[Quranic Reflection]: The universe is expanding

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

The Quran states explicitly in this verse that the universe is expanding:

Sura 51, The Quran:
https://quran.com/51/47?translations=

Sahih International
And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.

Scientifically, this couldn't be more true:

Then in 1929, the American astronomer Edwin Hubble found hard evidence that the universe was expanding. Einstein changed his mind, calling his previous insistence on a static universe the "greatest blunder" of his career.

But there are other translations of that verse, to wit:

'We have built the heaven with might, and We it is Who make the vast extent (thereof).'

'With power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of pace.'

'And the heaven, We raised it high with power, and most surely We are the makers of things ample.'

'With power did We construct the heaven. Verily, We are Able to extend the vastness of space thereof.'

'And heaven -- We built it with might, and We extend it wide.'

These, together with your cherry-picked version, seem to indicate that the Universe is big and that Allah takes credit for making it so.  It doesn't really say anything about a constant expansion of the Universe, does it?
