Salam,
I have seen many muslims doing what is expected of them only out of fear of Allah.BUT we muslims should live our life in a nice balance of <b>hope </b> & <b>fear</b> as umar(r.a) use to say (not exact wordings)
If Allah tells me that He will grant paradise to all but with only one exception,I would fear that this person may be myself BUT if Allah tells me that I would throw everyone in hell but with one exception,I would hope that this person shall be myself.
Regards.
