The Sabians, sometimes also spelled Sabaeans or Sabeans, are a religious group mentioned three times in the Quran where it is implied that they belonged to the 'People of the Book' (ahl al-kitab). Modern scholars have identified them as Mandaeans, Manichaeans, Sabaeans, Elchasaites, Archontics or as adherents of the astral religion of Harran. Some scholars believe that it is impossible to establish their original identity with any degree of certainty.
