Ali caliphae)"), sive Islam Siiticum, etiam Siismus appellata, est altera fidei Islamicae ramus^(en), post Sunniticam. Quam inter 130000000 et 190000000 circiter Musulmanorum terrae sequuntur; quod omnium circa 15 centesimas est. Regio quam incolunt aliquando "luna Siitica" appellatur.

Siitae docent Ali filium Abu Talib, generum Machometi, eo successum esse ut primum Musulmanorum imamum, negantque tres primos caliphas Sunniticos, scilicet Abubacer et Omar et Osmanum, secundum leges fuisse. Nulla historia maioris Siitis erat momenti quam martyrium Husaini filii AlisQuiddam verbum temporale hic abest., qui anno 680 apud oppidum Carbalam Iraquensem cecidit, cum contra Sunnitas dimicaret.

Tres praecipuae sunt sectae Siiticae scholae.

Multo pauciores sunt Siitae septenarii sive Ismaelitae, qui in Pakistania, India, Syria, Afgania habitant. Postremo quintarii sive Zaiditae enumerarentur, qui Iemeniam septentrionalem incolunt.
