A primer on Shi`ite twelvers

"Twelver Shi’a venerate what they believe are 12 divinely ordained Imams comprising Imam Ali, cousin and son-in-law of Muhammad, and Ali’s 11 sons."   So Ali had 11 sons. He named the first: Imam no. 1, the second: Imam no. 2, etc.   (thanks Christopher)

PS Can someone capture an image of the passage before they correct it?
