The Chinvat Bridge is the span between the world of the living and the
afterlife of the dead in the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism. It
is also known as Cinvat Bridge, Cinvad Bridge, and Chinvato Peretav. Every
soul, after death, was thought destined to cross the Chinvat Bridge where it
would be judged and assigned a place in the afterlife. Justified souls were
welcomed to paradise in one of the four levels of the House of Song,
condemned souls were dropped into one of the four hells of the House of Lies
. Those souls whose good and bad deeds were equal were assigned to a place
in between these two known as Hamistakan, an early vision of the Catholic
purgatory, where they would remain until the end of time and the day of
resurrection.
After Zoroastrianism was suppressed by the Muslim Arab invaders in the 7th
century CE, the concept of the bridge survived and was later incorporated
into the Muslim vision of the afterlife in the Hadiths where it is known as
As-Sirat. Belief in the reality of As-Sirat varies among Muslims in the
present day, and the validity of the ancient Persian concept, reworked by
Muslim theologians, continues to be debated. |
