Most Arabs are Sunni Muslims, but a significant minority are Shiite Muslims, Baha'i, Alawites, Christians, and Jews. It is worth noting, though, that most Christians and Jews in the Arab World do not identify as Arabs.
Most Meccans rejected Islam outright, which forced Mohammed to flee to Yethrib (Medina) where the tribes there were willing to tolerate him. After Mohammed conquered Mecca militarily, the rest of Arabs were willing to accept Islam in order to avoid confrontation with Mohammed. After Mohammed's death, many Arab tribes left Islam, which compelled Abu Bakr to reconquer them and force them to remain Muslims. After that, there has been no significant pull among Arabs away from Islam.

The most common religion in Egypt now is Islam. But before they started to get taken over by other cultures, Egyptians practiced a polytheistic religion where the people believed in an afterlife. This was in ancient times.
