THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 18th day of Jumaadal Aakhir 1440, (Saturday, 23rd February, 2019).
WHY PORK IS FORBIDDEN FOR ALL BELIEVERS OF GOD. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
Firstly of all: Our Lord, ALLAH has forbidden eating pork in definitive terms as HE forbid Jews and Christians even before perfecting Islam for mankind. ALLAH said to the Jews and Christians "The pig is also unclean; although it has a split hoof, it does not chew the cud, you are not to eat their meat or touch their carcasses.” (Deuteronomy 14:3-8). See also Leviticus 11-1-8. Some may ignorantly say Jesus came to allow it after God forbid it, AstaqfirulLah.
ALLAH says in the holy Quran:
“Say (O Muhammad to mankind): I find not in that which has been revealed to me anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be Maytah (a dead animal) or blood poured forth (by slaughtering or the like), or the flesh of swine (pork); for that surely, is impure or impious (unlawful) meat (of an animal) which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than ALLAH (or has been slaughtered for idols, or on which ALLAH’s Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering)”[Qur'an 6:145].
By the mercy of ALLAH and HIS kindness towards us, ALLAAH has permitted us to eat all good things, and HE has not forbidden anything but those that are impure. ALLAH says:
“…ALLAH allows them as lawful At‑Tayyibaat (i.e. all good and lawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons and foods), and prohibits them as unlawful Al‑Khabaa’ith (i.e. all evil and unlawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons and foods)”[Qur'an 7:157].
We do not doubt for an instant that the pig is a dirty and filthy animal, and that eating it is harmful to man. Moreover it lives on dirt and filth, and it is something that is off-putting to those of a sound nature who refuse to touch it, because eating it is either a cause or a sign of a person’s oddness. ALLAH created good things and bad things as a test to mankind. Those who belief, trust, obey on HIS commands will do the good things, those who decides to follow satan will do the bad things base on their own choices.
In shaa ALLAH today I will supplement on this reminder later as to scientific evidence why pork mustn't be eaten.
May ALLAH (Al-Haadi, The Guide) keep guiding us all and increases us all beneficial knowledge. Aameen.
