The Holy Quran states too, that the earth is roundish in shape. Flat? No, it states this earth is vast and spread for the humans, but it specifically states the shape of the earth as almost egg-shaped, which is in fact true.
My understanding of the Quran shows me it's written by people a lot smarter than the Christians Bible. In the Quran there are a lot of multiple meanings, for instance the "egg-shaped" earth is construed threw calling the earth an egg for human kind.

As far as the expanding heavens, if you take those words as the expanding universe why did the Quran also say it'll shrink back again? Science shows this will not happen, at least in human kinds existence on this planet.

All in all though the Quran is brilliant if you want a book to suck in people to take up a religion, 10x better than the Holy Bible
