Wa alaykum salam,

May Allah guide him toward Islam. I realise this must be a difficult time for you sister. InshaAllah he finds guidance.

He should know that reading a translation of the Quraan which cannot capture the full message of the original and coming up with 'contradictions' is foolhardy. If he was sincere in wanting to seek the true message, he should first learn Arabic, then read it with an open mind.

Secondly, Quran cannot be read in isolation. There are abrogated verses and other ambigious ones which require the explanation of either hadith and/or the early mujtahid Imams. This is why taqleed is important. A non-Arabic speaker with nil knowledge of Arabic, hadith, the circumstances of revelation, the rules of abrogation (for both hadith and Quran) is hardly in a position to critically analyse the scriptutes (off a translation, no less!). His ego has gotten the better of him, unfortunately.

Perhaps if he were to list out the 'contradictions' he saw. That way we can address them.
