==Ismailism amongst Shia Islam== The Shia belief throughout its history split over the issue of the Imamate. The largest branch is the [[Twelver]]s, followed by the Ismailis then the [[Zaidiyyah|Zaidis]] and [[Kaysanites|Kaysanite]]. All the groups follow a different line of Imamate linked together as shown in the chart below. ===A schematic of the development of important branches === {{Tree chart/start|style=font-size:66%;}} {{Tree chart|boxstyle=background:#B2FFFF;| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |}} {{Tree chart|boxstyle=background:#B2FFFF;| ALI | | | | | | | | |ALI=[[Abd al-Muttalib]]}} {{Tree chart|boxstyle=background:#B2FFFF;| |:| | | | | | | | | | | | |}} {{Tree chart|boxstyle=background:#B2FFFF;| ALI | | | | | | | | |ALI=[[Abi Talib]]}} {{Tree chart|boxstyle=background:#B2FFFF;| |:| | | | | | | | | | | | |}} {{Tree chart|boxstyle=background:#B2FFFF;| ALI | | | | | | | | |ALI='''[[Ali|Imâm Ali]] ibn [[Abi Talib]]'''}} {{Tree chart|boxstyle=background:#B2FFFF;| |!| | | | | | | | | | | | |}} {{Tree chart|boxstyle=background:#B2FFFF;| HAS | | | | | | | | |HAS='''[[Hasan ibn Ali|Imâm Hasan]] ibn [[Ali]]'''}} {{Tree chart|boxstyle=background:#B2FFFF;| |!| | | | | | | | | | | | |}} {{Tree chart|boxstyle=background:#B2FFFF;| HÜS | | | | | | | | |HÜS='''[[Husayn ibn Ali|2.
