This is a half rant/half opinion post. I believe that many Muslims nowadays especially mainstream Muslims pray for the sake of heaven or just for the sake of praying which seems illogical to me (please correct me if I’m wrong) the main point of praying is that you pray to Allah not from fear of hell or greed of heaven but purely because you admire and love him and his eternal holiness.

In a similar vein I also believe the main point of following the Quran and praying is to become a good person. Almost every surah and ayat is there to guide you to become a good person yet I’ve seen atheists and other non muslims that are more loving and peaceful than even the most religious muslims
