Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of the unrooted noun يَاقُوت at 55:58. The guarded garden companions are compared to this substance and coral within the description of the two gardens. The comparison construction, coordinated precious material, and garden-beauty setting establish a valued jewel-like comparator. The Quran supplies no second occurrence or mineral description that independently distinguishes the exact gemstone species, so the conventional identification ruby remains for user review. The target is definite masculine nominative singular after comparative كَأَنَّ. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
