What if there was a more Deistic version of Islam? That does away with the divine revelation of Islam and tries to focus on worshipping Allah and solely himself. I'd imagine it would be akin to the European deism of the 17th and 18th centuries where doing science and using reason is seen as an act of worship through of course ''traditional'' ritualistic practices are downplayed. Early Islamic philosophy was influenced by Greek philosophy. Some Greek schools of thought already have quasi-deistic ideals. Demiurge and the Unmoved Mover come to mind.


I guess it will happen if Islamic thinkers stumble upon scientific principles that led to a more mechanistic view of the universe?

Preferably, this happens during the Islamic Golden age but any other era is fine as well.
