59:23

هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْقُدُّوسُ ٱلسَّلَٰمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُ ٱلْمُهَيْمِنُ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْجَبَّارُ ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرُ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

All ten family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. The intensive descriptor characterizes human strongmen, rulers, or violent actors as domineering compellers; three negated clauses deny that trait of John, Jesus, and the messenger's role. In 59:23 the definite title occurs in a sequence of divine names and attributes, presenting God's irresistible authority without the human rebellion and violence condemned elsewhere. Number, case, definiteness, predication, circumstantial use, and negation compose locally. The moral contrast follows from bearer and context, not a contradictory lexical core. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
