Ismailis are Shi'a Muslims who claim that Ismail, the eldest son of Imam Ja‘far al-Sadiq, was the rightful seventh Imam (hence the Western reference to them as "Seveners"). Shia "Twelvers"/"Ithnasheris", those who accept the first Twelve Imams, believe that Ja'far al-Sadiq, passed over Ismail, in favor of his brother Musa al Kazim.
