Best Answer

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.

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.
