Like Lightning or Crawling
The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said about crossing over the Siraat (Bridge over Hell): “The first of you will cross it like lightning.” Abu Hurayrah (radi Allahu anhu) asked: “May my father and my mother be sacrificed for you! How can it be like lightning?” He (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Have you not seen lightning, how it goes and comes back in the blinking of an eye? Then (some will pass) like the wind, or like birds and fast horses, and the speed at which people cross will be according to their deeds…. until the people’s deeds will be failing in strength, and a man will come who could only move by crawling. At the edges of the Siraat will be hooks, hanging ready to catch anyone whom they are commanded (to catch).” [Muslim]
In life we have a choice. We can choose to travel on Siraat-e-Mustaqeem, Allah’s prescribed Path to Jannah, or we can keep off of it and live as we please.
Even if we choose to stay on the Siraat-e-Mustaqeem (Straight Path), we determine our speed on it. Some people rush to obey Allah, some go crawling, some stand still on it hardly moving, and some deviate and then come back.
But pay heed to what you are doing!
The manner and speed with which we traveled on Siraat-e-Mustaqeem in life, will determine the manner and speed with which we cross the Siraat over Hell.
