وَمَا قَدَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِۦ وَٱلْأَرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ وَٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ مَطْوِيَّٰتٌۢ بِيَمِينِهِۦ سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ
Why this meaning was chosen
All five occurrences were reviewed. Three describe folding the heavens or a scroll; the two occurrences of طُوًى are a sacred-valley name that contradicts the folding sense and are isolated as a lexical collision.
