Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of the substantivized feminine Form I active participle ٱلصَّاخَّة at 80:33. Its arrival opens the scene in which each person flees close family and is wholly occupied by their own concern, followed by divided faces on that day. This continuation establishes a climactic, overwhelming judgment event. Because no other occurrence or same-root comparator describes its sensory action, the Quran-internal context does not independently calibrate how literally English should express the conventional acoustic force of a deafening blast. The target is definite feminine nominative singular. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
