Shuaib

[3][5] Alongside Hud, Saleh and Muhammad, Shuaib is understood by Muslims as one of the four Arabian prophets sent by God.

[8] The Druze revere Shuaib as an important figure in their faith, and hold an annual pilgrimage to Nabi Shu'ayb, the purported location of his tomb, in the Lower Galilee.

[1] The area to which Shuʿayb was sent to is named Madyan in the Qur'an, known in English as Midian, which is frequently referred to in the Hebrew Bible.

Although Shuaib is frequently identified with the Midianite priest Jethro, most modern scholars reject this identification.

[8] That would render impossible the identification with Jethro, who lived at the time of Moses, purportedly hundreds of years after Abraham.

[13] Scholars chronologically interpret the listing of the five prophets, so Shuʿayb was a descendant of Noah (preached about the Great Flood) and Abraham.

One claimed tomb of Shuayb is found in Jordan,[16] 2 km (1.2 mi) west of the town of Mahis, in an area called Wādī Shuʿayb (Arabic: وَادِي شُعَيْب).
