Who are the "sincere"? Allah says:

"Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah , the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakah; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous." - Quran (2:177)

Muslims should strive for sincerity out of love for Allah and humanity

No. The spoiler was to drive my point across in the boldest manner possible but without being overtly controversial.

Let me clarify.
Do you think sincerity in your actions would've been an issue if there were no punishments for those that weren't sincere?


Oh, well for me personally, to be honest, no...not really. If punishments weren't present in Islam, I doubt I would be as concerned about things. What do you think? Does the punishment influence you to strive somehow? Your question is rather interesting actually...makes me ponder.

What about fear? Do you think its role is significant in driving us to possess sincerity? Lol, tut tut fairy.

True but my point is that one must do good for the right reasons.

Are these reasons pleasing Allah, or trying to save ourselves from eternal hellfire?

Pleasing Allah and fear of disappointing Allah.
Question everything you do. Constantly renew your intentions.

Yes, because fear of God is part of "Islamic sincerity" if I'm not wrong.
