وَمَن جَآءَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ فَكُبَّتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ فِى ٱلنَّارِ هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

Both family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; each is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. At 27:90 the passive form I places faces as the grammatical subject and the Fire as destination, depicting forced overturning into it. At 67:22 the form IV participle is circumstantial to walking and is followed by 'on his face,' depicting a persistently bent face-down posture. Voice, form IV intransitive posture, participial state, case, and destination phrase compose locally. Forced casting and continuing posture share one face-down orientation core. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
