2:186

وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِى عَنِّى فَإِنِّى قَرِيبٌ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ ٱلدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لِى وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِى لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal comparison across all 19 family occurrences supports sound direction as the shared core. The finite verb profiles becoming rightly directed; the action nouns name a sound path, goal, or outcome; the orphan clause applies the core to competent property judgment; Abraham's granted رشد profiles sound discernment; رشيد and راشد profile persons or commands characterized by such direction; مرشد profiles one who causes it. The rhetorical force at 11:87 remains reviewable. No protected or pre-run meaning was edited, and no exact segment set forces a lexical collision.
