Full Definition
Siratal-Mustaqim means 'the straight path' - the true path of religious guidance. This Quranic term appears in the opening chapter (al-Fatiha) where believers pray to be guided on the straight path. In Ismaili interpretation, the straight path is realized through following the Imam's guidance, which leads to both worldly well-being and spiritual salvation.
