Zubair Ali Zai (Urdu: زبیر علی زئی; 25 June 1957 – 10 November 2013) was a preacher, theologian, Islamic scholar of ahadith and former merchant marine from Pakistan.[1][2][3]
Life
[edit]Zubair Alizai was from the Pashtun tribe of Alizai, itself a branch of the larger Durrani confederation tracing their descent back to Ahmad Shah Durrani, founder of the Durrani Empire.
He was born in 1957 in the village of Pirdad, near Hazro in the Attock District of Punjab.
He married in 1982 and had three sons (Tahir, Abdullah and Muaz) and four daughters. In addition to his native language of Hindko and Arabic, he was also fluent in English, Urdu, Pashto and Greek, and could read and understand Persian.[4]
Career

Editing and publishing
[edit]Hafiz Zubair Alizai was, like his former teacher Rashidi, a bibliophile, having amassed a private library of some renown in Hazro, where he spent most of his time.
