The Sulaymani branch of Tayyibi Isma'ilism is an Islamic community, of which around 200,000 members reside in Yemen and around 470,000 in Najran, Saudi Arabia, while a few thousand Sulaymani Bohras can be found in India. The Sulaymanis are sometimes headed by a ''Da'i al-Mutlaq'' from the Makrami family.
