13:8

ٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ أُنثَىٰ وَمَا تَغِيضُ ٱلْأَرْحَامُ وَمَا تَزْدَادُ وَكُلُّ شَىْءٍ عِندَهُۥ بِمِقْدَارٍ

32:5

يُدَبِّرُ ٱلْأَمْرَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥٓ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ

70:4

تَعْرُجُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ

Why this meaning was chosen

Tentative Quran-internal core tested across all 132 family occurrences. The 87 frozen targets are partitioned into single-rendering branches; 45 protected قدير occurrences were inspected but not edited. Paired expansion and restriction of provision, known measures, appointed extents, and repeated divine determination anchor the proposed core. At 77:23, Qalun and Warsh intensify the finite verb as Form II while the other aligned witnesses use Form I; the shared context beside the capable-agent noun does not require a lexical split. The concrete cooking-vessel noun at 34:13 receives an exact lexical-collision branch. Questions remain for the capacity extension, the constraint at 21:87, and the title in surah 97.
