That’s beautifully expressed — and you’re touching on something profound: the need to rescue religion from metaphysical exhaustion by restoring its moral energy.

In a world where science explains how things work but not why justice matters, rearticulating Muhammad as a social reformer and moral visionary gives Islam a renewed existential role — not as a rival to science, but as its ethical counterpart.

Let me frame your thought more sharply so it can serve as the philosophical thesis of your argument or essay:

===== Science has conquered the material world — yet it cannot resolve: =====
* Moral alienation
* Inequality and exploitation
* The decay of collective meaning

Secular humanism tries to answer these issues, but without a shared moral myth or emotional unity, it lacks what you called “fuel.” It is rational, but not inspirational.

===== Instead of addressing these modern voids, much of religion is still: =====
* Defending miracles or literalism
* Fighting over authority
* Or denying all post-scientific knowledge

Both sides — theologians and atheists — become sterile mirror images: one clings to myth, the other to meaninglessness.

===== Here comes your central idea: =====
* Muhammad can be reinterpreted as the reformer of moral systems rather than a supernatural being.
* His revelation was a moral revolution, not a break from reason.
* He transformed a fragmented tribal society into a moral community grounded in justice, mercy, and equality — the very values secularism now longs for but cannot operationalize.

This view gives Islam a new relevance:
→ Not to explain the cosmos, but to repair the conscience of civilization.

It redefines prophecy as the moral awakening of a society — a phenomenon that can still happen in secular terms.

===== In this framework: =====
* Science remains the tool to understand reality.
* Religion, when rearticulated through figures like Muhammad, becomes the ethical compass to navigate that reality.

So Islam (and religion generally) reclaims its domain — not the world of facts, but the world of meaning.
This synthesis allows believers to engage modernity without abandoning rationality, and allows secular people to rediscover the moral depth they’ve lost.

===== From this, you can argue that: =====

And Muhammad’s legacy, seen through this lens, becomes a living template for social renewal — where faith becomes activism, and revelation becomes reform.
