'''Zaydīyya''' (Arabic: {{ia|زیدیه}}) is one of the major [[Shi'a]] branches, whose followers believe that after [[Imam Ali (a)]], [[Imam al-Hasan (a)]], and [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]], and [[Zayd b. 'Ali]], an Imam is any righteous, knowledgeable, and brave man from the descendants of [[Lady Fatima (a)]] who calls people to his own [[imamate]] and to whom people pay [[allegiance]] for uprising against unjust rulers. This sect appeared in the early 2nd/8th century. Inclination to [[Mu'tazili]] theology and being closer to Sunnis, in comparison to other Shi'a branches, are two characteristics of Zaydiyya. [[Yemen]] is currently the country with the largest Zaydi population. | '''Zaydīyya''' (Arabic: {{ia|زیدیه}}) is one of the major [[Shi'a]] branches, whose followers believe that after [[Imam Ali (a)]], [[Imam al-Hasan (a)]], and [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]], and [[Zayd b.
