Geocentrism And Celestial Motion Quran 36:38 To 40, 21:33
In Quran 36:38-40 and 21:33, the sun and moon are described as moving in their own courses or orbits, with the sun not overtaking the moon and each floating in a prescribed path. Since these verses focus on the movement of the sun and moon while never explicitly mentioning that the Earth rotates on its axis or revolves around the sun, why do they appear more consistent with the geocentric worldview that was common in antiquity? If the Quran is compatible with modern heliocentrism, how do these verses indicate that understanding rather than an Earth-centered cosmos?

The Quran is not a book of science. It does not intend to provide any scientific information. The Quran uses the natural phenomena as they appear to common observation as a premise to establish an argument that there is One God who created all these for a purpose. No one shares his creation, so worship Him only and be prepared for the hereafter.
