Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

in Islamism, is a bridge, narrower than a hair and sharper than a sword, which passes over the abyss of hell, and which all human beings must attempt, to cross after their death. Moslems are enabled, by sustaining angels, to pass over safely; but Christians, Jews and other unbelievers fall into the abyss below.
