The verb shifts from the third-person plural (they associate, starting with ya) to the second-person plural (you associate, starting with ta).

The verb shifts from Form II (yunazzilu), implying a gradual or repeated sending down, to Form IV (yunzilu), implying a singular or immediate act of sending down.

The verb changes from the active 'He sends down' (يُنَزِّلُ) to the passive 'are sent down / bestowed' (تُنَزَّلُ), changing 'the angels' from the grammatical object to the subject.

The diacritical dots on the first letter change from a Ya (two dots below) to a Nun (one dot above), shifting the verb from third-person singular ('He') to first-person plural ('We').

The words for 'the sun' and 'the moon' change from accusative objects (fatha) of the previous verb to nominative subjects (damma) of a new nominal sentence, grouping them with 'the stars'.

In Hafs, 'the stars' is in the nominative case as the subject of a new clause. In the variant, 'the stars' is in the accusative case, continuing the list of objects subjected by Him, with 'subjected' functioning as a circumstantial modifier (hal) in the accusative case.

The variant adds a shadda (tashdid) on the letter dhal, indicating the assimilation of a 'ta' prefix into the 'dhal' (tadhdhakkarūn instead of tadhakkarūn). This intensification alters the meaning slightly to imply continuous or emphasized remembrance.

The prefix letter changes from yaa (two dots below) to taa (two dots above), shifting the pronoun from the third-person 'they call' to the second-person 'you call'.

The vowel on the final 'nun' changes from a fatha in Hafs to a kasra in the variant. This kasra indicates an elided first-person object pronoun (ya al-mutakallim), thereby adding the specific meaning 'Me' to the verb.

The verb changes from the active 'yahdī' (He guides) to the passive 'yuhdā' (is guided), shifting the grammatical focus from Allah's action to the state of those led astray.

The vowel on the letter nun changes from a damma (nominative) to a fatha (accusative/subjunctive). In Hafs, it is read as an independent indicative clause ('and it is'). In the variant, it is read in the subjunctive case coupled with the preceding particle of intent ('so that it is' or 'so it is').

The vowel on the letter ra' changes from a fatha to a kasrah, shifting the word from a passive participle (those rushed into the Fire) to an active participle (those neglecting their duties or exceeding bounds).

The vowel on the letter ra' changes from a fatha in Hafs (passive participle) to a kasra in the variant (active participle). This shifts the meaning from being rushed into the Fire (passive) to those who actively exceed bounds or go too far (active).

The verb prefix changes from 'Nun' to 'Ya', altering the subject from the first-person plural 'We' (referring to Allah) to the third-person 'they' or 'it' (referring to the livestock).

The Hafs reading uses the third-person prefix 'ya' in 'yajḥadūna' (they deny), referring to the ungrateful. The variant uses the second-person prefix 'ta' in 'tajḥadūna' (you deny), shifting the grammatical person to directly address the audience.

The prefix of the verb changes from a ya' with two dots below to a ta' with two dots above, shifting the subject from the third-person 'they' to the second-person 'you' (plural).

The variant recitation adds a shaddah (tashdeed) to the letter dhal, indicating the assimilation of an underlying second 'ta' (tatadhakkarun). This morphological emphasis intensifies the meaning from simply taking heed to continuously and deeply remembering.

The prefix of the verb changes from 'nun' (indicating first-person plural 'We') in Hafs to 'ya' (indicating third-person singular 'He') in the variant.

The verb shifts from Form II (yunazzilu), which implies sending down gradually or in stages, to Form IV (yunzilu), which simply means sending down in a general sense or all at once.
