God's affection and love and it's role in motivating morality from view point of Abu Hamed Qazali

The reason of human inclination to moral deeds is one of the most important issues which is discussed in meta-ethics. This issue is discussed in writings of philosophies and scholars of ethics under the name of theory of behavioral motivation. The viewpoints of scholars of ethics are different about this issue. Socrates introduces the main reason of theory of behavioral motivation is recognition, and Aristotle not only includes recognition but also feeling, imagination, inclination, enthusiasm, wisdom, character, willing. Among the Islamic scholars of ethics, Abu Hamed Qazali has looked specifically to discussion of reasons of behavioral motivation. He thinks that God’s will, recognition, affection of God, art, exultation and so on are effective in behavioral motivation. In his vision the role of love to God is playing more role than others, and after God’s will there would be no other reason but love to God in motivating moralities.
