7:57

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُرْسِلُ ٱلرِّيَٰحَ بُشْرًۢا بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَحْمَتِهِۦ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَقَلَّتْ سَحَابًا ثِقَالًا سُقْنَٰهُ لِبَلَدٍ مَّيِّتٍ فَأَنزَلْنَا بِهِ ٱلْمَآءَ فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِۦ مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ كَذَٰلِكَ نُخْرِجُ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

9:41

ٱنفِرُوا۟ خِفَافًا وَثِقَالًا وَجَٰهِدُوا۟ بِأَمْوَٰلِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

13:12

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُرِيكُمُ ٱلْبَرْقَ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَيُنشِئُ ٱلسَّحَابَ ٱلثِّقَالَ

73:5

إِنَّا سَنُلْقِى عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًا ثَقِيلًا

76:27

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ يُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرُونَ وَرَآءَهُمْ يَوْمًا ثَقِيلًا

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal core tested across all 28 family occurrences, all of which are assigned targets and were partitioned exactly. Physical clouds, loads, pregnancy, and scales anchor measurable weight; the Hour, a day, a communicated word, liability, and reluctance extend the same pressing relation to consequence or obligation. مِثْقَال names a weight quantity, while Form IV and Form VI profile entering or taking on a weighted state. The checked seven aligned readings preserve the family forms and shared relation. The generic contrast خِفَافًا وَثِقَالًا at 9:41 does not specify which human condition supplies the weight, and the dual title ٱلثَّقَلَانِ at 55:31 does not itself state why its two addressed communities are called weighty; both are retained for user review. No exact lexical collision was found.
