18:58

وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ذُو ٱلرَّحْمَةِ لَوْ يُؤَاخِذُهُم بِمَا كَسَبُوا۟ لَعَجَّلَ لَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ بَل لَّهُم مَّوْعِدٌ لَّن يَجِدُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦ مَوْئِلًا

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of the place noun مَوْئِل at 18:58. Although God delays punishment in mercy, the wrongdoers have an appointed time beyond which they will find no such place. The finding verb, مِن دُونِهِ relation, and unavoidable punishment appointment establish a refuge or place of escape to which one turns for protection. The target is indefinite masculine accusative singular under the comprehensive negation. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
