Imailis is a sect of Shiite Muslims, most influential in the Xth - XIIth centuries. The Ismailis emerged from a dispute in 765 over the succession of Jafar al-Sadiq, whom Shiites acknowledged as the sixth imam (spiritual successor to the Prophet Muhammad). The Ismailis recognized Ismail, the eldest son of Jafar, as his legitimate successor. On Ismail's death they acknowledged his son Muhammad as the seventh and last imam, whose return on Judgment Day they await. The Ismailis accept only 7 imams, rather than the 12 who are recognized by other Shiites. This book depicts sect's history from its very beginnings.
