Default Doing good only for the sake of reward?
I came across a thought provoking comment that said something along the lines of "an atheist/intelligent person does not need the promise of heave to see the merit of good deeds". It's been niggling at me for a few hours now. I don't quite know how to explain how it's making me feel, other than, is that true? Are we only "good" or strive to do good because of the promise of a reward? What does that make us quote religious folk compared to the irreligious who still do good? Somewhere I read, mafoom, that doing ibada' for the sake of a reward is considered to be the lowest form of worship (I'll double check on this).
