If you collect all the verses of day and night, and the look at the Shia literature about nights, for example, "ten nights" refers to Al-Hassan to Al-Hassan or laylatal qadr being the reality of Fatima, or that "Qadr" (greatness or power) refers to Allah in the Night of Qadr, and then explaining in other hadiths, that "Angels and the Spirit descend in it from every affair" is reality through out the year not just on one night, it shows laylal qadr on month of Ramadan is a parable of the station of Mohammad and his truth, as well as his family, and other hadiths stating their nasab (origin) is Suratal Qadr.
Likewise, the hadiths talk about 7 veils of light, and other times 70 and other times 70 000, and the Quran says he created 7 heavens and the like of the same number of earths...so what earth mean, obviously people knew there was more planets then 7, so this is referring to a spiritual reality.
Likewise, the heavens and the earth being cloven together doesn't refer to big bang, because there was no way disbelievers were expected to see that with the scientific knowledge they had, so it's referring to a spiritual reality, showing all praise/light is from God, he is the outward and the inward, but that everything was once together in a form of a light and this refers to the pure state "And his throne was upon water".
Likewise, if you read about Abraham's spiritual awakening and sight of the spiritual kingdom with the star, moon, and then sun, and that being just a beginning of his journey, we can see the concept of divine nights and divine days.
Of course Quran was never meant to be read alone, but it said itself "Therefore ask the family of the reminder if you do not know".
