The bible texts you quoted were all composed before the first experimental measurements were made by the Greeks. The Babylonians thought the earth was flat too, I expect the bible's cosmology was deeply influenced by the time in exile there.
The Greeks had a heliocentric universe model, first offered by Aristarchus of Samos in the same decade that the first experimental measurement of the Earth's diameter was published 2250 years ago. That doesn't address where the centre of the universe is located but it steps beyond the contemporary Earth-centred model.
Are you saying the Quran moves beyond heliocentricity as far as assuming the centre of the universe to be elsewhere than within the solar system? I'd be interested to see the relevant verse.
