84:6

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ

84:6

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered both occurrences in the single cognate construction at 84:6. The active participle characterizes the human as one laboring toward the Lord, and the event noun intensifies the sustained exertion before the promised meeting. Agent and action therefore express one strenuous onward-effort core. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
