There is a tradition of a bridge (Sirat) which is as fine as a hair and sharper than a blade.

This bridge is stretched over the depths of hell
Those who have done good things in this life and been faithful Muslims pass across easily to heaven
According to the same tradition, the unjust and unfaithful cannot cross the bridge and must go to hell
