Medieval thinkers classified Islam among revealed laws rather than philosophy

Evidence

Islam was rarely related to the errors of the ancients. Paris remarked on its ‘laxity’ in the words in eo Epicurus; Marti, classifying Islam with the other Laws explicitly distinguished it from the ‘lawless’ Epicureans, Naturals and Philosophers (/awless: i.e. without revelation); this is more representative; mediaevals certainly always thought of Islam with the revelations. — Norman Daniel, Islam and the West, 2287
