Not to be confused with
Sabian, the Canadian cymbal manufacturing company;
Sabaeans, an ancient people living in what is now Yemen;
Sabbateans, followers of
Sabbatai Zevi; or
Sabines, a pre-Roman
Italic tribe of
Latium. Sabians (, , ) are adherents of religions derived from the beliefs of a community which was based in the
Harran region of southeastern
Anatolia and northern
Syria. There are two kinds of Sabians, non-gnostic Sabians (Sābi'ūna Hunafāh) and gnostic Sabians (i.e. the Sābi'ūna Mushrukūn
Sabians of Harran and
Mandaean Nasaræan Sabeans). They are not to be confused with the
Sabaeans of
Sheba whose etymology is completely unrelated being spelled with an initial Arabic letter "Sin" instead of the initial letter "Sad" (though the issue was confused because at least one tribe of Sabaeans, the
Ansar, are known to have adopted the religion of the Saabi`ah Hunafa`).
