Shuaib, Shoaib, Shuayb or Shuʿayb (Arabic: شعيب, IPA: [ʃuʕajb]; meaning: "who shows the right path") is an ancient Midianite Prophet in Islam, and the most revered prophet in the Druze faith.[1] Shuayb is traditionally identified with the biblical Jethro, Moses' father-in-law. Shuaib is mentioned in the Quran a total of 11 times.[2] He is believed to have lived after Abraham, and Muslims believe that he was sent as a prophet to a community: the Midianites,[3] who are also known as the Aṣḥāb al-Aykah ("Companions of the Wood"),[4][5][6][7] since they used to worship a large tree. To the people, Shuaib proclaimed the straight path and warned the people to end their fraudulent ways. When the community did not repent, God destroyed the community.[3][5]

Alongside Hud, Saleh and Muhammad, Shuaib is understood by Muslims as one of the four Arabian prophets sent by God. It is said that he was known by Muslims as "the eloquent preacher amongst the prophets", because he was, according to tradition, granted talent and eloquence in his language.[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]
