{{summary | text=Mandaeism (or Mandaeanism or Sabianism) is a term for the religion of the Mandaeans, who consider [[Adam]], [[Noah]] and [[John the Baptist]] as their prophets (but not [[Abraham]], [[Moses]] or [[Jesus]]). Mandaeism is a monotheistic religion with a strongly dualistic worldview, practiced primarily in southern [[Iraq]] and the [[Iran]]ian province of [[Khuzestan]], as well as among a small diaspora population in [[Europe]], [[Australia]], and [[North America]]. The exact number of Mandaeans worldwide is unknown, but probably around 50,000. The Mandaeans have remained separate and intensely private — what has been reported of them and their religion has come primarily from outsiders.}}
