🔹 Let’s clarify first: What is Zahurat?
The term Zahurat comes from the Arabic root Z-H-R, meaning to appear, to manifest, to become visible. In the Ismaili understanding, it often points to:
• The manifestation of the Imam of the Time,
• Sometimes in the physical, visible form,

If you read Anant Akhado and many other Ginans, you’ll find several references to Zahurat.
In fact, there are also Farmans of our 46th, 47th, and 48th Imams that mention Zahurat—both in Ginans and Farmans—using the future tense, not the past or present.
