Ibrahimiyya

Ibrahimiyya (Arabic: الإبراهيمية; Turkish: İbrahimiyye) was a Ghulat sect of Shia Islam in Iraq. Ibrahimiyya was made up of Iraqi Turkmen around Talafar. It emerged when the Safavids first captured Iraq, and it dissolved in the 1920s after its adherents gradually converted to mainstream Twelver Shia Islam.
