Ahl-i-Sunnat wal Jam'at, also known as Sunni Muslim, form the vast majority. Most of them follow the jurisprudence of Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal RA. Many follow the Hanbali preacher Abd el-Wahhab and are called Wahhabis.
In addition to the Sunni Muslims, there are small communities of Twelver Shiites in northeast Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and they form the majority in Bahrain. There are large communities of Zaydi Shiites in northern Yemen and there are large communities of Ibadi Muslims (a third sect that is not Sunni or Shiite) in Oman.
