هذا ذكر : دلائل و دلالات

Abstract EN

Allah the Almighty has named His Book with a number of names and described it as having a range of adjectives that show its greatness and the extent of His Abilities.

One of these names is that Allah has called it "A reminder", a term that encompasses a number of meanings and which has extensive connotations, the evidences for which are numerous.

In this research piece, I have endeavoured to shed light on this name and its wide-ranging meanings using as supporting indicative verses from the Quran itself and supporting these indications with evidences from the Quran itself, mentions additional supportive texts in the form of the speech of the scholars of exegesis.

Some of the themes explored herein include: that its [the Quran's] recitation in itself is a form of remembrance of Allah; that it is a noble reminder; that it serves as a reminder to humankind of their being and the origins of their creation; a reminder of the lessons learnt through the stories of previous and latter nations and other than this.

This is with a view to highlight the greatness of this name and the breadth of that which it indicates and, by default, the greatness of this Noble Book.

And with Allah lies success.
