Family table of the Shiite imams

The family table of the Shiite imams contains all religious "heads" ( imām ) of those Shiite religious communities of Islam , in which the dynastic inheritance of the dignified and indivisible charism ( baraka ) , that through the marriage of Ali with the daughter of the Prophet Mohammed is carried on, represents a central element of the doctrine of the faith. This concerns the two large Shiite communities of the "Twelve" and the Ismailis . The only exception to this is the Zaidite imamate , who is not hereditary among them and who only require an Alidian descent to achieve this dignity .
