Sura 51
Aya 47
47
وَالسَّماءَ بَنَيناها بِأَيدٍ وَإِنّا لَموسِعونَ

Ali Unal

And the heaven,1 We have constructed it mightily; and it is surely We Who have vast power, and keep expanding it.2
  • After the accounts of some past, exemplary events, this verse is a continuation of verse 22.
  • The expansion of the universe, of which the Qur’ān informed us centuries ago, is the most imposing discovery of modern science. Today it is a firmly established concept and the only debate centers around the way in which this is taking place.
