77:25

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ كِفَاتًا

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of كِفَات at 77:25. God asks whether He made the earth this, and the following ayah specifies the living and the dead as its encompassed classes. The earth as result object and the inclusive living-dead continuation establish a containing gathering place across life and burial. The target is indefinite masculine accusative singular, annotated as a Form III verbal noun and functioning as the second object of نَجْعَلِ. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
