Shoaib

Shuaib (ʃuʕajb), or Shuʿayb, or Shoaib (شعيب šuʿayb; meaning who shows the right path), was an ancient Midianite Prophet, sometimes identified with the Biblical Jethro (though Islam attributes to him many deeds not mentioned in the Bible). He is mentioned in the Quran a total of 11 times. He is believed to have lived after Abraham, and Muslims believe that he was sent as a prophet to a community: the Midianites also known as the People of the Tree since they used to worship a large tree. To the people, Shuʿayb proclaimed the faith of Islam and warned the people to end their fraudulent ways. When they did not repent, God destroyed the community. Shuʿayb is understood by Muslims to have been one of the few Arabian prophets mentioned by name in the Quran, the others being Saleh, Hud, and prophet Muhammad. It is said that he was known by early Muslims as the eloquent preacher amongst the prophets, because he was, according to tradition, granted talent and eloquence in his language.
