حُنَفَآءَ لِلَّهِ غَيْرَ مُشْرِكِينَ بِهِۦ وَمَن يُشْرِكْ بِٱللَّهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا خَرَّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَتَخْطَفُهُ ٱلطَّيْرُ أَوْ تَهْوِى بِهِ ٱلرِّيحُ فِى مَكَانٍ سَحِيقٍ

حُنَفَآءَ لِلَّهِ غَيْرَ مُشْرِكِينَ بِهِۦ وَمَن يُشْرِكْ بِٱللَّهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا خَرَّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَتَخْطَفُهُ ٱلطَّيْرُ أَوْ تَهْوِى بِهِ ٱلرِّيحُ فِى مَكَانٍ سَحِيقٍ

Alternative: the wind drops him in a near place

Research rendering: the wind drops him in a far-distant place

The falling and wind-driven path culminates in an explicitly extreme remove, so near reverses the spatial relation.

fall

67:11

فَٱعْتَرَفُوا۟ بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسُحْقًا لِّأَصْحَٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ

Alternative: so a fall for the people of the Blaze

Research rendering: so far removal for the people of the Blaze

No motion verb or falling participant occurs in the condemnation; the noun assigns exclusionary remoteness.

place

67:11

فَٱعْتَرَفُوا۟ بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسُحْقًا لِّأَصْحَٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ

Alternative: a place for the people of the Blaze

Research rendering: far removal for the people of the Blaze

The accusative abstract noun pronounces a state on a target group; it does not name a second location.
