Nearness and Guidance -> Knowledge and Wisdom = Peace and Prosperity

Peace huruf,
But after giving it some thought I am sure the word indicates belonging, but a problem is that it is belonging to a group of people, i.e. those who are keeping peace, but it does not mean you can force people to have faith in God. Communion was partially right though and may still not be bad, but we need to understand its (salat) intricate meaning.
The birds, flying in formation, know their belonging. You see the magical praying birds get a better habit now.
But the word does not mean pray because that is zealous and dogmatic as in passages you are told to force people to observe salat. Obviously it means to observe the unity or belonging as we are all from the same God. And we are told to establish salat, ie unity as humans and not be in opposing groups and dividing into conjectural groups being arrogant and confused.
So there is no religion called islam, christianity or judaism and that is what God in the middle-eastern narrative wanted to convey and tell them to unite and keep together. God did not tell them to force anyone into more than ceasing oppression and mischief.
God bless you

Peace Bender,
Thanks for your support. Let us fine-tune the best definition to use for the word. As far as I have understood the commandment is to keep the belonging or community intact and devoted to God without separating into sects which always proves fatal as we have real-world examples of.
Just like the birds who keep their belonging (instinctively by lacking self-awareness) and do what they are supposed to do then we are supposed to do what we are supposed to do and we are self-aware and intelligent and guidance is already sent down. Yet people dispute about things.
And we are responsible for informing people (delivering the "message" which I interconnect with the terms as-salat al-fajr/isha, at this time. And also it seems the recitation is aimed towards someone who takes an active role in spreading the message.
I am currently in progress in translating the whole recitation so I may discover an even better translation while I correct the incorrect passages.
God bless you

While there is nothing wrong in searching for the truth and studying the scripture, there is a lot wrong with conjecture and talk without solid back up.
It is not about who supports you or agrees with you from people. It is about GOD s support. However GOD sends messengers and commands.
Yes,God Sends His Commands Through His Messengers1444
You shall warn the people of the day when the retribution comes to them. Those who transgressed will say, "Our Lord, give us one more respite. We will then respond to Your call and follow the messengers." Did you not swear in the past that you will last forever?Good luck and keep seeking GOD s support, because our ego can take many disguises including making us think we are guided?
May the Lord guide us, unite us and explain "Aquimi Salat" to those who are not sure.
GOD bless you.

Peace good logic,
While there is nothing wrong in searching for the truth and studying the scripture, there is a lot wrong with conjecture and talk without solid back up.
I am aware of the fact of bringing up something without solid backup and that is why I am working hard to show it truthfully both to myself and others. It has been a careful research verse after verse parsing and parsing of the ancient Arabic. It is not easy with a such abused discourse (abused in interpretation). I use a method of cross-checking all words and also sometimes looking on the context and see if there is something fishy about what is written there just by an overview of it. And because I have faith in God I trust The Master's guidance in finding the right interpretation. And I avoid using dictionaries unless ultimately required because I doubt them, it is risk of being a biased source just as translations are and it is why I try not to only look on translations to find the final rendition.
Anyways, bond/link/connection is in a way a correct interpretation of the base word as people have suggested and I think this is why it has been given other meanings than intended. The problem is that you need to interpret the word correctly in your mind and also find a way to fathom it in English for example and also included in the context in a way that makes sense.
It is not about who supports you or agrees with you from people. It is about GOD s support. However GOD sends messengers and commands.
Yes. God supports those who live according to the decree, judgment and command of God.
Good luck and keep seeking GOD s support, because our ego can take many disguises including making us think we are guided?
It is the least thing I would like to cause you to become misguided.
May the Lord guide us, unite us and explain "Aquimi Salat" to those who are not sure.
Yes. May the Master guide those who are worthy of knowing it.
Yes,God Sends His Commands Through His Messengers
Yes. And what exactly do you think that a messenger would preach? Take the recitation and the examples of messengers of old and not only the messenger receiving the revelation of the recitation. And I did not intend any sarcasm in this.
God bless you

Harmony be with you,
Where is my prayer, o brother Man of Faith?
Now that we know that 'salat' does not, at least directly, mean "contact prayer", and some may think that I am removing verbal/non-verbal communication with The Master from the table entirely and that is not true, so let us find actual praying in the recitation. We can start by pinpointing an example of a word that is a likely candidate where 'salat' failed miserably, because not did you think that I would advocate a faith where God is not in the center of action.
338 It was then that Zachariah implored his Lord; he said ?My Lord, grant me from You a good progeny. You are the hearer of prayer.?
Red The highlighted word is al-dua, most likely by definition the word to use for when you pray for guidance and implore God about something.
Let us make a check where the word occurs throughout the recitation. It returns in a negative context in 2171
2171 And the example of those who disbelieve oppose is like one who repeats what he has heard of calls and cries; deaf, dumb, and blind, they do not comprehend.
It is perhaps a coincidence, but it reminds me of the alleged utterance of Jesus about Pagans and "their many words", and a resemblance of the parroting of (same) phrases in sectarian prayer activity. It actually struck me quite much while checking this passage. Especially when you read the passage before that one, 2170.
2170 And if they are told ?Follow what God has sent down,? they say ?No, we will follow what we found our fathers doing!? What if their fathers did not comprehend anything and were not guided?
It interestingly sounds much like they simply use the same parroting of passages over and over again instead of really praying to God for something relevant.
Let us move on to another instance of the word in question
2186 And if My servants ask you about Me, I am near answering the calls of those who call to Me. So let them respond to Me and have faith in Me that they may be guided.
Yes indeed, this is traditional praying as intended. You can clearly see that the root means 'call' (green). The same word is used for when Zachariah "prays/calls", so you cannot deny that it ought to mean what is traditionally referred to as "prayer", and more accurately than 'salat' which does not even connote on prayer but rather the unity between those who belong to the "Unity of God", the assembly of God, or what term to use to refer to those who people. I would say that the community (ummah) that forms an assembly is an "al-bayat" (the word is not a physical building but it means the English equivalent of "assembly"!)
I will give a couple of examples from the people of Moses when they tell him to pray to God for assistance.
261 And you said ?O Moses, we will not be patient to one type of food, so call for us your Lord that He may bring forth what the earth grows of its beans, cucumbers, garlic, lentils, and onions.? He said ?Would you trade that which is lowly with that which is good?? Descend Egypt, you will have in it what you have asked for. And they were stricken with humiliation and disgrace, and they remained under the wrath of God for they were disbelieving in the revelations of God, and killing the prophets without right; this is for what they have disobeyed and transgressed.
268 They said ?Call upon your Lord for us that He may clarify which it is.? He said ?He says it is a heifer neither too old nor too young, an age between that. So now do as you are commanded.?
I will not take any more examples from the people of Moses, but there you had two, and they were so weak in faith that they asked Moses to pray on their behalf instead of strengthening their faith themselves.
2221 And do not marry the female polytheists until they believe. For a believing female servant is better than a polytheist even if she attracts you. And do not marry the male polytheists until they believe. For a believing male servant is better than a polytheist even if he attracts you. Those invite call to the Fire, while God is inviting calling to the Paradise and forgiveness by His consent. He clarifies His revelations for the people that they may remember.
The English word 'pray' does not fit the context using the same word as previously in this post, but in my world it only means that the phenomenon of referring to calls unto The Master as "praying" is a man-made invention. The English word 'pray' comes originally from Latin and could connote on 'request', i.e. to implore. It is definitely not wrong to call it to pray and the word is deeply rooted in the activity you perform when you implore God about something. The Arabic counterpart is a slightly more flexible word as it can be given different perspectives, as in 2221 above a viable translation is 'invite' although 'call' is still more accurate.
2260 And Abraham said ?My Lord, show me how you resurrect the dead.? He said ?Do you not already believe?? He said ?I do, but it is so my heart can be relieved.? He said ?Choose four birds, then cut them, then place parts of the birds on each mountain, then call them to you; they will come racing towards you. And know that God is Noble, Wise.?
And if you call/request upon someone then you need to contact something/someone, so here, to follow the pathetic traditionalism you can insert "contact call" here.... joke. Interestingly birds are involved in the "praying" as usual hmm
2282 O you who have faith, if you borrow for a future period, then you shall decree it. And let a jurist of justice decree it for you; and let not the jurist refuse to decree as God has taught him. Let him decree and let the person who is borrowing dictate to him, and let him be aware of God, and let him not reduce from it anything. If the one who is borrowing is immature or weak or he cannot dictate himself, then let his guardian dictate with justice; and bring two witnesses from among your men; if there are not two men, then a man and two women from whom you will accept their testimony, so that if one of them becomes blindsided, then the one can remind the other. And let the witnesses not refuse to come if they are called. And do not fail to decree it no matter how small or large until its maturity. That is more just with God and better for the testimony, and better that you do not have doubts; except if it is a trade to be done on the spot between you, then there is no sin upon you if you do not decree it. And have evidence if you trade. No jurist shall be harmed nor any witness; for if you do so then it is a wickedness on your part, and be aware of God and God teaches you and God is aware of all things.
Red Alternatively requested or summoned.
323 Did you not see those who were given a portion of the decree being invited called to the decree of God to judge between them, then a group of them turns away while they are adverse?
361 Whoever debates with you in this after the knowledge has come to you, then say ?Let us call/summon our children and your children, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then, let us (prophesize and) invoke and make the curse of God upon the liars.?
Blue Suggested input by me.
Let us go back to the topic of "prayers" and to call upon god(s) or things which is unknown for you. You have probably already understood that the word is indicating what is thought to be praying through the 'as-salat'.
4117 They are calling on females besides Him. Indeed, they are only calling on a persistent devil.
Red I.e. they are praying to these females and think they will make any difference for them. They call unto them for God knows what. But the important lesson here is that if you do this towards God then you pray to God, simple as that, even if the word rather means call/implore/request, but is that not the meaning of the "prayer" activity anyway?
640 Say ?We will see when the retribution of God comes to you, or the Hour comes to you, if you will still call on any other than God. If you are being truthful.?
I.e. will they "pray" to any other than God in that situation?
641 ?No, it is Him alone you will call on; and He will remove that which you called Him for, if He wills; and you will forget what you set up.?
You need to remember that the Arabic uses this word, , and it causes a conflict with the activity of which the sectarian people are doing, be it Christians or most "Muslims", as they request the words or teachings of their "beloved" ( >( ) prophet instead of the true decree and judgment and restrictions, so in reality they call (ا upon others than God through the Arabic tongue point of view, because it inclines on to request something. But as this passage says all they do is request a rebellious devil
4117 They are calling on females besides Him. Indeed, they are only calling on requesting/summoning a persistent devil.
Even if they do not actively "pray" to Muhammad, because they request his "Sunnah" they are sadly enough fulfilling the criterion of these passages which talk about calling on others because of the Arabic word's connotations.
My intention with this post was not to discuss 'mushriks' (associators) however, so let us move on with the "prayers".
663 Say ?Who rescues you from the darkness of the land and the sea?? You call (pray/request/implore) on Him in humility and in secret ?If You save us from this, we will be of the thankful!?
75 Then their only saying calling when Our punishment came to them was ?We were wicked!?
It is obviously the only kind of call they could utter while being utterly destroyed.
Here comes a passage where several of my discoveries shine with their light.
729 Say ?My Master orders justice, and that you be ones mindful of every respect-giving, and that you call on Him, while being devoted to Him in the command; as He initiated you, so you will return.?
755 Call (pray/request/implore) on your Lord in humility and in secret. He does not like the aggressors.
756 And do not corrupt the earth after it has been made right; and call on Him fearing and hoping. Surely the might of God is near the righteous.7180 And to God belong the most beautiful names, so call Him by them; and leave alone those who deviate His names. They will be punished for what they used to do.
Red So much for this "Allah" obsession, huh?
7189 He is the One who has created you from one person, and He made from it its mate to reside with. When he dwelled with her, she became pregnant with a light load, and she continued with it; then when it became heavy, they called on God, their Master ?If You give us an upright child, then we will be among the thankful.?
If you deny that these people are not praying then I do not know what it wrong with you people.
1012 And when hardship touches man, he calls upon Us on his side or sitting or standing. But when We remove his hardship from him, he carries on as if he never called upon Us for a hardship which touched him! Thus it was made to appear good to the transgressors what they had done.
On the other hand, your beloved "contact prayer" , i.e. unity (within the assembly) is another story. A salat can be any gathering, information meeting about God or any righteous activity. It could be singing praises to God or whatever you like. When people are together it is salat. A meeting in a mosque or church to celebrate God can be salat, but it does not mean pray per definition.
God bless you

Peace,
Thanks brother mmkhan. I may do so at some point.
The topic of this thread is about what makes one gain Nearness and Guidance, Knowledge and Wisdom and Peace and Prosperity and then its reader needs to know the guide clearly and not through a lot of bias.
Getting rid of invented ritualistic behavior is part of the need, if one believes that God decreed it. Personal deeds, aka rites, is another story.
But you are right. I may need to start a dedicated thread for 'salat' if I want more attention, however the attention is not what I seek. The thread is just channeling of my thinking while I work on a much bigger project. What you see in the thread is just a small part of what is going on at the moment. And I am more aware of the truth by the day.
Another reason I do not create more threads is because my research is to extensive as I am scanning the whole discourse and I am just searching for inconsistency caused by erroneous interpretation rather than lackluster literal quality. If I made many threads I would just confuse myself because I can work on one word one night and then another day I am on three different subjects at the same time.
Be good and have faith was one of my first discoveries. It is repeated many times in the narration and frequently enough to draw the conclusion that it is the foundation of serving God. I immediately begun to wonder where people got all the rituals from and strange conjecture.
I try to learn myself at this point and if I manage to get someone else to benefit from what I studied then I am happy. I will announce my discoveries more heavily in time.
God bless you

Peace,
Obsession with the name "Allah" for many Muslims. They think God's proper name is 'Allah', while God only has a name so that we can refer to The Master in some way. I think some even called God "I am that I am". God is nameless or possessing any beautiful name we wish to refer with if we must (which is handy when using our verbal capability).
I did verily not mean that obsession with 'Allah' as an entity is negative.
God bless you

Nice MoF, very nice indeed!
By the way, the sectarians always have answers to everything. In my own sunni experience, the story was always that 'dua' is a prayer you utter wherever and whenever, without special format, but the 'salat' was an obligatory prayer with a set format.
What I always found odd and crazy was that 'salat' was called prayer, because there was never any praying done in the salat. It was just the running through the prescribed sentences and motions, and then when the 'salat' was over, you did you 'dua' before getting up. That was very odd to me. The actual calling on God (as per your current needs and thoughts) was just a minor thing attached at the end of the 'salat' before you finished the whole exercise. So it is indeed weird that 'salat' is called prayer... because it includes no prayer! It only includes a scripted parroting of sentences.
And the other very odd thing was that 'salat' was always considered the important thing... the thing not to miss, the thing which gave you credits and point, the obligatory thing that gave your spiritual nourishment.... while the 'dua' (normal common requesting and thanking prayer to God) was considered less. Indeed it is odd... Much more value is placed on something mechanistic, mindless, uniform and non-productive act (salat) while the personal, intimate, tailor made, situation specific, progress seeking act (dua) is not regarded very highly at all. Ironic. But I guess it really reflects the so called "muslim" societies... where conformity is obligatory and personal growth is repressed.

Peace brother Zulf,
It was already obvious to me the first time I figured out that means more of link, bond and/or connection that something is not right with how it is perceived and it cannot mean prayer because it merely indicates a (tight) connection between two (or more) entities.
on the other hand means calling/requesting and it suits the purpose of why you perform the activity at all.
Then people invented physical moves on top of that and we already know from the past that Pagans are fans of ritualistic behavior and they feel proud over their umany (same) words. Is it 4 times pair of prostrations or is it 3? Sounds like the story of Moses' sacrificed heifer or the past narratives of restrictions that people invented.
Not wishing to ridicule prostration because it is an ancient way of greeting someone extra humbly, but I do not like when people abuse a discourse to extract a meaning not there. If you are overwhelmed by the grace of God some people fall down on their knees in reverence without a text enforcing the behavior. And there is no compulsion.
Now with some distance to the behavior I find it a bit weird to first bow down and then raise up and then go down on knees and forehead on the ground. It is two greetings in the same. A prostration is a further bow down hence the expression bow down the head to the ground.
God bless you

True,
I always pondered on the 'mechanized ritual' with fetish of 'paying attention to every details' within Sunniism.
A slight differences even to the details of 'what finger to use during the attahiyat' can cause a stir within the community.
And they often mentioned on how the 'shiite' are 'infidel' due to the 'technicality of their salat' which is somewhat difference to the Sunni.
In Sunniism everyone is obsessed with 'similarity' and 'conformity'...I then decided to 'look outside' and see who else has similar fetish as 'us'..
Christians doesn't have the same fetishes to at least equal degree..
Buddhist.. they're liberal.. you're free to meditate in any way you see fit.And then aha!!.. Rabbanical Orthodox Judaism...
Not only they share the same 'fetish' of 'the detailed technicalities of praying ritual' (what to say, where to face, the body movement etc..) they go even further to govern on what dress and motive of the shawl one should be wearing during such ritual.Besides Rabbanical Orthodox Judaism I haven't found others with at least the same degree of fetish towards 'similarity' and 'conformity' on the technicality of ritual as Islam.
Which then shaped my opinion that Islam is actually Judaism 2.0But I guess it really reflects the so called "muslim" societies... where conformity is obligatory and personal growth is repressed.
Conformity and repression of 'thinking' is something that Judaism and their proto-Judaism Tradition commonly share..

Yes, the repression of free thinking is often part and parcel of organized religion, but it is basically found everywhere. FEAR is the thing which makes people hate free thinking. Fear goes opposite of peace and unity and love. Fear rules this world, and most of religion. Sometimes it's not fear of some enemy, but instead fear of being deviant and diverge from conformity, or fear of truly exploring and searching for enhanced understanding and what that may bring about.

Peace GODSubmitter,
Yes indeed. But you need to hang on to the rope of God first for nearness and continue to purify yourself to receive guidance and once becoming better on those parameters and turning closer to God then there will also be immense knowledge and wisdom and together it means peace and prosperity.
Those who have faith and do good without giving God partners and who follow the decree and judgment will fall under the category "God guides as He wills". It is an encouragement for those who refuse to divide themselves into sects to feel that God will guide them and for sectarians not to be so full of pride.

God's command - The true one
We have noticed that there are no compulsory prayers in Islam, but the so-called praying is a spontaneous reliance upon God which comes with faith in the way of requesting and glorifying God. The servant of God is responsible him/herself for glorying God day and night.And Hajj and Umrah is something utterly different than what is traditionally implied. I have an early draft of my specific translation of involved verses and there is something else that emerges with some research into the mistreated verses.
"Hajj" and "Umrah" - What does it truly involve?
Let me show that the words "Hajj" and "Umrah" are no more than standard Arabic words and no words with magical properties part of a ritualistic behavior. It is initial confirmation of faith at the local assembly of God and not a travel of thousands of miles to get to a black cube of ancient Arabia. The translation is by far any accurate and full of errors, but something else emerges behind the guise of century long falsehood.
2196 And fulfill the joining and the accept of God, but if you have problems with following the guidance and have no clear minds until the guidance permit then whoever of you is one of preoccupied or is being false to his mind then he may redeem by fasting or honesty or a deed, then when you are faithful then whoever makes the accept and decides to join then he shall follow the guidance, but for he who cannot do this then he must fast for three days during the joining and seven when he returns; this will make a complete ten. This is for those whose family is not already of the ones who respect the restrictions and be aware of God, and know that God is severe in retribution.
Obviously the traditional interpretation did not make any sense while this one at least begin to show some sense even if I have not been able to accurately represent the Arabic discourse in all instances due to failure in understanding of what the Arabic words should be. I know the traditional interpretation, but it is to no avail because I doubt it is right whatsoever. There is no ailment to the head or illness; that is just weird and I highly doubt that it refers to illness but rather something with having a polluted soul unable to accept the guidance of God. The procedures to perform when you cannot see clearly about the guidance of God is to do things that would make God open the seal on you that you may see clearly, and doing something good or fasting or "honesty" (which I did not get a viable interpretation of, but perhaps implore God in honesty to help make a decision).
Ramadhan - What is it?
I have a partial research result so far yet important to people so I reveal it in the middle of traditional Ramadhan month
I have an experimental translation of 2183-190 as well, but I save that for a future time, however with current insight I see that it has to do with redeeming sins and shaping up from a previous lifestyle that was not so righteous. The traditional interpretations/translations are in utter chaos and it is difficult to unwind what they truly wish to say beneath all that falsehood. I know what they want to say, but I need something to present to you that you may see the light. But there are few words at all that are interpreted as they should. But I can say that verse numbering plays a big role in misrepresenting the passages and sentences are cut in half pretty often. See2183-184 O you who have faith, fasting has been decreed for you as it was decreed for those before you, perhaps you may be righteous a few number of days.
The order of the words in a translation obviously play a big role in how the passage is understood and it likely means that fasting is used to redeem for sins that you may become righteous after some days of fasting.
And here comes the mighty falsehood which I only have an experimental translation of so far
2183-184 ...perhaps you may be righteous a few number of days whoever of you is polluted or drifting, then the same number from different days then a comparable number of days...
Green I suspect that the phrase is supposed to continue after . Faman is supposed to be part of the previous phrase and not to form a new clause. is just a relative pronoun for third person, probably referred to as one/ones or he/she/it.
Red The word does seem to mean a comparison which may be a reason why the word is just with ayum akhar. It is like matching the sins to how long to perform the fasting.
Blue Merely experimental interpretation, but I did not take them so far from the traditional meaning however made them more sensible.2184 ...and on those who can afford it ransoming by feeding poor ones and who volunteers for good then it is better for him...
2184-185 ...and to abstain is better for you if you understand month of Ramadhan the recitation was revealed wherein is a guidance for the people and signs of the guidance and the distinction for whoever of you is polluted or drifting among you is observant of that information this month should abstain a comparable number of days...
Red Obviously I have a problem with this phrase, but the message is still coming forth.
2185-187 ...and God intends ease and not difficulty that you may complete the number and magnify God that you were guided and that may become grateful and when my servants ask about me I am indeed near responding to the request of the caller who calls me so let them respond to me and with faith in me that they be observant of what is permitted for you...
Green Notice that I think that the subsequent phrase in 2187 belongs to the previous passage and not to form a new clause.
2187 during the night of fasting to approach your women sexually. They are a garment for you and you are a garment for them.
I leave these phrases untranslated at this moment, but they just represent a misogynist men "religion" as if men during a fasting would even think of having sex while exhausted of the day in fasting. I think they refer to the purification achieved by the fasting however and it seems to be highly related to 2188 (!)
2188 And do not consume your money between you unjustly by bribing the decision makers so that you may consume a part of the money of other people sinfully while you know!
2187 ...and seek what God decreed for you...
Refers to the reformation after cleansing yourself and repenting to God.
Not yet finished translation but I paste it out anyway
2187-188 ...and while you are ones who respect the limitations of God do not commit them hence God makes signs clear that they may do right and do not err yourselves by consuming each other's properties and present it to the judge so that you may consume a part of the properties of the people while knowing.
I strongly think that the 188 is related to the previous phrase of having repented by fasting and not to repeat your mistakes and follow the decree and judgment of God.
Blue I consider this translation faulty, but I could not yet translate it.
I end this by just pasting another last experimental translation of 2189 which speaks of joining the assembly of God.
2189 They ask you about "the new moons", say "They show the periods for the people and for the joining and it is not right to enter the assembly backwards but the righteous who are aware of God and come to the assembly through the front and are aware of God that you may become successful and fight those who fight you to the way of God and do not transgress because God does not like ones who transgress.
Blue I have doubts that these refer to what they traditionally are thought to meant, but I have no alternative at this time so I leave them untouched.Important is that is speaks about closing in on God and joining the assembly of God, seeking God's Nearness and Guidance.
Remember or regard God?
Let me show you that God does not regard you as a fool who forget God the next minute
Dhekr (ُ is traditionally thought to mean remember, but when used the same in all instances of the recitation it feels as if God thinks you are a fool who cannot remember God for even a few minutes.
240 O Children of Israel, remember regard My blessings that I had blessed you with, and fulfill your pledge to Me that I may fulfill My pledge to you, and reverence Me alone.
263 And We took your covenant, and raised the mount above you ?Take what We have given you with strength, and remember regard what is in it that you may be righteous.?
2152 So remember regard Me that I may remember regard you, and be thankful to Me and do not oppose.
Red Do you really think that God would forget about you no matter which path you choose? No it talks about regarding God that God will regard/care for you.
2198 There is no sin upon you to seek goodness from your Master. So when you disperse from the elevated place, then regard God at the symbol which is restricted, and regard Him as He has guided you; for you were straying before that.
HEY! I saw a cutting of a passage again. Look at this
2197 ...O you who possess intelligence,
2198 ...there is no sin upon you to seek goodness from your Lord. So when you disperse from the elevated place, then remember regard God at the symbol which is restricted (?), and remember regard Him as He has guided you; for you were straying before that.2200 When you have completed your rites deeds, then remember regard God as you remember regard your fathers or even greater. From among the people is he who says ?Our Master, give us from this world!? But in the Hereafter he has no part.
2203 And remember regard God during a number of days. Whoever hurries to two days, there is no sin upon him; and whoever delays, there is no sin upon him if he is being righteous. And be aware of God, and know that it is to Him that you will be gathered.
Obviously it talks about doing deeds which is a way of showing regard for God.
2221 And do not marry the female associators until they have faith. For a faithful female servant is better than an associator even if she attracts you. And do not marry the male associators until they have faith. For a faithful male servant is better than an associator even if he attracts you. Those call to the Fire, while God is calling to the Paradise and forgiveness by His consent. He clarifies His revelations for the people that they may remember regard (them).
2231 And if you have divorced the women, and they have reached their required interim period, then either you remain together equitably, or part ways equitably. And do not reconcile with them so you can harm them out of animosity; whoever does so is doing wrong to his soul; and do not take the revelations of God as mockery. And remember regard the blessings of God upon you, and what was sent down to you of the decree and the judgment, He warns you with it. And be aware of God and know that God is knowledgeable of all things.
Regard means that you are heedful and aware of the things that God does for you. In a previous passage I pasted about your fathers it means the same about being appreciative for all the hardship your parents went through in taking care of you whilst you were growing up.
2238 Maintain the unities and the best unity and assist God dutifully.
2239 But if you are thinking, then you may do so while walking or riding (?). If you become faithful, then remember regard God as He has taught you what you did not know.2269-270 He grants judgment to whom He chooses, and whoever is granted judgment has been given much good. Only those who possess intelligence will remember care and whatever you spend out of your monies, or whatever you pledge as a promise, then God knows it. The wicked have no supporters.
Green In English regard/heed did not suit the context while care follows the base word's same meaning. And the subsequent clause is part of the same paragraph, further hint that the verse numbering is an invention causing further difficulty in interpreting the scripture and can thus not be written by the person who composed the narrative and recitation.
And same here (care)
37 He is the One who sent down to you the decree, from which there are lawgiving revelations; they are the essence of the decree; and others which are of a similitude. As for those who have a disease in their hearts, they will follow that which is of a similitude, seeking to confuse, and seeking to derive an interpretation. But none know its interpretation except God and those who are well founded in knowledge; they say ?We have faith in it, all is from our Master.? And none will remember care except those who possess intelligence.
341 He said ?My Master, make for me a sign.? He said ?Your sign is not to speak to the people for three days except by symbol, and remember regard your Lord greatly, and glorify at dusk and dawn.?
Skipping certain verses which do not say anything more than I already said.
3134-135 The ones who spend in prosperity and hardship, and who repress anger, and who pardon the people; God loves the good doers and those who if they commit lewdness, or wrong themselves, they remember regard God and seek forgiveness for their sins. And who can forgive the sins except God? And they do not persist in what they have done while they know.
4142 The hypocrites seek to deceive God, while He is deceiving them; and if they stand to make the contact prayer, they do so lazily, only to show the people; they do not remember care about/regard God except very little.
57 And remember regard the blessings of God over you and His covenant that He has bound you with, for which you have said ?We hear and obey,? and be aware of God; for God knows what is in the chests.
591 The devil only wants to cause strife between you through alcohol and gambling, and to repel you away from remembering regarding God and from the unity. Will you be deterred?
680 And his people debated with him. He said ?Do you debate with me regarding God, when He has guided me? I do not fear that which you have set up except if my Master wills; my Lord encompasses all things in knowledge; will you not remember care??
6126 And this is the straight path of your Master. We have fully detailed the revelations to a people who remember care.
6152 ?And do not come near the money of the orphan, except for what is best, until he reaches his independence; and give honestly full measure and weight equitably. We do not burden a soul except with what it can bear, and if you speak then be just even if against a relative; and regarding the pledges made to God, you shall observe them. This He has enjoined you that you may remember heed (it).?
73 Follow what was sent down to you from your Lord, and do not follow besides Him any supporters. Little do you remember care!

11111-112 And to each your Lord will recompense their works. He is expert in what they do so stand straight as you were commanded, and those who have repented with you, and do not transgress. He is Seer over what you do.
11113 And do not lean towards those who have wronged else you will incur the Fire; and you will not have besides God any allies, and you will not be victorious.
11114 And hold the communion/union/unity at a part of the day, and the near part of the night. The good deeds take away the bad. This is a reminder regard to those who remember pay attention.
11115 And be patient, for God does not waste the reward of the good doers.You need to see that the red highlighted text is part of keeping the union/unity as dividing into sects is opposite to keeping the unity of the assembly of God. Salat is a kind of practice at the same time as being the union between ones with faith.
1245 And the one of them who had been saved and remembered after all this time said ?I will tell you of its interpretation, so let me be sent.?
Important to notice is that the word dhekr is not in that passage.
1285 They said ?By God, you will never cease to remember care about Joseph until you become senile or become dead!?
1319 Is he who knows that the truth has been sent down to you from your Lord like he who is blind? Only those who possess intelligence will remember pay attention.
1328 The ones who had faith, and their hearts are relieved by the remembrance regard of God; for in the remembrance regard of God the hearts are relieved.

1613 And what He has placed for you on the earth in various colors. In that are signs for a people who remember pay attention.1617 Is He who creates the same he who does not create? Will you not pay attention?

1828 And have patience upon yourself regarding those who call on their Lord at dawn and dusk seeking His face, and let not your eyes overlook them that you seek the beauty of this worldly life. And do not obey he whom We have made his heart heedless of Our remembrance regard and he followed his desire, and his fate was lost.

20124 ?And whoever turns away from My remembrance sake, then he will have a miserable life, and We will raise him blind on the Day of Resurrection.?
2110 We have sent down to you a decree in which is your remembrance regard. Do you not comprehend?
Pay careful attention to the fact that the passage becomes nonsensical by adhering to remember/reminder/remembrance here.
2136 And when those who oppose see you, they take you for mockery ?Is this the one who speaks about your gods!? While in the remembrance regard of the Almighty they are opponents!
Here you have the absolute killer for the delusion of dhekr as reminder. The Arabic language in the passage cannot be misunderstood in this case (bi-dhekri alrahmani).
2142 Say ?Who can protect you during the night and the day from the Almighty?? No, they are turning away from the remembrance regard of their Lord.
21105 And We have written in the Psalms ?After the sake, that the earth will be inherited by My servants who do good.?
I am too tired to really find the optimal translation here.
2383 ?We, as well as our fathers, have been promised this from before. This is nothing except fictional tales of old!?
2384 Say ?To whom is the earth and whoever is in it if you know??
2385 They will say ?To God.? Say ?Will you then not remember pay attention!?
2386 Say ?Who is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of the great Throne??
2387 They will say ?To God.? Say ?Will you then not be aware??Well, it seems as if their ancestors did not have the right faith either and then reminder in 2385 seems like a bit contradiction.
23110 But you mocked them, so much so that they made you forget My remembrance regard, and you used to laugh at them.
241 A chapter which We have sent down and imposed, and We have sent down in it clear revelations that you may remember pay attention.

2429 There is no sin upon you that you enter assemblies which are abandoned if in them there are belongings of yours. And God knows what you reveal and what you hold back.2437 By men not distracted by trade or sale from the remembrance regard of God and holding the union, and contributing towards purification. They fear a Day when the hearts and sight will be overturned.
2547 And He is the One who made for you the night as a cover, and sleep for resting, and He made the day to move about in.

2550 And We have distributed it among them so that they may remember pay attention, but most of the people refuse to be anything but opponents.
2551 And if We wish, We could send to every town a warner.26227 Except for those who have faith, and do good works, and remember regard God greatly, and were victorious after they were wronged. As for those who did wrong, they will know which fate they will meet.

399 Is one better who is dutiful during the night, respectfully and with dedication, fearing thinking of the Hereafter, and seeking the might of his Master? Say ?Are those who know equal to those who do not know?? Only those who possess intelligence will remember pay attention.
3922 If God comforts the chest of a person to harmony, then he will be on a light from his Master. So woe to those whose hearts are hardened against remembering regarding God. They have gone far astray.
4044 ?You will come to remember notice what I am telling you, and I leave my affair in this matter to God; for God is the Seer of the servants.?
