Ismaili

The ismaili sect of Islam is a subset of the Shia sect. However Shias believe in the 12-descendant line of Imams beginning with Hazrat Ali[?], cousin of Prophet Muhammad, and the Ismailis have faith in 6 Imams.

Modern spiritual leader of the Ismaili sect is the Agha Khan[?], who traces his ancestry from the 6th Imam.
