ADHIKR

Dhikra—“Reminder”—mentioned in 21 places, is one of the 40 names of Adhikr. Since It is formed as a Book for the entire mankind—and the Arabic Qur’an-reading Fujjar have made their food rejecting Adhikr as told in verse 56: 82—the believers should convey It to other people belonging to the Messenger’s community, such as Jains, Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, and Christians, as explained in verses 6: 89-90. It is told in verses 56: 77-79 that this Noble Reading—Adhikr—cannot be conceived except by those who have purified themselves. See explanation 9: 28, 95, 125; and 51: 55.
