It depends on which "other Arabs" you are talking about; Pre-Islamic Arabia was a very religiously diverse place. However, the majority of Arabs were either henotheists or polytheists, so Muhammad's promotion of one God was unique for them. Conversely, Muhammad's revelation was different from those of the Jews and the Christians in citing a more universal prophetic tradition and creating a new set of edicts and organizations.

Prophet Muhammad's Belief of giving to the poor most disturbed the Arabs.
Some responded negatively such as Quraishi (the tribe the Muhammad was from)leaders. Many responded positively such as Abu Bakr the first caliph.

The question hinges on the words "teachings of the Prophet Muhammad". You are likely looking for the QUR'AN, which is the Islamic Holy Book, but Muslims will argue that these teachings are God's teachings with Muhammad serving only as a communication-device. In this view, the Qur'an cannot be Muhammad's teachings as they have nothing to do with his thoughts on any matter.If you are specifically interested in books containing Muhammad's personal teachings, I would recommend the HADITH COLLECTIONS, which are books assembled by Islamic Scholars of sayings and doings (Hadiths) attributed to Muhammad. Probably the most respected Hadith Collection in Sunni Islam is Sahih Bukhari followed closely by Sahih Muslim. (Sahih, means healthy, e.g. the recollection is bona fide.)

A very small Jewish minority exists.
