وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ خِلْفَةً لِّمَنْ أَرَادَ أَن يَذَّكَّرَ أَوْ أَرَادَ شُكُورًا

Why this meaning was chosen

The researcher accepted follow as the single خلف core across all 127 occurrences. The repair preserves separate form-level renderings for reciprocal divergence, succession, causation, passivity, non-accompaniment, contrary conduct, commitment follow-through, replacement, and crosswise position. It also corrects the generation noun to the Quranic vocalization خَلْفٌ and prevents the active Form V from being mistranslated as passive.
