There are plenty of published books written by Islamic scholars about abrogation and its wisdom. Muslims know what is abrogation and understand it very well.
Example of abrogation: The holy Quran used a stepwise approach to solve the problem of wine drinking as Arabs at that time were very attached to it. The first verses which was mild in its approach were abrogated with the last verse which forbade wine completely. This approach was very wise and successful in solving the problem of wine addiction.

In chapter 2:106, the Qur’an plainly indicates,
"Such of our revelation as we abrogate or cause to be forgotten, we bring (in place) one better or the like thereof."
The Bukhari says,
"Aisha said, The prophet heard a man reciting in the mosque. He said, ‘May God have mercy on him, he has reminded me of such and such verses which I dropped from Sura so and so."’
So Muhammad sometimes used to forget some verses and his friends had to remind him of them, but whenever he did not find anybody to remind him, he claimed that they had been abrogated.
Predestination?
Quran affirms that if Allah so willed, he could certainly have brought every soul its true guidance. But that won’t happen as he makes it clear that he does not want to guide everyone and woes to “fill Hell with Jinns and men all together."
(Q.32.13)
” If We had so willed, We could certainly have brought every soul its true guidance: but the Word from Me will come true, "I will fill Hell with Jinns and men all together."
Why should a loving God not guide his own children? Why should he leave them to themselves and then come upon them with such wrath filling the Hell with those whom he purposefully did not guide? This defies any logic.
In response Muslims say that we have free will to accept God or reject him. But this is not what the above verse is saying. As this verse clearly explains, if Allah wanted to guide people, he certainly could have done it. Yet he decided not to guide some and then fill the Hell with all those who he did not guide. This verse tells that human beings have no control over being guided at all.

May the peace, blessing and mercy of God be upon you
I know which verses have been abrogated, and I also know that divine pre-decree is part of faith, and those who reject are equal to disbelievers (there was a sect many hundreds of years ago with this heretical belief)
But the difference is, I actually study my religion, while most people don't, they just know some basics, its actually appalling that many people don't even know what their saying in their prayers!
I am not a scholar or anything, not yet at least, but I try my best and ask God for knowledge to be on straight path. So he will be pleased with me on the Day of Judgment.
Peace Be With You

Muslims actually happen to believe in predestination, but we also believe in free will. As for aborgation, I don't know what that is.
