[Quranic Reflection]: The universe is expanding

[WinterHold]

Or show us an English translation of the Quran from before 1929 that says 'expand'. That would be something, at least.

I translated the whole verse in page 1:

لموسعون

will expand it

Language never changes; MA. Literally, the word "اوسع-اجعله واسع" means "to expand".
Translate it with google too if you don't believe me:

Here is a link for an Arabic-Arabic dictionary that includes ancient translations for the word too:

Allow me to quote:

وسَّع الشَّيءَ: صيَّرهُ واسعًا، كبَّرهُ، خلاف ضيَّقه
Expanded something: made it wide; made it bigger; opposite of made it narrow

• وسَّع ثروته: زادها،
  Expanded his fortune: increased it

In slang , we say to an angry person: وسع صدرك which means literally "expand your chest"; i.e "become more patient/make your chest wider".
