    Salaams All,

    for what its worth i doubt the ayah is talking about a book.

    Normal translation;
    159
    We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it .

    Using Q.d

    159
    We have without doubt revealed the good report/ Admonition/ Honour and status/ means of exaltation and We assuredly its guardians.

    Nearly every set of people know what leads to exaltation- yet they have the choice of following it or not, thus the Zikr( the knowledge) is preserved in every community is it not?

    I think Br. Layth did some heavy research regarding the original and the modern quran............but as yet i havent seen his conclusions- but may be i have missed them.

    Gods Blessings.

    Salam,

    Zikr means rememberance, reminder or something called to mind (or some variation thereof).

    Salam,
    Arnab

    Peace
    Zeker is the Book is the Quran. Please read the following evidences from Quran

    (&#1641

    We have, without doubt sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption). (15-9)

    Please allow me to explain the Following
    The English word ? Message?, in the privious verse, is being used to translate the Arabic word ? Al-Zekr?. In other words, God, in the previous verse, guaranteed to guard the ?Al-Zekr?.

    In The following verses the word ?Al-zekr? were used to tell us something that we should remember
    (&#1636
    (We sent them) with Clear Signs and scriptures and We have sent down unto thee (also) the Message; that thou mayest explain clearly to men what is sent for them, and that they may give thought. (16-44)

    Here Al-Zker is what The Prophet Mohamed wrote for us, so he can show us what was revealed to him, in order for us to think.

    (&#1632
    And this is a blessed Message which We have sent down will ye then reject it? (21-50)

    Here, God worn us to not disbelieve the ?Al-Zekr? content.

    (&#1641
    "He did lead me astray from the Message (of Allah) after it had come to me! Ah! the Evil One is but a traitor to man! (25-29)

    Here, God is Telling us about someone, who went astray by not following the ?Al-Zekr?.

    (&#1641
    We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for Him this is no less than a Message and a Qur'an making things clear (36-69)

    Here, God is telling us that The ?Al-Zekr? is the Al-Quran.

    (&#1633
    Those who reject the Message when it comes to them (are not hidden from Us); and indeed it is a Book of exalted power. (41-41)

    Here, God is telling us that ?El-Zekr? is ?El-Ketab? (The Book).

    My Friend, please do not let "Code 19 plot" lead you to doubt and disbelieve the Clear and Decisive verses that prove that ?El-Zker? can not be tampered with.

    Peace

      Salam,

      I read your post, but zikr means "to remember; to call to mind" what one is remembering or calling to mind is in the context of the verse or verses.

      For the record, I am not a 19-er.

        The word "Zeker" is different from "Yata-Zeker". Zeker is smething that we use to remide us. The Word Yata-Zeker is to remeber. Trust me, I'm an Arabic native. Also, the Quran Verses that I mention says so.

          We have no disagreement with the above.
          The only point is that it does not mean exclusively "book."

              Al-quran is the book
              Al-Zekr is the book
              and the book is the book

              even though there wasn't a book at the time of Mohammad, according to history, but yet again when ayah 22 was received by Mohammad the book existed according to 22.

              Remarkable or are we making a book when there was not a book?

              A book which no one can alter and yet again anyone of us can alter it if we wanted to and even though the said book has actually been altered.

              God Bless all who look for truth rather then sticking to their artificial beliefs.

              peace

                Salam,

                Again, linguistically speaking the root zikr is to remember and the root kitab is book.

                You can say that zikr is referring to book based on the context of what you are reading.

                But the root zikr does not mean book independently.

                You can say that you think that zikr is referring to book.
                You can say that you think that it is symbolic.
                You cannot say that the root word zikr means book.

                  Salam every body
                  Dear Arnab & Simple
                  The revelation that God sent to Mohamed (PBUH) has many names. Each name refers to a character of the revelation. Here are some of the names that I can recall, and the reason of such names
                  ?AlKetab? its root word is ?Katb?, which means write. Thus ?Alketab? refers to something is written, which means The Book.
                  AlQuran its root word is ?Qara?, which means read. Thus ?Alquran? refers to something that can be read.
                  Al-Huda its root word is ?Hada?, which means shows the write way. Thus, ?Al-Huda? refers to something that leads to the write path.
                  Al-Hak its root word is ?Hak?, which means the Ultimate Truth. Thus, Al-Hak refers to something that leads to the Ultimate Truth.
                  Al-Kest?? Its root word is ?Kast?, which means ?fairness?. Thus, Al-Kest refers to something that when used it will deliver fairness.
                  Hokm its root word is ?Hakm?, which means ?issuing Laws and Rules?. Thus ?Hokm Allah? refers to the Laws of Allah.
                  Al-Ziker Its Root word is ?Zaker?, which means remind. Thus, Al-Ziker refers to something that remind people when forgetting.

                  The Arabic words can look the same but means different things; example, Zaker means remind, but Zakr means remembered.

                  I hope I cleared some of the Confusion.
                  Peace

                    Salam,

                    Belalhammad as I said before we have no arguement in the word zikr meaning remind, remember or some variation thereof depending on the way the word is spelled.

                    What i am saying is one cannot say that zikr is a word that specifically means "book" or some variation thereof.

                    We can say yes, the Quran is a reminder but zikr on its own never means book.

                    I, too, know Arabic.

                    Also, I probably should have said this clearer in my posts. I sometimes use just one or two words as an English definition of the Arabic word for simple discussion purposes.

                    Especially since most of us know Arabic or are learning Arabic.

                    I do not mean that it is only the one word that is the exact translation.

                    This was only to simplify the discussion, but I see it caused confusion.

                    Just to summarize

                    The revelation that God sent to Mohamed (PBUH) has many names. Each name refers to a character of the revelation. Here are some of the names that I can recall, and the reason of such names

                    AlQuran its root word is ?Qara?, which means read. Thus ?Alquran? refers to something that can be read.
                    Al-Huda its root word is ?Hada?, which means shows the write way. Thus, ?Al-Huda? refers to something that leads to the write path.
                    Al-Hak its root word is ?Hak?, which means the Ultimate Truth. Thus, Al-Hak refers to something that leads to the Ultimate Truth.
                    Al-Kest?? Its root word is ?Kast?, which means ?fairness?. Thus, Al-Kest refers to something that when used it will deliver fairness.
                    Hokm its root word is ?Hakm?, which means ?issuing Laws and Rules?. Thus ?Hokm Allah? refers to the Laws of Allah.
                    Al-Ziker Its Root word is ?Zaker?, which means remind. Thus, Al-Ziker refers to something that remind people when forgetting.

                    The Arabic words can look the same but means different things; example, Zaker means remind, but Zakr means remembered.

                    There is no disagreement or misunderstanding of the above. Yes, it is very simple.

                    The disagreement arises when a person says that if one reads "zikr" independently and says it means "book/writing or some variation thereof."

                    For example If you read 2150

                    zikr cannot be "book." You can say you think that the reminder indicated is alluding to alkitab but you cannot say that it is alkitab
                    because the word used is zikr.

                    I respect the fact that you may disagree but I hope that at least you understand what I am trying to say.

                      Ziker, as you said does not mean The word "Book". But, as I said in my last post, God used this word, beside other words to name his book. Thus, 21-50 refers to the Book, but useing other name "Ziker".
                      I'm sure that is true 100%. Thus, 15-9 refers to the "Book", the Quran, The Kest, the Hak, the Huda.
                      Thus, the Book is guarded by God.
                      Peace

                        Okay, now we understand each other.

                        And yes I'm 100% sure that the Quran is protected.
                        There are other verses to prove this. 2-2 being the most impressive to me.

                              I told you before it is a fake Hadith;
                              but anyway there are many times people burned copies from the Quran, but there are million of other copies.
                              Relax peace

                                Salam Bahman,

                                If you are so sure that the answers you have recieved are incorrect and you believe the opposite,
                                then why do you continue to ask the question
                                (in large bold scrolling letters no less lol)?

                                    Just answer the question Yes or No.
                                    If no then tell us where is the Original?

                                        Peace

                                        I told you before it is a fake Hadith;

                                        So you mean it was not burnt . Ok great

                                        but anyway there are many times people burned copies from the Quran,

                                        You mean the copies burnt not ORIGINAL which was scribed by hand of Prophet?
                                        So where is the ORIGINAL?

                                        but there are million of other copies.

                                        Are all those million copied free of wanted or unwanted spelling and text mistakes.?
                                        How about this copy. how this one is not protected wen 128 and a129 is removed. Why is not protected?

                                        Relax

                                        I am ok 7431
                                        Peace.

                                          What of the Shiites claim that Uthmann removed 25% of the text when the variations were burned?
