إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ

Why this meaning was chosen

Two identical statements qualify God's plan as unyielding after respite is granted. The middle occurrence qualifies God in immediate apposition to possessing strength. Definiteness and syntax remain compositional expressions of the same non-yielding strength.
