What People Usually Mean by This Name
Manifestation, the act of making evident, bringing into the open, from the Arabic root ظ-ه-ر (zahara, to appear, to become manifest; azhara, to make appear). The same root gives al-Zahir (the Manifest), one of the ninety-nine names of Allah, paired with al-Batin (the Hidden) in a single verse: 'He is the First and the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden, and He has knowledge of all things' (57:3).
Izhar is the verbal noun: the act of bringing forth what was hidden, of allowing the truth to show itself. The Quran promises that Allah will make His religion manifest: 'It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, to manifest it (li-yuzhirahu) over all religions, even though the polytheists may dislike it' (9:33).
Izhar names the man who carries that quality of manifestation, whose character is plain, whose intentions are visible, whose conduct does not require deciphering. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise' (Bukhari), and Izhar is the truthfulness that leaves nothing concealed.
