ABJAD VALUE1106
RECITED WITH THE INTENTION OFRecited with the intention that the truth comes to light.

Reciting a name as many times as its abjad value is a common custom; it is neither fard nor wajib. In the Dua Kitaplığı app's dhikr counter, this name comes ready with its target count.

What does Az-Zahir mean?

Zahir means the One whose existence is plainly evident. That He is not seen is not because He is far away, but because He manifests Himself everywhere: His works are so clear that His existence is never without proof. It forms a pair with the name Batin.

In the Quran: In Surah al-Hadid, verse 3, it comes after the names Awwal and Akhir.
