The universe is expanding

Modern cosmology confirms the expansion of the universe, first observed by Edwin Hubble in 1929 and now measured precisely by NASA. The Qur'an states 'And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed We are [its] expander' (51:47), which classical mufassirun interpreted as ongoing divine power, and contemporary scholars note the alignment with observed cosmic expansion.

وَالسَّمَاءَ بَنَيْنَاهَا بِأَيْدٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ
