Mustaliens

The current mustalien (in Arabic : ) is a branch of Ismaili of Shiism. Mustaliens recognize the Al-Musta'lis as the ninth caliph and nineteenth Imam Fatimid and the legitimate successor of his father Al-Mustansir Billah. Conversely, Nizari (like the Aga Khan and his followers) support the older brother, Nizar.

The non-recognition of Abu al-Qasim al-Tayyib (in 1130) as 21 ^e Fatimid imam gives rise to two currents: the Tayyeb and Hafizi. The Hafiziyya did not survive the fall of the Fatimid dynasty and today only represents the current tayyebiyya Mustaliens.

The only remaining Mustaliens called for Bohras.
