3. Twelver Shiism
Twelver Shiism is followed by Twelver Shiites. They are followers of the 12 Imams (the people who lead prayers in mosques) who they believe are the rightful successors of The Prophet. This line of Imams begin with Ali ibn Ali Talib, the cousin of Prophet Mouhammad. The Twelvers were part of the Safavid Dynasty which was established in the sixteenth century, and the Qajar Dynasty in the eighteenth century.
