Religious disputes have become a challenging factor in the Persian Gulf region. Political disagreements among some countries in the region have led to religious disagreements and undermined relations between the regional nations. Among the eight nations in the Persian Gulf region, all are Muslims and Islam represents their official religion. There are also Shia Muslims in all of these countries. In recent years, due to religious self-awareness, the denial of the social and organizational structure in Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Iraq (before the downfall of the Ba›ath regime), followers of the Shiite denomination have sought their rights. This has led to the Saudi and Bahraini government to mistreat them and exert physical violence against the Shiites. This paper uses a descriptive- analytical method, using library resources and internet websites to investigate challenges faced by followers of Shiite denomination in Bahrain. The main question this Article seeks to answer is: what is the situation of the Shiites in Bahrain? The results show that there are challenges faced by the Shiites in Bahrain and that relations between the Shiites and the rulers have been disrupted.
