1- We have hadiths that state God doesn’t have emotions. Secondly, emotions are effects of having a physical dimension—we have hormones in our brains for example that make us feel emotions. Emotions are reactions. Allah is above such limitations. No such reactions take place in Allah, otherwise he would be in need.

2- The point of the video wasn’t that we should work for rewards only. Of course we should work for Allah’s pleasure—but Allah’s pleasure isn’t like our human emotions when we feel pleasure. It’s much greater than that. It’s an amazing status that He gives us. But Allah doesn’t have feelings—you limit Him if you say He has feelings. So yes he cares about us, but not through feelings and emotions. It’s through other spiritual ways.
