Most Shia are Twelvers (Isna Asharai) and they recognize twelve Imams.
Ali ibn Abu Talib (600–661), also known as Ali, Amir al-Mo'mineen (commander of the faithful), also know as Shah-e Mardan Ali (King of men)
Hasan ibn Ali (625–669), also known as Hasan al Mujtaba
Husayn ibn Ali (626–680), also known as Husayn al Shaheed, also known as Sah Hüseyin
Ali ibn Husayn (658–713), also known as Ali Zainul Abideen
Muhammad ibn Ali (676–743), also known as Muhammad al Baqir
Jafar ibn Muhammad (703–765), also known as Jafar as Sadiq
Musa ibn Jafar (745–799), also known as Musa al Kazim
Ali ibn Musa (765–818), also known as Ali ar Ridha
Muhammad ibn Ali (810–835), also known as Muhammad al Jawad (Muhammad at Taqi), also known as Taki
Ali ibn Muhamad (827–868), also known as Ali al-Hadi, also known as Naki
Hasan ibn Ali (846–874), also known as Hasan al Askari
Muhammad ibn Hasan (868–?), also known as Hojjat ibn al Hasan
There are a few groups of Ismaili Shia, which include Nizari Ismailis, Dawoodi Bohras, Alavi Bohras, and the Seveners. Nizaris are small in numbers, though they are the biggest non-Twelver Shia group. They accept Jafar as Sadiq's eldest son Ismail as the next Imam. Seveners do not recognize any further of the Twelvers' Imams beyond Jafar. The only major non-Twelver and non-Ismaili group are Zaidis.
