Muslims are just Arians but evolved. Arians are actually probably partly responsible for Muhammad's own theology. Arabia was a refuge for non-trinitarians because it was on the hinterlands of the authority of the catholic church. There is actually known to have been Arian bishops active throughout arabia around the same time as and before Muhammad's birth. If Islam were not already *well* settled into its own cultural niche, I would call them unitarian Christians because muslims pretty much are when you dig into the meat and potatoes of their theology.

I mean, he had to learn about Jesus and the Bible *somewhere*, and he had to have not simply converted to chalcedonian Christianity for some reason or another. The jews and pagans certainly weren't gonna teach the man about Jesus. And if he had met a catholic monk instead, he'd have just lived and died as an unknown layperson, or maybe a Saint if he did all the same things he did OTL to convert pagans to Christianity instead of Islam.

And in Islamic tradition, the Christian monk Bahira was his teacher. No mention is ever given about what sect of Christianity he believed in. He was most likely Arian. Sources either call him nestorian, Arian, or ebionite. But Islamic theology is a closer match to arianism than any of the others. Not a 100% carbon copy, but it's very close on the nature of Christ's divinity vs other unitarians.

It's an interesting deep-dive on it and fascinating to see how it survives in the Jehova's Witness and mormon cults.
