Zaidism
Zaydism (), also referred to as '''Fiver Shi'ism''', is a branch of Shia Islam that emerged in the eighth century following Zayd ibn Ali's unsuccessful rebellion against the Umayyad Caliphate. Zaydism is one of the three main branches of Shi'ism, the other two being Twelverism and Ismailism.

Jarudiyya
Jarudiyya (, ), also known as Jarudism, is among the first branches of Zaydi Islam, attributed to Abu'l-Jarud al-Hamdani. Among the theorists of the Jarudiyya are Fadl ibn Zubayr al-Rasani, Mansur ibn Abi al-Aswad, and Harun ibn Saad al-Ajli. Abu Khalid al-Wasiti is another prominent figure in this school. Jarudi beliefs include accepting Zayd ibn Ali as Imam, Ali's authority over other companions of Muhammad, and the necessity of rising against a tyrant.
