This box: view • talk • edit | - This is a sub-article to Imamah (Shi'a doctrine).
The Ismaili view on the Imamah differs from the Twelver Shi'a as well as Sunni views, in particular because the Imam in Ismailism is the Face of Allah. Ismailis believe that the Noor of Allah is present in the Imam, and that there is only a Zahiri (exoteric) difference between each one. Therefore Ali and every Imam are one in essence. This article is about the Shia concept, for the more general Islamic term, see Imam. ...

Like other Shi'ites the Ismailis reserve the position of Imam for descendants of ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib, though they reserve a special status to Ali himself. For other uses, see Ali (disambiguation). ...
Ismailis consider Walayah ("love and devotion") for God, the Prophets, the Imam and the dai among their Seven Pillars of the faith. This is about the pillar of Islam, for the historical view, see Imamah (Shia Ismaili doctrine) Guardianship (Arabic: , Walayah) is an Ismaili and Druze pillar of Islam denoting: love and devotion for God, the Prophets, the Imam and the dai. ...
Shia Ismaili Seven Pillars of Islam have three doctrines that are not included in the Sunni Five Pillars of Islam: Walayah, Taharah and Jihad. ...
According to Ismailis, externally the Imam is a pure personality and internally a light. Externally, the Qur'an is the holy Book and internally (in the Imam) it is a light. This shows that externally Ali and the Qur'ân are separate from each other, but internally they are not only together, they are one light.[1]
Succession The Ismailis split with the Twelvers over the succession to the Imam Jafar al-Sadiq. Jafar had designated his son Ismāʿīl as his heir, but Ismail predeceased his father. Ismailis consider the designation as binding and that the Imamah should pass through Ismail to his descendants rather than to his brothers. Thefore, Ismailis consider Muhammad ibn Ismail the rightful Imam. In contrast to this, the Twelvers eventually settled for Ismail's brother Musa. ...
Ismail bin Jafar (Arabic: إسماعيل بن جعÙر) was the eldest son of the sixth Shia Imam, Jafar as-Sadiq. ...
Imam Musa al Kazim (November 10, 745 - September 4, 799) was the seventh Shia Imam (he is not accepted by the Ismailis as the seventh Imam). ...
In this context, Ismailis have set up the principle that, with the one exception of the first two Imams Hasan and Ḥusayn, the Imamah can only proceed from the current Imam to a male descendant and to a sibling, a view later adopted by Twelver Shia. Hassan ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib ()‎ (Fifteenth of Ramadan, 3 AH – Twenty-eighth of Safar, 50 AH) [6] was the grandson of Muhammad, and was the son of Ali ibn Abi Talib (the first Shi’ah Imam and the fourth Sunni Caliph) and Fatima Zahra (a daughter of Muhammad). ...

Twelvers or the Ithna Asharia (Arabic اثنا عشرية) are members of the group of Shia Islam who believe in twelve Imams. ...
Position of the Imam Old Ismaili doctrine holds that divine revelation had been given in six periods (daur) entrusted to six prophets, whom they also call Natiq (Speaker), who were commissioned to preach a religion of law to their respective communities.
Whereas the Natiq was concerned with the rites and outward shape of religion, the inner meaning is entrusted to a Wasi (Representative). The Wasi would know the secret meaning of all rites and rules and wiuld reveal them to a small circles of initiates.
The Natiq and the Wasi are in turn succeeded by a line of seven Imams, who would guard what they received. The seventh and last Imam in any period would in turn be the Natiq of the next period. The last Imam of the sixth period however would not bring about a new religion of law but supersede all previous religions, abrogate the law and introduce din Adama al-awwal ("the original religion of Adam") practised by Adam and the Angels in paradise before the fall, which would be without cult or law but consist merely in all creatures praising the creator and recognizing his unity. This final stage was called Qiyamah.[2] Michelangelos The Creation of Adam, a fresco on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, shows God creating Adam, with Eve in His arm. ...

Originally, Ismailis considered Muhammad ibn Ismail, as the last Imam who had gone into occultation and would return as the Mahdi and Qa'im. However, throughout history the identification of the Imam has undergone many transformations, as can be seen in the List of Ismaili Imams.
