99% of Muslims were illiterate in those centuries. Their alphabet was "invented" only to put the Koran in writing.
Since they lived in deserts there were no trees for writing materials or sources for papyrus.

I also don't think it was Muslim either because they were simply too backward to produce something like this papyrus.

Highly doubtful. It’s not an Arabic text.

I think not. If it were written by Muslims, it would have been written in Arabic, not Coptic. Nor would the Muslims have considered it Scripture, since the canon of the Koran was already settled by Uthman ibn Affan (600's) and they would never have added extra-Koranic "scripture."

Maybe a copy of some trifle of Gnosticism.
