Some did. The Jews were quite active in seeking converts. By the time of Muhammad, there were quite a few Jews and Christians among the Arabs. When Muhammad went to Medina, he met two Arab tribes that had adopted Judaism.

Some of the Arab Jews subsequently became Muslims, while others retained their Jewish faith and were known as Arab Jews. Since the Israeli Declaration of Independence, they have been encouraged to forget their Arab associations and identify as Sephardic Jews.
