يَٰبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَتِىَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَأَنِّى فَضَّلْتُكُمْ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَٰقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ ٱلطُّورَ خُذُوا۟ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَٰكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ مَا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن مَّنَعَ مَسَٰجِدَ ٱللَّهِ أَن يُذْكَرَ فِيهَا ٱسْمُهُۥ وَسَعَىٰ فِى خَرَابِهَآ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ أَن يَدْخُلُوهَآ إِلَّا خَآئِفِينَ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا خِزْىٌ وَلَهُمْ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ
يَٰبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَتِىَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَأَنِّى فَضَّلْتُكُمْ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَن تَبْتَغُوا۟ فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ فَإِذَآ أَفَضْتُم مِّنْ عَرَفَٰتٍ فَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عِندَ ٱلْمَشْعَرِ ٱلْحَرَامِ وَٱذْكُرُوهُ كَمَا هَدَىٰكُمْ وَإِن كُنتُم مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ لَمِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

Quran-internal lexical rationale
One operation across awareness and expression
Make present remains one operation across mental awareness, expression, and public presentation; morphology composes the direction and participant roles.
Make present is the invariant across 274 non-sex occurrences. A referent may be present in awareness, in expression, or before an audience. Those are domains in which the operation is realized, not replacement meanings.
The reciprocal wording of 2:152 keeps the same operation in both directions: Make Me present; I will make you present. In 6:118, God's name is made present over food through expression. In 7:201, Form V turns the operation toward oneself.
Morphology composes the differences. Form II makes something present to another, Form V makes it present to oneself, and Form VIII recovers it into presence. Nouns and participant forms package those same relations.
The sex-class noun ذَكَر is a separate exact lexeme. Its 18 occurrences are paired or contrasted with female, especially in 3:36 and 92:3. This lexical collision does not permit either meaning to be substituted into the other scope.
Where other meanings fail
remember
6:118
فَكُلُوا۟ مِمَّا ذُكِرَ ٱسْمُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِن كُنتُم بِـَٔايَٰتِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ
Alternative: eat from that over which God's name was remembered
Research rendering: eat from that over which God's name was made present
Remember confines the operation to retained mental awareness. The passive clause instead makes God's name present through expression over the food.
remind
76:1
هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْإِنسَٰنِ حِينٌ مِّنَ ٱلدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُن شَيْـًٔا مَّذْكُورًا
Alternative: a thing reminded
Research rendering: a thing made present
The passive participant has no recipient of causative reminding. It names a thing that has been made present in awareness or expression.
