Thanks for the reply and I read that but I have question whoes imams from Ahlebet family and whose imams are not?
Twelvers claim that their imams are from ahlebetf family and ismailis imams are not,
What is your opinion?
Why Ismailis have,interest in Zahoorat? when their imams can not prove that they are from Ahlebet family.
Mr-Forget,
Legitimate Imam is a) by appointment [of previous Imam of the time] and b) by nass. In the past many have claimed to be legitimate Imam; however, history witnessed that any illegitimate claims shall not last as we can see their lineage discontinued. According to Ismaili theology and belief, presence of Imam of the Time is very essential to the well-being and Being of the universe and humanity. So, if the Imam of the Time is not present [or is ghahib], then it is not The Imam.
I believe you must be thinking that Twelvers claim their Imam is legitimate, and while Ismailis claim theirs. For that, please read this article where logical proof and arguments prove who was the Imam after Imam Jafar-i-Sadiq.

When I said Qaim [Subbat] shall be from the Ahl-e-Bayt of the Prophet, I meant from the progeny of H Ali and one of the Imam of the time. So, Ismailis are not waiting for the Qaim in the sense that Twelvers do. For Ismailis, the Qaim shall be one of the Imam of the Time [Or I should say the Last Imam of the Time].
Why this is important? Well, if you read carefully the article I posted, you will see the significance of Qiamah [Day of Resurrection] and Nigh of Power.
Which kind of prove are you looking for? a DNA test? some sort of miracle?
I hope this helps
