Question

I wanted to know why couldn’t we build our moralities based on moral values and not in the greed of gaining paradise or fear of Hell?

Answer

Regarding the real motivation of doing good and abstaining from evil, the important thing to realize is that pleasing God (Paradise is only a consequence of this) is the corollary of having faith in Him. So a true believer resultantly is rewarded for this attitude. In other words, if a person has true faith in God, he will definitely try to please Him and when He pleases Him, he will be rewarded with Paradise.
