- The Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims, generally known as the Ismailis, belong to the Shia branch of Islam.
- The Ismailis are a transnational community, estimated at 12-15 million individuals, who live in more than 35 different countries, mainly in Central and South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, North America and Australia.
- Due to the dispersed nature of the Ismaili community, obtaining precise population figures by country is challenging.
