Islam is the main religion of Kuwait, with the majority of Kuwaiti citizens being Muslim. It is estimated that 80%–85% are Sunni and 15%–20% are Shias. In 2001, there were an estimated 700,000 Sunni Kuwaiti citizens and 125,000 Shia Kuwaiti citizens. In 2002, the US Department of State reported that Shias formed 15%-20% of Kuwait's citizen population, noting there were 705,000 Sunni Kuwaiti citizens and 855,000 Kuwaiti citizens in total (84% Sunnis, 16% Shias). In 2004, there were an estimated 760,000 Sunni Kuwaiti citizens, 140,000-150,000 Shia Kuwaiti citizens and 913,000 Kuwaiti citizens in total.

Some other minor Muslim sects do exist in Kuwait's society, but in very small or rare numbers. There are no estimates of the number of non-citizen Muslims.
