This article is about the defunct Ismaili sub-sect. For the Ismaili Muslim faith overall, see Ismailism.
Seveners (Template:Lang-ar) was a branch of Ismā'īlī Shīʻa. They became known as "Seveners" because they believe that Isma'il ibn Jafar was the seventh and the last Imam (hereditary leader of the Muslim community in the direct line of Ali). They believed his son, Muhammad ibn Isma'il, would return and bring about an age of justice as Mahdi. Their most famous and active branch were the Qarmatians.

| Imām | Sevener-Ismā'īlī Imām | Period |
| 1 | Ali - First Ismā'īlī Imām | (632–661) |
| 2 | Hasan ibn Ali - Second Ismā'īlī Imām | (661–669) |
| 3 | Husayn ibn Ali - Third Ismā'īlī Imām | (669–680) |
| 4 | Ali ibn Husayn Zayn al-Abidin - Fourth Ismā'īlī Imām | (680–713) |
| 5 | Muhammad al-Baqir - Fifth Ismā'īlī Imām | (713–733) |
| 6 | Ja'far al-Sadiq - Sixth Ismā'īlī Imām | (733–765) |
| 7 | Isma'il ibn Jafar - Seventh Ismā'īlī Imām | (765 - 775) |
| Mahdi | Muħammad ibn Ismā'īl al-Maktum - The promised Mahdi | (775-813) |
Sometimes "sevener" is used to refer to Ismā'īlīs overall, though several branches, such as the Nizari Ismailis, have far more than seven imams.
