Karya-karya beliau banyak di terjemahkan ke
dalam bahasa Indonesia, khususnya untuk mengkritik kelompok Syiah, Ahmadiyah
dan juga kelompok Sufi. Namun saya penasaran dengan Biografi lengkap beliau,
karena dalam buku-bukunya jarang di cantumkan biografi beliau secara lengkap. Dalam
media online baru ditemukan biografi beliau yang ditulis dalam Bahasa Inggris
lewat situs Wikipedia
Ehsaan Elahi Zaheer (Urdu: احسان الہی ظہیر)
was a religious scholar and leader of the Ahle Hadith Islamic movement.[1] He was born on 31 May 1945

Religious works
Zahir was in charge of the weekly editorial Ahle-Hadeeth.
Competing religious groups[who?] accused
him of murder, and he was jailed for a time.[clarification
needed] Then he began to give the weekly khutbahs in the large central mosque
in Lahore called Cheenyawaalee, people far and wide would come to listen to
him. Then he established his own editorial called Tarjumaan al-Hadeeth (Translator
of Hadith). He was engaged in da'wah (missionary) efforts around the
world and traveled to Saudi Arabia, Belgium, Holland, Sweden, Denmark, Spain,
Italy, France, Germany, England, Yugoslavia, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Korea,
Japan, Philippines, Hong Kong,
Thailand, America, China, Egypt, Yemen, Iraaq and Afghanistan to deliver
lectures.
His works include books on the Shia religion
and a book on the Barelvis, Ahmadiyya and two books on Sufism and many more. They are: al-Qaadiyaaniyyah,
ash- Shee'ah Was-Sunnah, ash-Shee'ah Wa-Ahlul-Bayt, ash-Shee'ah Wal-Qur'an,
which has over 12,000 narrations of the Shia, ash-Shee'ah wat-Tashee'ah, Baynash-Shee'ah
Wa Ahlus-Sunnah, and many more on them. A refutation book onBábism and Bahaism, a refutation of this sect, at-Tassawuff
al-Manshaa Wal-Masaadir, a refutation of the Sufis and some more,

refutation of the Barelvi, a checking of Kitaab

Hijaaz, Saqoot Dhaka and many more.
Zahir also wrote on the Christian, Jews and the Hindus, as well as on the Deobandi Hanafis, although he did write a brief refutation of
them before he died. During his final year in Medina University Imam Abdul
Aziz Ibn Baaz asked him to deliver lectures on the Ahmadiyya,
this is a very rare achievement. Then the book was printed from Medina but the
Zahir wished to include in the book "Graduate of Medina University",
before he actually graduated. So he asked Imam Ibn Baaz, who was the chancellor
at the time and he agreed to it. So Zahir asked Imam Ibn Baaz, "What if I
fail my degree?" Imam Ibn Baaz answered, "I will close the
University."

Death
Zahir died on 30 March 1987, shortly after returning to Riyaadh, as a
result of a bomb blast on the 23rd of March 1987 in Lahore whilst he was delivering a speech on the life of Mohammed.[4] Some believe Sipah-e-Sahaba
Pakistan may have been behind the killing.[5] Imam Abdul
Azeez Ibn Baaz led his funeral prayer in Riyaadh, and the
secondary prayer in the Prophet's Mosque in Medina was
attended by 30 million people. He is now buried in the graveyard of Baqi Al-Gharqad in Medina. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehsan_Ilahi_Zahir

Dan sedikit penjelasan :
Syeikh
Dr Ihsan Ilahi Zahi . Beliau bersama saudara kandungnya Dr Fadhl Ilahi
merupakan anak murid sarjana hadis terkenal Syaikh Muhammad Nasiruddin
al-Albani rahimahullah. Sesuatu yang sadis mengenai beliau ialah, beliau mati
dibom ketika menghadiri satu seminar di Pakistan. Dilaporkan 18 orang ilmuwan
yang hadir dalam majlis itu terbunuh angkara puak Syiah yang merasa terancam
dengan dakwah ahli hadis. Beliau menerima penghormatan dari Syaikh Abdul Aziz
bin Baz yang sudi mengimamkan solat jenazahnya.
