Yes. Both things exist.

Arabs are people of the Middle East that are united by a common language: Arabic, and a common history: the Islamic Caliphates. Arabs are not necessarily of the same ethnic stock and in many cases are of mixed heritage due to intermarriage between the Arabs coming up from the Arabian Peninsula and indigenous Semites and Berbers. There are roughly 440 million Arabs in the world. Not all Arabs are Muslim, even though >90% are, but all Arabs have (in their history) spent time under an Islamic government.

Islam is a religion that prevails in numerous parts of the world (Middle East, North Africa, some of South Asia, the Indonesian archipelago, and parts of Sub-Saharan Africa) that is held together by common beliefs about how there is one God who expressed his final revelation to an Arab Prophet named Muhammad. There are roughly 1.6 billion Muslims, followers of Islam, in the world.
