A Muslim Doing Good Out Of Sympathy Only
What does Islam say about the person who is in following scenario and what’s the correct way forward for such a person.
The scenario is-
– Does good to people out of sympathy or just thinking its good deed based on fitrah but not with the intention for the sake of Allah.
– Feels that he is thrown into this test of life forcefully but not out of his/her will.
– Does not want to do nafl acts because many muslims or non-muslims are also thriving and happy without doing extra ibadaat.
– Does not feel exited by jannah because everyone is going to be in jannah out of allah’s mercy and everyone will be on same levels of paradise finally.
– Does the daily prayers out of fear of hell but not because out of obedience to allah or because of getting jannah.
– Feels that allah is not coming to help him/her and allah has left him/her to his/her misery
Whats the root cause of all the above scenarios and what is the correct way forward.
Jazakallahu khairaa.

The question needs to be an objective question in accordance with Ask Ghamidi Code of Conduct:
https://ask.ghamidi.org/code-of-conduct/
This question is very much speculative in nature with a lot of assumptions at play.
The best that can be said based on the available information that the person under discussion has not had a good introduction of Islam, the concept of ibadah, the being of God and other pertinent facts mentioned in Quran which strengthen the relationship between God and his creation. I’d recommend that person to first properly understand the concept of Ibadah:

And then understand the premise of religion:
And then should consciously make a decision whether or not one accpets Islam or not. And if a human being accepts Islam consciously, then it is against human nature that he or she would not accept it whole-heartedly. Either he accepts it or he does not accept it. The middle cases we see like this are most of the times result of being imposed with Islam and not as a result of a conscious decision.
And when a conscious muslim is faced with hardships in life, his attitdue is very different as oppossed to a half-hearted conditional muslims.

Dear brother,
The concepts given in the questions are assumptions. You need to know the concepts given by the religion.
Humans are not forcefully thrown into the test of this life, they willingly opted for it. See Verse 33: 72
Worship is not done for happiness but to establish our relationship with God.
Fear of God is an essential part of our relationship with God apart from our love for Him.
Not all will be equal in status in paradise.
God is all-knowing. Our test and trail are being watched by Him. It is His disccretion to help interfare in our matters or not according to his knowledge and wisdom.
