Only those who cross it successfully will achieve salvation and bliss.

Only those who cross it successfully will achieve salvation and bliss. With reference to those who will fall into hell, the Almighty says: Have you not considered those who have changed Allah's favor into blasphemy and caused their people to fall into the abode of perdition? (Holy Qur'an, Surah Ibrahim 14:28) To whomsoever My wrath is due, he shall fall therein. (Holy Qur'an Surah Taha 20:81) Whoever follows My guidance will not lose his way nor fall into perdition.

(Holy Qur'an, Surah Taha 20:123) Nor will his wealth benefit him when he falls headlong (into the pit of fire) (Holy Qur'an, Surah Layl 92:11). If one is found as having been derelict in performing any of his obligations, the angels questioning him will try to find out whether he somehow made up with optional good deeds. Once he is cleared, he will be escorted into Paradise.

It is to such stopping and questioning that the Almighty refers, addressing His angels to Stop them, for they must be questioned. (Holy Qur'an, Surah Saffat 37:24) On p. 133, Vol. 17, of his Al-Mizan , Tabatabai quotes various views regarding what the questioning will be all about.

He isays that some scholars are of the opinion that they will be asked about the Unity of Allah, while others believe it will be about the wilayat of Imam Ali (as), but he also concedes that such stopping and questioning will take place on the Sirat over hell. On p. 107 of al-Saduq's Al-Amali , and also on pp. 64-65, Vol.

8, of al-Majlisi's Bihar al-Anwar , al-Waleed quotes al-Saffar quoting Ibn ‘Eisa quoting Muhammad al-Barqi quoting al-Qasim ibn Muhammad al-Jawhari quoting Ali ibn Abu Hamza quoting Au Busayr quoting Abu Abdullah Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (as) saying, "People will pass on different levels on the Sirat , and it is thinner than hair and sharper than the sword.

Some will pass as swiftly as lightning, while others will pass as fast as a horse, while some of them will crawl on it, some will walk on it, while some others will pass hanging, so the fire will consume some of their body parts and leave others." Imam Abu Ja’far al-Baqir (as) is quoted on p. 65, Vol.
