Well, you must be wondering what is this look food that really look tasty in a sense that you want to eat it so badly. For those who fast, be patient. hahaha
I hope this piece of information will help my friends to understand why Muslims can't eat pork/swine. Just for sharing purpose...okay
1. Prohibited in the Quran
"Forbidden to you (for food) are : dead meat, blood, flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah" [Maidah 5:3]
The above statement sufficient enough why Muslims can't eat pork.
2. Prohibited in the Bible
"And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you" "Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall not ye touch, they are unclean to you".
[Leveticus 11:7-8]
Even the Bible prohibits pork.
3. Lead to various diseases
Helminthes like roundworms, pinworm, hookworm, etc. However, the most dangerous of all is the Taenia Solim (tapeworm), harbours in the intestine and is very long. Its eggs enter the blood stream and able to each to almost all organs of the body. Memory loss if they reach the brain; enters the eye, see you shall not; if enter the heart, I'm sure you know the answer.
Claims have been made that anything can be killed if the pork is cooked well. Conflictingly, helminthes called Trichura Tichurasis, its ova can still live even though the pork is cooked under normal cooking temperature. A research made in th US 24 suffered Trichura Tichurasis out of a 22 well cooked pork.
Let alone the religious teachings, even the science speaks. Think about it.
4. Building fat material in pork
Over 50% of Americans suffer hypertension due to the consumption of pork. Indeed, as pork has very little muscle building material and contains excess of fat. Hence, fat stuck in the vessels,which is equal to hypertension or heart attack.
5. Pig is one of the most filthiest animals on Earth
Lives and thrives on muck, faeces and dirt. It's the best scavenger God has produced. In the country side, no modern toilets can be found, so to clear this, pigs are up to the task. Cool...
It's true that pigs can be bred cleanly- in hygienic conditions, but, no matter how hard you try to keep them clean, they are filthy in nature. They enjoy their own as well as as their neighbors' excreta.
Well, that's basically all of it. Briefly, these are the reasons why Muslims can't eat pork, the Quran is one of the guide of life for Muslims which to do and which are forbidden. Questions can be asked, but I can't guarantee an immediate response. I had said something about this issue to any inquiring friends , please forgive me if its not enough. Have a healthful and wealthy life.=)
