Consider Muhammad living 10 more years and seeing the conquest of Jerusalem, his main goal. Jerusalem becomes the holy city for muslims, he is buried next to the tomb of Jesus. The Byzantine clergy mission to evaluate islam’s claim, rather then cataloguing it as an heresy, recommends to integrate the Qu’ran as the Gospel of Muahamad. Instead of the Arab-Byzantine war, we have a reluctant mutual recognition. Religious infighting happens, but the Church of Muhammad grows in the Christian population as one of the branches of Christianity. Eventually, one of the emperors converts.
Of course warlords and empire regions would still fight each other, but instead of having the boring orthodox/roman catholic schism, we would have one between the pope and the descendants of Muhammad and instead of the crusades, a cultural war between the Latin and Arab-speaking intellectual of the time.
An interesting idea, but I feel like Islam would have to rise before Trinitarianism became established. Or Trinitarianism would have to remain controversial until Islam arose, whichever chain of events one prefers.
