How is the universe expanding faster than light if nothing is possible faster than light?

It is true that one object in the universe is moving away from another object, but their speed is nowhere near the speed of light.
In fact, the universe is not only expanding as a result of particles moving away. The empty space of the universe is also expanding!
And the expansion of this space and the speed of matter particles together, the speed of expansion of the universe is more than the speed of light.
