قَالَ فَٱذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ أَن تَقُولَ لَا مِسَاسَ وَإِنَّ لَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّن تُخْلَفَهُۥ وَٱنظُرْ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَٰهِكَ ٱلَّذِى ظَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِفًا لَّنُحَرِّقَنَّهُۥ ثُمَّ لَنَنسِفَنَّهُۥ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ نَسْفًا

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. Form I active verbs describe the calf or mountains being scattered away, and two cognate accusative verbal nouns intensify the completeness of those events. The passive perfect presents the mountains as undergoing the same removal. Tense, voice, person, number, gender agreement, object suffixes, future negation, and absolute-object force compose morphologically. The objects differ in scale but do not contradict the shared destructive dispersal core. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
