ANSWER:
We do good deeds and worship Allah to please Him and to seek jannah and because we fear His punishment and fire. This is what the Quran told us about the prophets and messengers of Allah and that they feared His wrath and hoped in His Paradise.
Only deviant sufis say they worship Allah to please Him and not to seek jannah which is totally wrong and a deviant aqeedah
