Oligarchy and theocracy are both forms of government where power is concentrated in the hands of a specific group. In an oligarchy, this group is typically composed of a small number of individuals or families who hold power based on wealth, social status, or political influence. In a theocracy, power is held by religious leaders or institutions, and governance is based on religious laws and principles. Both systems limit broader participation in governance, but they differ in the basis of authority—secular versus religious.

"Power distribution" is most closely related to an oligarchy. In an oligarchy, power is concentrated in the hands of a few individuals or a small group, giving them significant influence and control over decision-making and governance.
An oligarchy is rule and governance by the rich and powerful, usually the business class but sometimes the elite who inherited money, land, mineral rights and/or livestock, etc. A theocracy is rule by spiritual leaders. Both rely on the masses embracing supportive belief systems. Rebellion always occurs if rule isn't just. Neither belief system lasts or works well. [See Discussion on this line]
Islam is basically a theocracy run by men which also makes it a patriarchy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Theocracies are a terribly cruel form of government because the "men" in power think that anything they do is "justified" by God. This enables them to do virtually anything to anybody without conscience.
They are all different types of government
