QUESTION:
What will the outcome of the children of the disbelievers be, on the Day of Resurrection?

All praise is due to Allaah alone and may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon His Messenger and his family and his Companions….
To proceed:
That which is correct from the statements of the scholars is that Allaah, the Most High will test them on the day of resurrection, so whosoever obeys, then he will be from the people of Paradise and whosoever disobeys the he will be from the people of the Fire, and this explanation is in accordance with his statement sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam:
“ Çááå ÃÚáã ÈãÇ ßÇäæÇ ÚÇãáíä ”
“Allaah knows best about that which they would have done.” [1]
In response to the one who asked about the children of the disbelievers.
And success is with Allaah and may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon our Prophet and his family and Companions.
