The Moon is mentioned in the Bible 41 times, 32 times in the Old Testament and nine times in the New Testament.
The Moon is mentioned in the Noble Quran 25 times
In the Bible, Job 25:5 says that the moon does not shine and the stars are not pure in God’s eyes.
In the Quran, Verse 39:5 says that Allah is wrapping (in a ball like) the night about the day and wrapping (in a ball like) the day about the night.

Chapter 39: AZ-ZUMAR (THE TROOPS)
Verse 39:5 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:
QARIB: he created the heavens and the earth in truth, wrapping the night about the day and wrapping the day about the night, he has subjected the sun and the moon each to run for a stated term. is he not the almighty, the forgiving?
SHAKIR: he has created the heavens and the earth with the truth; he makes the night cover the day and makes the day overtake the night, and he has made the sun and the moon subservient; each one runs on to an assigned term; now surely he is the mighty, the great forgiver
PICKTHAL: he hath created the heavens and the earth with truth. he maketh night to succeed day, and he maketh day to succeed night, and he constraineth the sun and the moon to give service, each running on for an appointed term. is not he the mighty, the forgiver?
YUSUFALI: he created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): he makes the night overlap the day, and the day overlap the night: he has subjected the sun and the moon (to his law): each one follows a course for a time appointed. is not he the exalted in power – he who forgives again and again?
Allah created the heavens and the earth with the truth not in vain. He turns the night into day, so that it grows, and turns the day into night, so that it grows,
And He makes the sun and moon subservient to the Children of Adam, (each) i.e. the sun and the moon, the day and night (running on for an appointed term) for an appointed time until the Day of Resurrection.
Verily it is He Who is the Mighty, Whose way always prevails, Requites of His enemies, the ever Forgiving of His friends.
In other words, Is not He the Mighty, He Who does this is the Mighty in retribution against those who disbelieve in Him, (the Forgiver) of those who believe in Him?
Herein there is an important point about the deficiency in translating the Arabic verb “Yokaw-wer”; It is translating to overlap, wrap or cover. So, the translations come up as:
“Allah is wrapping (overlapping or covering) the night about the day and wrapping the day about the night”.
These translations are right but they ignore another important meaning of the Arabic verb “Yokaw-wer” that is “in a ball like”
That is why, the exact translations should be:
“In a ball like, Allah is wrapping (overlapping or covering) the night about the day and wrapping the day about the night.”
This is a great scientific meaning because if we look at the earth from the space we see that it is a ball like; and half of it is a day and the other half is a night.
This indicates that the Quran is the first book on the earth which says that the earth is a ball like.
