11:73

قَالُوٓا۟ أَتَعْجَبِينَ مِنْ أَمْرِ ٱللَّهِ رَحْمَتُ ٱللَّهِ وَبَرَكَٰتُهُۥ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ ٱلْبَيْتِ إِنَّهُۥ حَمِيدٌ مَّجِيدٌ

50:1

قٓ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ٱلْمَجِيدِ

85:15

ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ

85:21

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌ مَّجِيدٌ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered all four occurrences of the adjective مَجِيد. It describes God alongside praiseworthiness in 11:73, describes the Quran in 50:1 and 85:21, and in the nominative form of 85:15 describes the possessor of the Throne. Across divine and Quranic referents the adjective marks elevated honor and greatness rather than a different concrete action. Case and definiteness follow syntax without altering the core. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
