8:42

إِذْ أَنتُم بِٱلْعُدْوَةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَهُم بِٱلْعُدْوَةِ ٱلْقُصْوَىٰ وَٱلرَّكْبُ أَسْفَلَ مِنكُمْ وَلَوْ تَوَاعَدتُّمْ لَٱخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِى ٱلْمِيعَٰدِ وَلَٰكِن لِّيَقْضِىَ ٱللَّهُ أَمْرًا كَانَ مَفْعُولًا لِّيَهْلِكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ عَنۢ بَيِّنَةٍ وَيَحْيَىٰ مَنْ حَىَّ عَنۢ بَيِّنَةٍ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَسَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

30:3

فِىٓ أَدْنَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَهُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ غَلَبِهِمْ سَيَغْلِبُونَ

37:6

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ

41:12

فَقَضَىٰهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَٰوَاتٍ فِى يَوْمَيْنِ وَأَوْحَىٰ فِى كُلِّ سَمَآءٍ أَمْرَهَا وَزَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِمَصَٰبِيحَ وَحِفْظًا ذَٰلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْعَلِيمِ

53:9

فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ

67:5

وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِمَصَٰبِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَٰهَا رُجُومًا لِّلشَّيَٰطِينِ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلسَّعِيرِ

Why this meaning was chosen

Reviewed all 133 Quran-family occurrences across both required 100-item pages. The 132 frozen targets were partitioned exactly; the single protected pre-run lower record at 2:61 owned by MH-frontier-adna-lower was treated only as context and was not edited. Two compacted dunya-nearer proposal records with the same candidate ID and different candidate hashes were reviewed only as suggestions; their present-versus-later contrast was independently supported, while the spatial dunya segments were partitioned separately. No failure candidate required review. Seven aligned witnesses were inspected at 8:42, 30:3, 32:21, 33:59, 53:8-9, 58:7, and 73:20; none resolves the two English-choice challenges. The one-core test retains worldly, spatial, comparative, motion, and reachable-fruit uses as dimensional applications of relative nearness.
