Description
Summary:The words zekr is one of the words used in Quran in both its literal and technical <br /> meanings. It is employed in its technical meaning when used with the concept of <br /> revelation and descending. The exegetes' interpretation of this word clearly manifest <br /> their diversity about its meaning calling it- an attribute or a name for Quran <br /> sometimes and denoting it to other Scriptures, especially Torah at other times. <br /> Meanwhile according to Quranic verses, the revelation of zekr for other prophets <br /> except that of Islam is not proved. in addition, identifiying zekr as Quran needs <br /> further detection as it seems unacceptable to consider both Quran and zekr referring <br /> to one actual denotation. Furthermore, employing the word zekr with different <br /> concepts is no reason for considering all those concepts identical. It maybe <br /> suggested that zckr is a referent for non Quranic revelation.
