ٱللَّهُ نُورُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ مَثَلُ نُورِهِۦ كَمِشْكَوٰةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ ٱلْمِصْبَاحُ فِى زُجَاجَةٍ ٱلزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّىٌّ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ زَيْتُونَةٍ لَّا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍ يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِىٓءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌ نُّورٌ عَلَىٰ نُورٍ يَهْدِى ٱللَّهُ لِنُورِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْأَمْثَٰلَ لِلنَّاسِ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

Why this meaning was chosen

All three family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. The form I and form VIII imperfect verbs both direct distress or grievance to God; person, gender, derivational form, mood, object, and destination compose locally. The noun مِشْكَاة at 24:35 instead denotes a recess containing a lamp. A physical container with a lamp cannot perform or receive the complaint event, creating one exact Quran-internal lexical collision confined to that noun segment. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
