Are Moabites Muslim?

Moab, Israel and Judah were three of the small independent West Semitic states to arise around the same time, following the decline of the Canaanite city-states. It may seem surprising that the Israelites and Judahites are now understood by scholars to have been West Semitic (Canaanite) people like the Moabites, but the Moabites never came to be regarded as Jewish. The Bible talks of a common bond between the people of the northern Hebrew kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah, but this bond is not evident with the Moabites.

What color were the people of Moab in the Bible?

It's unlikely we can know for sure, but logic would tell us that they were probably white to possibly somewhat dark complected. This is because Moab was a decendent of Lot who was Abraham's nephew. Abraham's family were ultimately decendants of Shem, the son of Noah. The African people were unrelated, since they were the sons of Ham the son of Noah.


Who are Moabites?

Moabites are a clan of people that lived in the region of Moab (land along eastern shore of the Dead Sea) from the early biblical times that were not recognized as followers of God. They worshiped their own gods. Ruth (the person who followed Naomi) was a member of the clan before she renounced her faith to follow the one true God.
