Question

se the map
A world map shows the geographic distribution of major Islamic sects and schools of law, divided into Sunni, Shiite, and Other branches.

The key identifies Sunni schools (Hanafi, Hanbali, Maliki, Shafi’i), Shiite schools (Ismaili, Jafari, Zaidi, other), and one other sect (Ibadi). The map also includes a scale showing distances of zero to two thousand miles and zero to two thousand kilometers. Sunni Sects: Hanafi: Dominant across Turkey, Syria, Iraq (north), Jordan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Central Asia (including Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan). Hanbali: Concentrated in Saudi Arabia. Maliki: Covers most of North and West Africa, including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, and parts of Sudan. Shafi’i: Found in East Africa (Somalia, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Uganda, Mozambique, Eritrea, coastal Kenya, and Tanzania), the southern Arabian Peninsula (Yemen), Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, and parts of Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, Indonesia, and the southern Philippines. Shiite Sects: Ismaili: Small regions in parts of Yemen, Oman, and eastern Africa, particularly around the coastal areas. Jafari: Centered in Iran, Iraq (south), and parts of Azerbaijan and Bahrain. This is the main branch of Shiite Islam. Zaidi: Concentrated in northern Yemen. Other Sects: Ibadi: Found primarily in Oman, with smaller populations in Zanzibar (Tanzania) and Mombasa (Kenya). The Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean are labeled on either side of the map.

Answer 1

"African Muslims are primarily Sunni Muslims."

Explanation: The map shows most of Africa covered by Sunni schools (Maliki in North/West Africa and Shafi’i in parts of East Africa), whereas Shiʿa and Ibadi areas are small and localized (Iran/Iraq/Yemen for Shiʿa, Oman and a few coastal pockets for Ibadi).
