Assalamoo Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Baraktooh,

We hear that on the Day of Judgement if a person's good deeds outweigh their bad deeds they will go to Jannah. This implies that the pass rate is 51%. Is this correct? If so, do we not only have ourselves to blame if we fail, especially when the reward for good deeds is multiplied significantly.
Right, Allah multiplies every good deed by 10, or 70 or 700 or many times over, while a bad deed is only written down as one bad deed. This is because of the mercy of Allah.

This reminds me of a Hadith Qudsi:
On the authority of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), among the sayings he related from his Lord (glorified and exalted be He) is that He said:

"Allah has written down the good deeds and the bad ones." Then He explained it [by saying that] "he who has intended a good deed and has not done it, Allah writes it down with Himself as a full good deed, but if he has intended it and has done it, Allah writes it down with Himself as from ten good deeds to seven hundred times, or many times over. But if he has intended a bad deed and has not done it, Allah writes it down with Himself as a full good deed, but if he has intended it and has done it, Allah writes it down as one bad deed."

[Bukhari and Muslim.]
