Ja'fari refers to a branch of Shia Islam that follows the teachings of Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq, the sixth Imam in the Shia tradition. This school of thought emphasizes the importance of both the Quran and the teachings of the Imams, focusing on jurisprudence, theology, and ethics. The Ja'fari school is known for its distinct legal rulings and interpretations, which differ from those of the Sunni schools of thought. It plays a significant role in shaping the beliefs and practices of millions of Shia Muslims, particularly in countries like Iran and Iraq.
