Shiites Bazighiyya had the following beliefs:
They believed that the imams after Muhammad are (in chronological order):
Ali, then
Hasan ibn Ali, then
Husayn ibn Ali, then
Ali ibn Husayn Zayn al-Abidin, then
Muhammad ibn 'Ali al-Baqir
They believed that Ja'far al-Sadiq (who succeeded his father Muhammad al-Baqir) was not an imam, but God Himself.
They believed Ja'far al-Sadiq Bazighiyya Shiites control the acts of those in heaven.
They believed that God does not look like Ja'far al-Sadiq, but it simply presents itself to the people as Jafar.
They believed the Imams after Ja'far al-Sadiq, as imams before him, are not gods.
They believed that everything that is born in their heart, it was a revelation.
They believed that all Shias Bazighiyya receives revelation. To support their belief they used as evidence the words of God in the Qur'an:
"No one can die except by Allah's permission" and
"And your Lord inspired the bees" and
"Behold, I inspired the disciples to have faith in me."
They believed there are among them some that are better than the angels Gabriel and Michael, and the prophets Abraham and Muhammad.
They believed that no Shiite Bazighiyya will die. In contrast, when one of them attained perfection in his devotion, he is taken in the celestial kingdom.
They believed they saw those of them who died, and they see them in the morning and evening.
The Bazighiyya Shia (named for Bazigh ibn Yunus, to whom they were related) was a Ghulat sect of Shia Islam. Today, descendants of the followers of the sect either converted to Sunni Islam or mainstream Twelver Shia Islam
