43:33

وَلَوْلَآ أَن يَكُونَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً لَّجَعَلْنَا لِمَن يَكْفُرُ بِٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ لِبُيُوتِهِمْ سُقُفًا مِّن فِضَّةٍ وَمَعَارِجَ عَلَيْهَا يَظْهَرُونَ

70:3

مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِى ٱلْمَعَارِجِ

Why this meaning was chosen

All nine family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Five imperfect Form-I verbs predicate upward movement into or through heaven or toward God. Two plural مَعَارِج nouns denote structures or routes by which ascent occurs. Two substantivized أَعْرَج forms denote a person with a walking impairment in exemption lists. Person, number, gender, prepositional goal, number, case, and construct status compose within the ascent sets. Quran-internal substitution fails for the last set: the person placed with the blind and ill under an exemption cannot denote upward motion or an ascent route, while the routes mounted in 43:33 cannot denote that exempted person. The mobility-impaired-person set is therefore a lexical-collision branch. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
