With the declaration of the Twelfth Imam's Major Occultation in 939 CE, the Imamites (Twelvers) reinforced their position of political quietism; the Hidden Imam would return as the Mahdi at a future point in time that was "known only to him and God" With this doctrine, the Twelver Shi'a also distanced themselves from the activist and revolutionary agenda of the Sevener Isma'iliyya that held attractions for many of the Shi'i faithful at the time.

The various rebellions staged by this group are briefly chronicled by Jawzi, culminating in the protest movements of the ninth century (regarded by Jawzi as socialist revolutionary) of Babak al-Khurrami, of the Ismaiciliyya (whose adherents are still with us), and of the Qaramita, a subsect of the Ismaiclis (the last two factions, it should be pointed out, were Sevener Shici).

The Top 13 consists of eight public vote nominees, Rod Stokes of Team Kelly Clarkson, Maelyn Jamon and Shawn Sounds of Team John Legend, Andrew Sevener, Gyth Ridgon, Carter Lloyd Home, Kim Cherry, and Dexter Roberts of Team Blake Shelton.

As one consequence of this, Shiism itself became separated into different branches--including, for instance, Sevener Shiism, which is also known as Isma'ilism.

The most important split, historically speaking, was that of the Sevener or Isma'ili Shi'a.

The smallest Muslim communities were the Alawites and the Ismaili ("Sevener") Shi'a order.

The smallest Muslim minorities are the Alawites and the Ismaili ("Sevener") Shi'a order.

Both the Parsis and the Khojas (Seveners or Twelvers) were the most anglicized communities of the time, but at the time of this marriage they were most conservative.

Northeastern provinces have a substantial population of Isma'ilis, a Shiite Muslim sect often called "Seveners" (believers in the Seventh Imam as the true Imam).

Other branches include Ismailis, or Seveners, who believe in the first seven imams, and the Druze, who are secretive about their religious practices, like Alawites.

Not considered except in passing are the Zaydi Shia of Yemen, the Ismaili Shia (or "Seveners"), admittedly found mostly outside the Arab world, their surviving offshoot the Druze, and the vaguely related Alawite minority of Syria.

In history the Ismailis have been called by various names such as, Batinis, Qaramita, Sab'in (Seveners), Fatimids and Nizaris etc.
