Islam - Shia Imami Ismaili is a part of Shia Imami Ismaili Islam and the larger Islam religion. Ismailism is the second largest branch of Shia Islam after the Twelvers. The Ismaili get their name from their acceptance of Ismail ibn Jafar as the appointed spiritual successor (Imam) to Jafar a-adiq, wherein they differ from the Twelvers, who accept Musà al-Kazim, younger brother of Ismail, as the true Imam.
