a rafidi shia who believes in the distortion of the quran/ corruption of the quran by the sahaba. confronted me with an aya of the quran and i didn t know how to respond to him, and it is about this aya:
quran 5:3, Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah, and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
he says: why is: this day i have perfected your religion in between 2 orders of food laws. Also the thing doesnt read quite right. It tells you whats prohibited, then islam is your religio and perfect and then but whoever is forced. It seems as if the part after: this day i have perfected your religion should be cnnected to the first part.
but i know the quran has been preserved so how do i respond
jazakallah khair

A man who disbelieves in Quran isn't Muslim anymore. It's simple like this.
These are some quotes of shia scholars who say that part of the ayah was revealed to Prophet Muhammad in the day of Arafa:
عبيد بن عبد الواحد رفعه عن ابن عباس قال : بينما نحن مع النبي صلى الله عليه وآله بعرفات إذ قال : أفيكم علي بن أبي طالب ؟ قلنا بلى يا رسول الله ، فقربه منه وضرب يده على منكبه ثم قال : طوبى لك يا علي ، نزلت علي آية ذكرني وإياك فيها سواء فقال : " اليوم أكلمت لكم دينكم وأتممت عليكم نعمتي ورضيت لكم الإسلام دينا " . بحار الأنوار 7/236
ويقول الفيض الكاشاني: سورة المائدة هي مدنية في قول ابن عباس ومجاهد ، وقيل هي مدينة كلها الا قوله (اليوم اكملت لكم دينكم) فأنها نزلت في حجة الوداع وهي مائة وعشرون آية.تفسير الصافي ج2 ص6
ويقول صاحب الميزان: اليوم اكملت لكم دينكم فالمراد باليوم يوم عرفة من عام حجة الوداع، و هو اليوم الذي نزلت فيه هذه الآية المبينة لما بقي من الأحكام التي أبطل بها الإسلام بقايا مهانة الجاهلية و خبائثها و أوهامها، و المبشرة بظهور المسلمين على المشركين ظهورا تاما لا مطمع لهم في زواله، و لا حاجة معه إلى شيء من مداراتهم أو الخوف من عاقبة أمرهم. الميزان في تفسير القرآن للعلامة محمد حسين الطباطبائي
