Description

Twelver Shi'ism is the largest branch of Shia Islam, comprising about 85% of all Shia Muslims. The term Twelver refers to its adherents' belief in twelve divinely ordained leaders, known as the Twelve Imams, and their belief that the last Imam, Imam al-Mahdi, lives in occultation (ghayba) and will reappear as "the awaited Mahdi" alongside the awaited Nabi Isa, Jesus, The Messiah (Al-Masih) son of Bibi Mariam, in order to restore justice and peace.
