Is it true that the order of passage over the Sirat (Bridge) begins with those who have the most light and speed, then those who follow them, then people who have no light fall off, and after them comes the last one to pass, who is the man whose light is in his big toe? And does the last of them pass after those who have fallen and been cast into the Fire?

The Sirat is set up only for believers and hypocrites, not for disbelievers and polytheists, because they are cast directly into the Fire. People cross the Sirat at varying speeds according to their deeds, for the Sirat is a slippery and perilous bridge, like the edge of a sword. People are given a light whose intensity varies according to their deeds. As for the hypocrites, their light is extinguished before crossing the Sirat, and a barrier is placed between them and the believers.
