In Arabic, "As-Sirat" linguistically means a path or road. "As-Sirat Al-Mustaqim" (the Straight Path) is the path of truth revealed by divine inspiration, as stated in the Almighty's words: ﴿Guide us to the Straight Path – The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor﴾ (Al-Fatiha: 6-7), and His saying: ﴿And indeed, this is My path, leading straight, so follow it﴾ (Al-An'am: 153). "As-Sirat" also refers to a bridge over Hell, which people cross according to their deeds.
