Shia Islam in Bahrain is estimated to be approximately 70% of the Muslim population in Bahrain. This number is disputed, with the Sunni royal family placing it closer to half, some surveys estimating it to be 62%, and most sources placing the estimate somewhere near 70% of the Muslim population. This number may no longer be accurate due to the increasing rates of naturalization of Sunni migrants in Bahrain. Most major mosques in the country are Shia, however, the ruling family practices Sunni Islam. According to the Washington Institute, the views of Shia and Sunni leaders in Bahrain are similar to their Arab neighboring countries.
