Would Christianity be as successful without the Heaven reward?

the Hadith contains Mohammad's words which were explained to him through God himself, that's how i came to that conclusion.

OT:  i don't think the Religions would have even gotten this far had they not promised heaven to the believers and hell to the non-believers.

There's isn't one hadith with one exaplanation, though. There's a different set of hadiths for the different sects of Islam (because they were interpreted differently. That's why there's different sects in the first place). Unless the hadiths you don't adhere to just so happen to be "wrong". But that just falls back to open interpretation. I hate to keep calling you back to the thread, but "there's only 1 interpretation of Islam" is absurdly false. But, then again, it's natural to believe that your own beliefs are what's correct and everyone else is wrong. As much as you say "there's only 1 interpretation" and it happens to be the way you interpret it, another Muslim could say to you "no, that's not the 1 interpretation. This is the 1 interpretation". Who would be, objectively, wrong? Neither. This is what makes religious beliefs popular when you think you're getting heaven at the end of the road.

the original Hadith prints are still located at Meccah :P

reading through my posts, i guess i worded some things wrongly.
