The answer

The Day of Judgment is the Day of Recompense and Accountability, where Allah holds His servants accountable before they cross the Sirat (Bridge), as mentioned in the about the bankrupt person. Then, people will cross the Sirat, either emerging safe, or scratched but safe, or piled into the Hellfire. If a believer crosses the Sirat, he is saved from the Fire. After the believers cross the Sirat, they will be detained on a bridge (qantarah) between Paradise and Hell to settle injustices that occurred among them in the world, so that they may be purified and refined. Whoever Allah saves from the Fire and crosses the Sirat will not return to it thereafter. This bridge is for believers whose injustices do not exhaust their good deeds. Scholars have differed on the manner of settling accounts on this qantarah. Some believe it will be through good deeds and bad deeds, while others believe that Allah will instill forgiveness in their hearts.
