الظاهر
Az-Zahir
Aliye Dhahiri
Maana
Az-Zahir ni Yule aliye Dhahiri, Anayeonekana, na Aliye Juu ya vitu vyote. Uwepo wake ni ukweli wa dhahiri zaidi katika ulimwengu — ishara za uwepo wake ziko kila mahali, katika kila kitu, zinazoonekana na yeyote anayetazama. Mpangilio wa ulimwengu, utata wa uhai, uzuri wa maumbile, dira ya kimaadili ndani ya kila roho ya mwanadamu — vyote vinaelekeza kwa dhahiri kwa Az-Zahir. Anadhihirika kupitia uumbaji wake, kupitia ishara zake, kupitia Kitabu chake, na kupitia uzoefu wa moyo. Kwa kustaajabisha, uwepo wake ni dhahiri kiasi kwamba wengi wanaupuuza, kama samaki asiyeona maji anayoogelea ndani yake. Hewa unayoivuta, mvuto unaokushikilia ardhini, nuru inayokuwezesha kuona — kila moja ni ishara dhahiri ya Az-Zahir.
Katika Quran
Surah Al-Hadid (57:3): "He is the First and the Last, the Manifest (Az-Zahir) and the Hidden, and He is, of all things, Knowing."
Tafakari ya Kila Siku
Je, unaweza kuona ishara za Allah zinazokuzunguka sasa hivi? Skrini mbele ya macho yako, hewa katika mapafu yako, mpigo wa moyo kifuani mwako — vyote ni ishara dhahiri za Az-Zahir.
