Core Conceptual Overview
Al-Sirat is the path leading to Paradise on the Day of Judgment, crossed according to the strength of one's faith and deeds.
يَوْمَ تَرَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَسْعَىٰ نُورُهُم بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَبِأَيْمَانِهِم
“On the Day you see the believing men and believing women, their light proceeding before them and on their right...”

“The light that guides you on the final path is built by the good deeds you do today.”
