Why is Pork Meat Haram in Islam?
PORK MEAT IS FORBIDDEN IN ISLAM ACCORDING TO THE TEXT OF THE QUR’AAN,
WHERE ALLAAH SAYS :
“He has forbidden you only the Maytah (dead animals), and blood, and the flesh of swine.”
(Al-Quran 2:173)
“It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter
that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger,
he has indeed strayed into a plain error”
[al-Ahzaab 33:361]
WHY IS PORK MEAT HARAM TO EAT ?
Eating the meat of the pig can cause over seventy different types of diseases as their bodies
contain many toxins and deadly parasitic worms like Tapeworm, Roundworm, pinworm, hookworm etc.
If you eat pork your likely to inject many of these worms or their eggs into your body. Most
dangerous among them is Tapeworm.
Inside the body, these worms lay eggs and raise a family, they stroll inside the body and can reach any organ easily.
If they enter the brain it can cause memory loss, If they enter the heart it can cause heart attack, If they enter the eyes it can cause blindness, it can damage almost all the organs of the body.
WHAT DO PIGS EAT ?
The pig is one of the filthiest Animal on the earth, it lives and thrives on muck, feaces (shit
or poop) or excreta and dirt. Sometimes trash is collected to feed pigs they also eat urine, poop, mud, dead insects, worms, small animals etc.
DO THEY SWEAT?
No!! So all the toxics will stay in their bodies.
So your basically going to eat something that
lived in dirty mud,
ate it’s own poop,
and has toxics in its body
is that good?
CONCLUSION
Pig can be a very dangerous animal to eat, especially if it is not carefully vetted and handled.
This is why both the Bible and Quran advised people to stay away from consumption of pig meat.
Aside from religion – from a purely health perspective – there are many better meat alternatives. Your health is too precious to be gambling for some temporarily excited taste buds.
There is only one time that would allow for eating pork and that is when forced by necessity with no intention to sin.
I hope you were able to get something out of this article. If you did find value spread barakah by sharing it among friends and family.
