Prophet Muḥammad (pbuh&h) stated about the description of Aá¹£-á¹£irÄá¹ 1:
“The way of justice is narrower than hair and sharper than sword! [A two-edged sword]â€
This means, if someone slips on the justice way, s/ he will fix in the vices and deviates from the Aá¹£-á¹£irÄá¹.
Moderation and salvation path are in fact a single way; which is the same justice path.
That is the way which ends to the Emergence.
Satan seeks to exclude man from the path of justice and wisdom [The right way],
and to make her/ him wander in excessiveness and dissipation (immoderation)
In one of the Wisdoms, the lord of pious people “Amir al-Mu’minin Imam†Ali (pbuh) stated,
“لا تَری الجاهÙÙ„ÙŽ اÙلاّمÙÙرÙطاً اَو Ù…ÙÙَرّÙطاً”
In this wisdom his majesty [Imam Ali (pbuh)] believes that, a person who has not reached the modest level of reason and is ignorant, will always remain in extremism.
Such and individual never achieves moderation, but also Satan will overcome him/her.
1-As-SirÄt is the hair-narrow bridge which every human must pass on the Yawm ad-Din (“Day of the Way of Life” i.e. Day of Judgment) to enter Paradise.
