The fate of the one whose good deeds and bad deeds are equal on the Day of Resurrection

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
He also asks and says: What is the fate of the one whose good deeds and bad deeds are equal on the Day of Reckoning? Will he enter Paradise, or is it necessary that he take his share of the Fire? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good?
Answer: Allah knows best; His command is to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). However, it is certain that his ultimate fate must be Paradise. As for whether he will be punished or not, that is up to Allah . Because the monotheist whose good deeds and bad deeds are equal ends up in Paradise. However, he may be pardoned by the grace of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and enter Paradise immediately, or he may enter the Fire because of the bad deeds from which he did not repent, so he is under the will of Allah . And Allah knows best whether he enters Paradise immediately or is not pardoned but is punished according to the sins upon which he died without repenting, and then he ends up in Paradise? This is a principle among the people of the Sunnah and the community: the fate of the monotheists is Paradise, whether they enter the Fire or not. If he enters it because of his sins, he will not remain in it forever, but after he is purified and tested, he will come out of the Fire into Paradise, where he will be thrown into the River of Life and will grow as a plant grows in the flood’s deposit, as came in the noble hadith.
Then after that, he enters Paradise, and Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) may forgivethe disobedient monotheist believer. Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) may forgive him, through the intercession of the intercessors, or by His grace (Glorified and Exalted is He) purely out of His mercy, without the intercession of anyone, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) will admit him into Paradise. It is well-established in the hadiths from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that some of the sinners will enter the Fire and remain in it for as long as Allah wills, then Allah will take them out of the Fire because of their tawhid (the oneness of Allah), their faith, and their Islam, and admit them into Paradise. Those whose good deeds and bad deeds are numerous and whose good deeds and bad deeds are equal are in the category of sinners, and their case is left to the will of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).Yes.
The presenter: May Allah bless you and reward you with good.
