Twelver or Imami Sh ism is the largest branch of Sh (Shi'a) Islam. An adherent of Twelver Sh ism is most commonly referred to as a Twelver, which is derived from their belief in twelve divinely ordained leaders, known as the Twelve Im ms. Approximately 85% of Sh a are Twelvers, representing the largest branch of the Sh a, and the term Shi'a Muslim as commonly used in English usually refers to Twelver Sh a Muslims only. Twelvers share many tenets of Sh ism with related sects, such as the belief in Im ms, but the Ism l and Zayd Sh sects each believe in a different number of Im ms and for the most part, a different path of succession regarding the Im mate. They also differ in the role and overall definition of an Im m. The Twelver faith is predominantly found in Iran (90%), Azerbaijan (85%), Bahrain (80%), Iraq (65%), Lebanon (35%), and Kuwait (35%). It also forms a large minority in Pakistan (20%), Afghanistan (15%) and Saudi Arabia (10 15%).
