Par ailleurs, il est historien et théologien acharite. Il est connu pour ses dures critiques du wahhabisme, étant l'un de leurs principaux adversaires[6], et sa reconnaissance des principes soufis[7]. En tant que dirigeant de la faction conservatrice des chaféites, il revêt une importance particulière en Asie, où son influence s'accroît après sa mort grâce à ses nombreux disciples[8].

« The Meccan scholar Ahmad ibn Zayni Dahlan was born in 1817. Around 1848 he became a teacher at the Great Mosque and in 1871 he was appointed Shaykh al-‘Ulama’or Grand Mufti. »
« Ahmad ibn Zayni Dahlan, the Shafi'i Mufti of Mecca, appears in at least two
managib in this book. He is often mentioned because he seemed to be (during the last third of the nineteenth century) a kind of chef d’ecole for conservative Shafi’is and those opposed to the ideas of Ibn Taymiya and the Wahhabis or neo-Wahhabis at the time. This antiradical personality was the author of a history of Mecca, and a book refuting Wahhabism and Wahhabi ideas, the Durar al-Saniya fil-Radd ‘ala’l-Wahhabiya, a book still banned in Saudi Arabia because of its vituperative polemic attacks and cutting criticism of the Wahhabis. Dahlan was also on the side of those who used saintly mediation in prayer, like Zayla’i,
Shaykh Uways, Hajj Sufi, and a majority of Muslim conservatives of this time and
later. »
