The concept of the hereafter is a massive topic but know Allah is more merciful than to punish his servants for a sin they have repented from
His mercy encompasses all things. It is us who choose to turn away from him.
I've quoted below some sayings of the Prophet Muhammad sallaho alayhi wa sallam regarding the mercy in islam I don't want you to get the idea Islam only preaches punishment. Allah is extremely merciful but he is also just.
"Allah has made mercy into one hundred parts. He kept with Himself ninety-nine parts and sent down one part to the Earth so because of that part the creation is merciful such that a horse raises a hoof over its child for fear of hurting it."Al-Bukhari
"When Allah decreed the creation He wrote in His Book which is with Him on His Throne: My Mercy prevails over My Wrath."Al-Bukhari
The Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, was asked, "O Messenger of Allah pray against the idolators!" So the Prophet said, "Verily, I was not sent to invoke curses but rather I was only sent as a mercy."Muslim
"I am the Prophet of repentance and I am the Prophet of mercy."Muslim
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying : Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said: I live in the thought of My servant and I am with him as he remembers Me. (The Holy Prophet) further said: By Allah, Allah is more pleased wth the repentance of His servant than what one of you would do on finding the lost camel in the waterless desert. When he draws near Me by the span of his hand. I draw near him by the length of a cubit and when he draws near Me by the length of a cubit. I draw near him by the length of a fathom and when he draws near Me walking I draw close to him hurriedly.
