يَوْمَ يَقُولُ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقُونَ وَٱلْمُنَٰفِقَٰتُ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱنظُرُونَا نَقْتَبِسْ مِن نُّورِكُمْ قِيلَ ٱرْجِعُوا۟ وَرَآءَكُمْ فَٱلْتَمِسُوا۟ نُورًا فَضُرِبَ بَيْنَهُم بِسُورٍ لَّهُۥ بَابٌۢ بَاطِنُهُۥ فِيهِ ٱلرَّحْمَةُ وَظَٰهِرُهُۥ مِن قِبَلِهِ ٱلْعَذَابُ

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 perfect verbs compose person and number while describing direct bodily contact with women, tactile contact with a written sheet, or reaching the heaven. The form VIII imperative adds directed seeking, telling people to reach out for light. Purification context, explicit hands, celestial object, and requested light supply the local renderings; contact, access, and seeking remain compositional extensions of direct reaching rather than Quran-internal contradictions. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
