The syllogism is as follows:
Signs are sent to provides proofs for Messengers.
Messengers are proven to be followed.
They are to be followed so that people can rise up for justice, be brought of darkness to light, and embody virtues.
Therefore Signs are sent for more then causing fear.
Now for it be only sent for fear....either the purpose of rising up for justice, being virtuous, moving from darkness to light, is all for fear or that fear is suppose to be the underlying motive for all that. It cannot simply just be a factor, but must be the motive. But both of these notions are absurd and contradict Quran. For example, hope in God, wanting to please him, these are suppose to be motives not simply out of fear. Also, the Quran has the goal of being purified is to be make it to the state of appreciation. Is appreciation something that should be motivated by simply fear?
