That's probably because the Quran doesn't talk about force vectors. The orbit is a planar ellipse, the sun is at one focus of the ellipse in the same plane, it's the only way to balance the forces involved, any other configuration does not produce a stable orbit. Those are the facts from both theory and observation, deny them though you will.
In the Quran, the planets move along each in an orbit; each swims or floats in its orbit which implies they swim in a medium: the ether; because the swimming or floating cannot be in the space empty of anything: they should swim each in the ether each in its specific orbit.
The ether
The other thing: the Sun cannot overtake the Moon: this is the ordinance of God the All-Mighty the Most Wise. Of course this is because the Moon is fastened to the bond of the Earth gravity.
Q:28
Moreover, God holds the planets of the solar system lest they should escape away. So God makes the gravity of the Sun to hold the planets lest they should escape, and if they escape it (as will happen on Doomsday), none other than God can hold them; so the portions of the broken up planets will be held by the gravity of the newly formed planets.
Q:14
As I said: the planets do not move in the same plane as that of the Sun.
