Can someone please tell me about the variant readings of the quran? In discussions I've had with non Muslims, some have brought up these variant readings to try and say that there are different versions of the Quran, and that it could have had things added/taken/changed over time. I'd appreciate some kind explanation. Thanks in advance.
Assalaamu Alaykum,
Here is a good thread to start with:
([Uloom Al-Qur'an] The Qira'at and The Ahruf)http://www.islamicboard.com/quran/1202-uloom-al-quran-qiraat-ahruf.html
There are some other links in that thread which have more detail, such as:
The Ahruf of The Qur’aan
The Qira’aat of the Qur’an

I hope that helps Insha'Allaah.

If I make a mistake then please correct me, and if I have said something wrong then please forgive me.
