Not knowing whether you’ll fall or pass this path which is “thinner than hair” and “sharper than a sword” fills you with uncertainty and apprehension. But you pass this phase of one of the trials on the day of judgment. Now you’re filled with happiness and joy. With Allah’s mercy you passed one of the biggest tests and are right near the gates of Jannah (Paradise). You go and wait near Jannah. You can smell the fragrance of this beautiful abode which has
“promised to the righteous…[and] is the final fate of those who have done their duty” (Ar Ra’ad 35)
