First of all, ignore those other ignorant definitions. A zahir is a person, object, or thing that, once one has looked upon it or
considered it for but a single moment, becomes an obsession which slowly takes over a person's life completely. 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.
