First of all everyone should read the following on the issue of Quranic variants and abrogation, seeing as a lot of people without any knowledge on the issue use it as a stick to beat the Muslims claiming the Quran has been changed and has some missing verses, when in fact it does not.
After reading this it should be clear that the Quran we have today is the Quran we were supposed to have as revealed, and intended from the creator to form the final revelation.
call-to-monotheism.com/introduction_to_quranic_variants
There has been a polemic going on that the Qur’an does not have manuscripts from the first century of hijra. However, this is not true. Many fragments of early Qur’anic manuscripts were shown by Orientalists notably Nabia Abbott in her work The Rise of the North Arabic script and its Kur’anic development, with a full description of the Qur’an manuscripts in the Oriental Institute (1939, University of Chicago Press). There she discusses some of the Quranic manuscripts, dated from second half of the first century hijra onwards, at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago. The aim of this page is to highlight some of the early Qur’anic manuscripts to refute the claim that the Qur’an lacks manuscripts from the first century of hijra.
The dig at the Great Mosque in Ṣanʿāʾ, Yemen, had found a large number of manuscripts of the Qur’an dating from first century of hijra. The date of building the Great Mosque in Ṣanʿāʾ goes back to 6th year of hijra when the Prophet Muhammad entrusted one of his companions to build a mosque. The mosque was extended and enlarged by Islamic rulers from time to time. In 1385 H/1965 CE heavy rains fell on Ṣanʿāʾ. The Great Mosque was affected and the ceiling in the north west corner was damaged. During the survey, the workers discovered a large vault full of parchment and paper manuscripts of both the Qur’an and non-Qur’anic material.

Hold up, so you mean to tell me what insignificant symbol is going to scare you away from educating yourself? Is that all you guys can bring to the table? there’s a million and one things, there’s no flaws you can pick choose from because they don’t exist.
OK LETS analyze that topic..
The Qur’an wasn’t compiled in book form until many years after the prophet during the reign of Abu Bakr.
When there were the recitations of the Qur’an, the Qur’an was revealed over a period of time.
yes there were verses that were relevant and then THEY BECAME IRRELEVANT and they were abrogated..
AND THE QUR’AN MENTIONS THIS IN ITS OWN

World History>Holy Books because you get an unbiased view from history.
ARE YOU CRAZY??? History is a description of events by different groups of men. Most men have agendas. I have a slight agenda here… to get you to adhere to my logic. Understand first that EVERYTHING is Propaganda. And whoever wrote that ‘history’ did so in a form to get the reader to lean in a certain direction. People are rarely unbiased. History books are written by people. Simple Algebra homie.
I leave you with this…. when in search of the truth pay attention to the WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, and WHY. Now, the where and when are usually the most truthful: Like June 1824, cairo egypt. Next, you wanna look towards the who and the why. (In most ‘events’ its always some hidden character, or shadowy person that doesn’t get mentioned) The what is the event itself that occurred. The keys to them puzzles are the WHO’s and the WHY’s, CAUSE SOMEONE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO SOMETHING, FOR SOME REASON.
