It's more accurate to discuss numerical and geographic dominance rather than definitive "power," and in that context, Sunni Muslims currently outnumber Shia Muslims.
Numerical and Geographic Distribution
| Group | Estimated Ratio | Geographic Concentration |
|---|---|---|
| Sunni | 4:1 or 5:1 | Predominate over a wide area |
| Shia | 1:4 or 1:5 | Concentrated in specific areas (e.g., Iran, parts of Iraq) |
According to current estimates, Sunnis significantly outnumber Shias, by a ratio of approximately 4:1 or 5:1. Furthermore, Sunni Muslims are geographically spread over a larger area compared to Shia Muslims, who are primarily concentrated in specific regions.
