ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ لَا تَأْخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

Why this meaning was chosen

Tested across all 660 Quranic occurrences in the frozen family. The 153 uncovered segments retain one standing-and-stability core; tense, voice, intensification, comparison, and nominal pattern supply the exact renderings below. Existing accepted meanings and earlier drafts were treated as protected comparison evidence and were not edited. The two compacted Qiyamah candidates were reconciled across all seventy frozen event-noun occurrences rather than inherited as decisions. Seven aligned recitation witnesses were consulted only where vocalization or construction could affect the analysis.
