بَلْ ظَنَنتُمْ أَن لَّن يَنقَلِبَ ٱلرَّسُولُ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِيهِمْ أَبَدًا وَزُيِّنَ ذَٰلِكَ فِى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَظَنَنتُمْ ظَنَّ ٱلسَّوْءِ وَكُنتُمْ قَوْمًۢا بُورًا
Why this meaning was chosen
All five family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. One event noun names ruin as the destination into which leaders settle their people. Two plural descriptors characterize people as ruined after forgetting remembrance or entertaining an evil assumption. Two imperfect Form-I verbs predicate an evil scheme coming to nothing and negate the failure of a hoped-for trade. Event-noun derivation, descriptive predication, tense, gender agreement, mood, negation, and subject type compose locally. A people, scheme, destination, or transaction may bear the result, but each context preserves failure and loss rather than a competing lexical core. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
