[036:040]  It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law).


The Glorious Quran makes it clear that the sun and moon swimming in separate orbits.  Allah Almighty also talked about them being used for our reconning (mathematical calculation of determining time and direction).  Allah Almighty talked about them in relation to our earth and what services they provide for us and our life and survival.

As to geocentrism, everything in the universe is the center of the universe.  You are the center of the universe.  Any object can be used as the center of the universe if everything has to be measured by how far they are from that object.  The following scientific video demonstrates this in details:

Also, Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:

       -  Spherical: "egg-shaped".
       -  Is rotating around itself.
       -  Is moving in space in curvy orbits.
       -  Is in constant motion.
       -  Is suspended in space.
       -  Is swimming in space.
       -  Is traveling through the constantly expanding universe.
