As a Muslim, do you agree with what the OP says?
I don't think Quran was the first to discover it and I don't know whether or not it was common knowledge that the earth was a sphere, but if you look at planets and you look at the sun, and you look at the moon, I would assume any smart person would assume the earth is round too. It doesn't take a special revelation or scientific knowledge to assume that, perhaps it does to know for certain, but not assume it as the best theory and the one to common sense.
This by no means is a miracle. I think it was common knowledge in many places.
