Although there have been several Shia branches throughout history, today's Shia Islam is divided into three main branches. The largest Shiite sect at the beginning of the twenty-first century is the Itna Ash'ari (which make up approximately 85% of all Shiite Muslims in the world), which in our country is called duodecimal (twelve), while smaller branches include the Ismailis (10% of all Shiites) and Zaydis (3.5% of Shiites) who challenge the duodecimal line of imams and their beliefs. Duodecimals make up the majority of the population in Iran (90%), Azerbaijan (85%), Bahrain (70%), Lebanon (65% Muslim) and Iraq (65%). The Zaydis make up a large percentage of the population in Yemen (45%). Other countries with a significant percentage of Shiites are Syria (15%), Kuwait (35%), Pakistan (33%), India (23% of all Muslims in India), Afghanistan (19%), Saudi Arabia (18%), Turkey (25%), United Arab Emirates (16%), Qatar (15%), Albania (25%) Although there were several Shia branches through history, nowadays Shia Islamis divided into three main branches.

Twelvers constitute the majority of the population in Iran (90%), Azerbaijan (85%), Bahrain (70%), Lebanon (65% of Muslims) and Iraq (65%). Zaidiyyah constitute a considerable portion of Yemen (45%).
