First of all, ignore those other ignorant definitions. A zahir is a person, object, or thing that, once one has looked upon it or

It can be something simple such as a coin or a mummified monkey's paw, or something intangible such as an idea. It can also be a living person or an animal. So "zahir" = something which causes an irresistable obsession in a person.
