lol. either he pressed "d" instead of "s", meaning he wanted to write "shirk" or he mixed up "r" and "k".

reminder, remembrance

can anybody think of other meanings?

spoken qur'aan as opposed to written; in the spoken language?
The word used for reminder is "tadhkira/ "

I meant that "dhikr" is spoken "zikr" - like when we say it with our mouths we say "zikr". P
What's the root for "Dhikr"?

Please write in the following format (example) Zay-Ka-Waw so that I can look it up on PRL.

Zikr

by Dr. Manzoor-ul-Haque

If we look into the Quran we will find that the word ?Zikr? occurs 268 times in the Quran and has 63 derivatives used in the Book, the Quran. This word ?Zikr? has many connotations in Islam. Its almost opposite is ?Nissiyane? (forgetting). This verb occurs 45 times in the Quran; and 28 of its derivatives have also been mentioned in the sacred Book.

The root of Zikr is Za-Kaf-Ra. Some of its meanings are

Az-Zikro Wattazk'aro It means

? To preserve something, to keep alive in mind; this word is used opposite to NASYUN, which means to forget (66

At tazkerato It means

To remind something which is needed (7629)
The Quran has also been called As-Zikro (1614) because it contains the history and Causes or Laws for the rise and fall of nations
Zikrun also means to remain steadfast in the battlefield and thus ensures the supremacy of Divine Laws (5145). The Divine Laws are also called Zikrullah (3923). It has also been used in the context of dignity, honour, respect, fame and saying something good (4344)
Verses (2152) says Faz Kurunee Azkur Kum -?You keep in view My Laws and I shall protect your rights and grace you with dignity and honour?
In short Zikr means

To remain steadfast in the battle field
Ponder over the secrets of nature
Take lesson from the previous history of nations
Keep in view the Divine Laws and take decisions accordingly
Propagate or give publicity to the Divine Laws
These are the steps which install peace of mind (132 and not the rotation of beads or retreating to the caves or hujras

Keep these meanings in view, study the Quran and grasp the places where this word has been used. You will understand the real perspective and get the action verbs commanding you to do the things practically.

I write "Dh" to be pronounced as "the". I do not know how it shows on PRL. It's not the same letter as in zakaat (Zay Ka Wau). It's (Dhal Kaaf Re) or Zal Ka Re
