It's amazing how flexible the language of scripture becomes when faced with new discovery.
this has been discussed here before ( I believe on this very thread even?).. but here it is again for your viewing pleasure, I took the liberty to translate before with sources from dictionary although I think my translation was adequate... Arabic is an impregnable language.. You can't tamper with it. You'll have to modify yourself, not vice versa! you want to take it on, be my guest!

وَسَّعَ from لَمُوسِعُونَ

space , split , let , broaden , dedicate , open out , widen , space out , clear a passage for , make wide or spacious , open up , make room for , make wide or spacious , step aside for , expand

described here as a (fi3l) i.e verb

you can use this online dictionary, though deficient it serves its purpose if you can understand a word that is un-conjugated , but given that three of four sources already attesting to "expansion and وَسَّعَ" aren't sufficient and everyone is oh such a textual expert .. if you don't wish to shell out big bucks for a proper dictionary... you can see in plain site it says expand... http://dictionary.sakhr.com/idrisidi...A&sub=????????

who gives a fig what you think? do you speak Arabic? I am sure all the dictinaries are rigged to be in concert with what you really want to believe...
Get a life will you?

not to mention when you have so many different meanings to a word.
So you list the definitions of the word it's "derived" from and then assume all are possible interpretations for the verse :s

That's like saying the word "atheism" could mean "God" because it's derived from the greek "theoi" (god).
