The Parable Of The Straight Path

Allah has given a parable of the straight path, and on the two sides of this path, there are two walls containing door ways.

On these door ways, there are curtains that are lowered down.

On the gate of this path there is a caller heralding, "O people! come and enter the straight path all together and do not divide.

"There is also another caller that heralds from above the path, who says when a person wants to remove the curtain on any of these doors, `Woe to you! Do not open this door, for if you open it, you will enter it.

The (straight) path is Al-Islam, the two walls are Allah's set limits, the open doors lead to Allah's prohibitions, the caller on the gate of the path is Allah's Book (the Qur'an), while the caller from above the path is Allah's admonition in the heart of every Muslim.

At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i also recorded this Hadith, and At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan Gharib.''
