Tayyibites

The Tayyibites (aṭ-Ṭayyibiyya) are one of the two branches of the Mustaʿlītes alongside the Hafizites .

The Bohras in South Asia, including the Dawudi Bohras or Dawudites (Dawudiyya), for example, are followers of a sub-branch of the Tayyibi Ismailites.

After the death of the twentieth imam of Musta'li-Ismailis, the Fatimids - Caliph al-Aamir , the official Musta'li-Da'wa recognized in Cairo , along with the majority of Musta'li-Ismaili in Egypt and Syria and some Musta'līten in Yemen , al-Hafiz , the cousin of al-Āmir , as the next Imam-Caliph, and not Tayyib Abi l-Qasim .

A new period of secrecy begins for the Ismaili Tayyibites after the assassination of the Fatimid 20th Imam and Caliph of Cairo al-Amir in 1130. This period of secrecy (called Satr) is not yet over. The last imam is Abu al-Qasim at-Tayyib .

The majority of the Mustaʿlis believed that at-Tayyib had disappeared, but that he was in a concealment like the Mahdi , as the Ismailis originally believed of Muhammad ibn Ismail .

Today's Mustaʿlītes are all Tayyibites .

The Mustaʿlites on the Indian subcontinent are known as Bohras. Over time, the Tayyibites split into Da'udi , Sulaymani, and ʿAlavi branches.
