Alternative: part of the disbelievers is cut off or suppressed, so they turn back successful

Research rendering: part of the disbelievers is cut off or suppressed, so they turn back frustrated

The causal sequence removes or suppresses their force and reverses their aim, so success contradicts the outcome.

20:61

Alternative: whoever fabricates has turned back

Research rendering: whoever fabricates has failed

The fabrication clause contains no motion or return point; it assigns unsuccessful outcome to the fabricator.

20:111

The clause states the person's failed outcome before God but supplies no cognition or emotion.

91:10

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا

Alternative: the one who corrupts it was punished

Research rendering: the one who corrupts it has failed

The paired verses contrast successful purification with failed corruption; no punishment event is expressed in this segment.
