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

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
