Revelation of aayaat are not based on our understanding

Q: Volume 6, Book 61, Number 512: Narrated by Al-Bara: There was revealed: 'Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and those who strive and fight in the Cause of Allah.' (4.95) The Prophet said, "Call Zaid for me and let him bring the board, the inkpot and the scapula bone (or the scapula bone and the ink pot)."' Then he said, "Write: 'Not equal are those Believers who sit..", and at that time 'Amr bin Um Maktum, the blind man was sitting behind the Prophet. He said, "O Allah's Apostle! What is your order for me (as regards the above Verse) as I am a blind man?" So, instead of the above Verse, the following Verse was revealed: 'Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame etc.) and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah.' (4.95) is this how revelations change, based on a blind man's question?

Why did not the all knowing Allah consider the verse in a perfect manner in its first verse?

Pause signs in the Qur'an

Q: Why does the Usmaani script of the Quran not have the same signs of pause as in the Indopaak script? For example in many verses of the Quran, I see one verse in the indopaak script has a compulsory stop sign but that same Verse in the uthmani script doesn't have it. Like in Ayat number 13 of Surah Yaseen. The meem which is used to indicate a compulsory stop is Present in Ayat number 13 of Surah Yaseen in the indopaak script but it isn't present in the uthmani script. Why is this?

The script of the Qur'an

Q: I noticed that the word fitrat (فطرة) is spelled in the Qur'an with a long taa rather than the round one (i.e. فطرت as in فطرت الله). Is it part of our religion that the spelling must be made in this way? Was it something that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) commanded?
