وَٱلْوَزْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْحَقُّ فَمَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ

17:35

وَأَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ إِذَا كِلْتُمْ وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًا

55:9

وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلْوَزْنَ بِٱلْقِسْطِ وَلَا تُخْسِرُوا۟ ٱلْمِيزَانَ

Why this meaning was chosen

All 23 occurrences support one measuring core. Commercial commands require full measurement with equity; resurrection measures are heavy or light; مِيزَان names the measuring standard associated with equity, revelation, and accountable order; مَوْزُون marks what has measured proportion. The cosmic placement at 55:7 and the growth description at 15:19 remain explicit review points. No collision or aligned reading divergence is present.
