Question: why do you use "Zahir" for Imam. Shouldnt it be Imam-e-Zamaan or Imam-e-Waqat?
well yea, by zahir imam i mean imam-e-zamaan.. zamane ka imam.. actually that's what we call our imam most of the time.. imam-e-zaman.. zahir imam is just to emphasize on the verse of the holy quran talking about imam-um-mubin..
