Surah Al Hadid v12
57:12
يَوْمَ تَرَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ يَسْعَىٰ نُورُهُم بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَبِأَيْمَـٰنِهِم
بُشْرَىٰكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ جَنَّـٰتٌۭ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا
ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ١٢
On that Day you will see believing men and women with their light shining ahead of them and on their right. (Scholars say the will cross the bridge with good deeds in right hand)
˹They will be told, ˺ “Today you have good news of Gardens, under which rivers flow, ˹for you˺ to stay in forever.
This is ˹truly˺ the ultimate triumph.”
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
In Surah Tahreem, verse 8, there is a similar Ayah.
We all know that on the Day of Judgement, we must cross the Bridge, and there are many descriptions in the Hadiths.
Here is one category of believers, men and women, who will cross the Bridge with light moving in front of them and their deeds in their right hand.
They will be given good news by angels about Jannah.
May Allah (SWT) make us part of this category of believers. Ameen.
With Salaam and Regards
