That is the decree of the Almighty, the Omniscient. And the moon, We have measured for it mansions to traverse till it returns like the old dried curved date-stalk. It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. They all swim each in an orbit.

(36:38) Even the expansion of the universe is alluded to: "With power did We construct the heavens; verily, We are able to expand the vastness of space thereof."

(21:104) When the sun has wound around and lost its light and has been overthrown, and when the stars shall fall, and when the mountains shall be made to pass away... And when the seas shall become a blazing far or shall overflow.... (81:1-3,6) When the Heaven is cleft asunder, and when the stars have fallen and scattered, and when the seas have burst forth.... (82:1-3) When the Event befalls - and there can be no denying its befalling - it will bring low some, and others it will exalt.

When the earth will be shaken with a terrible shaking, and the mountains will be powdered to dust so that they will become floating dust particles....

You will see therein nothing crooked or curved." (20:105-107) The Qur'an does not contradict science because Allah Who revealed the Qur'an is the same Allah Who made this creation.
