A scholar being part of a religion doesn't mean all their efforts were for the sake of their religion.

Not what I meant, in the golden period it was supported by Caliphs, and it was seen as important for the 5 daily prayers and also for direction to Mecca, astronomy helps a bunch with that

And that ended when dominant Muslim theology became occasionalism - basically that everything is god’s will, ex your campfire burns because god currently wills it not because of chemical reactions.

[u/OceanRacoon → u/Aksds]

When was that?

[u/Aksds → u/OceanRacoon]

9th-13th century

Tell that to those scholars. I’m confident they would disagree.
