No, but I expect it to be correct if it mentions mathematics. If it gets it wrong, that's pretty bad editing.

That's your claim. The next step is to back it up with mathematics, science, and 'the reason'. And I hope this does not rain on your parade, but the Quran containing information known or easily found out in the 8th century isn't evidence of paranormal inspiration (being written several centuries later, I would hope it would contain fewer factual errors about the natural world), nor are scriptures that can be interpreted multiple ways.
Really, if the Quran was a great source of mathematics and science, I'd expect lots of great discoveries based on it, but what we see is discoveries being shoehorned into the text after the fact. Given that it got the rotation of the Earth wrong, I'd avoid it altogether as a science source if I were you.

So long as you're taking up your task with the appropriate intellectual humility....

He covered his ass both ways. He's not sure it's wrong, but if it is, it was a bad translation.
