A translated summary of Fadel Soliman Arabic book "Muslim Copts Before Muhammad (PBUH)".
Along the divine messages, and through all prophecies and divine legislations, the Oneness of God (Almighty Allah) was always the essence of the true religion as well as the belief in resurrection and judgement after death.
However, a historical conflict has always been there between the followers of the doctrine of Oneness and idolaters, it was severe and violent, and for many eras, idolatry was dominant and widespread, despite the clarity of the doctrine of Oneness which all Prophets of Allah came with.
The followers of the doctrine of Oneness suffered persecution and struggled everywhere protecting the existence and continuity of the divine monotheistic religion.
In this context, Arius was reforming Christianity, since the fourth century (AC) to the seventh century in which the religious monotheism shone in its ideal image in the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Arianism was spreading after the death of Arius more than its spread through his life, and the world was about to be Arian, according to the sayings of its enemies themselves.
The literatures written about the differences between Christian churches around the nature of Christ, contained statements referring to the existence of Arianism in the Christian world until the coming of Islam in the seventh century, in which many Arians found their missed desire, in the purity of the doctrine of the Oneness of Allah, so they rushed towards it, embracing it.
