  • Twelver or Imami Shī‘ism is the largest branch of Shī‘ī (Shi'a) Islam. An adherent of Twelver Shī‘ism is most commonly referred to as a Twelver, which is derived from their belief in twelve divinely ordained leaders, known as the Twelve Imāms. Approximately 85% of Shī‘a are Twelvers, representing the largest branch of the Shī‘a, and the term Shi'a Muslim as commonly used in English usually refers to Twelver Shī‘a Muslims only. Twelvers share many tenets of Shī‘ism with related sects, such as the belief in Imāms, but the Ismā‘īlī and Zaydī Shī‘ī sects each believe in a different number of Imāms and for the most part, a different path of succession regarding the Imāmate. They also differ in the role and overall definition of an Imām. The Twelver faith is predominantly found in Iran (90%), Azerbaijan (85%), Bahrain (80%), Iraq (65%), Lebanon (35%), and Kuwait (35%). It also forms a large minority in Pakistan (30%), and Saudi Arabia (10–15%).
  • L'imamisme (en àrab الإثنا عشرية o الشيعة الإثنا عشرية, al-iṯnāʿaxariyya o ax-xīʿa al-iṯnāʿaxariyya o ithna ashariyya) és una branca del xiisme que admet l'existència de dotze imams, per això als seus adeptes se'ls coneix igualment com a duodecimams (ithna ashar = dotze) començant en Alí ibn Abi-Tàlib i acabant en Muhàmmad al-Mahdi. Es diferencien clarament de les corrents zaydita (cinc imams) i ismaïlita (set imams) i d'altres corrents menors que han existit per un cert temps amb altre nombre d'imams o amb diferent interpretació, per un millor equilibri en els elements exotèrics i esotèrics. Aquesta branca proposa que el dotzè imam xiïta, l'imam Muhàmmad al-Mahdí, desaparegut després de l'any 873, només reapareixerà al final dels temps per a restablir la justícia al món. Els seguidors d'aquesta branca es troben principalment a l'Iraq, l'Índia i a l'Iran, país en què l'imamisme és la religió oficial de l'Estat.
