إِنَّ وَلِـِّۧىَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى نَزَّلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَهُوَ يَتَوَلَّى ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

Why this meaning was chosen

One Quran-internal nextness core is tested across all 232 family occurrences. Protected prior drafts remain untouched. Form II composes causation, Form V self-orientation, nouns the close relation or state, and أَوْلَى comparative nearness; contextual rules supply turn-away, alliance, guardianship, friendship, succession, and priority renderings without multiplying lexical cores. Seven aligned witnesses were consulted only at the ambiguous dual, abstract nouns, and warning formulae.
