===Musta'ali===
{{Main|Mustaali}}
In time, the seat for one chain of Dai was split between [[India]] and [[Yemen]] as the community split several times, each recognizing a different Dai. Today, the [[Dawoodi Bohra]]s, which constitute the majority of the Mustaali Ismāʿīlī accept [[Mufaddal Saifuddin]] as the 53rd Dāʿī al-Muṭlaq. The Dawoodi Bohras are based in India, along with the [[Alavi Bohra]]. Minority groups of the [[Sulaymani]], however, exist in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. In recent years, there has been a rapprochement between the Sulaymani, Dawoodi, and Alavi Mustaali sub-sects.{{citation needed|date=May 2022}}

The [[Mustaali]] sects are the most traditional of the three main groups of Ismāʿīlī, maintaining rituals such as prayer and fasting more consistently with the practices of other Shia sects. It is often said that they resemble Sunni Islam even more than Twelvers do, though this would hold true for matters of the exterior rituals (''zahir'') only, with little bearing on doctrinal or theological differences.{{citation needed|date=May 2022}}
