Why shouldn't Muslims eat pork? The answer to this simple question lies, of course, not in the taste of pork meat, but in religious values. The fact is that among Muslims the ban on pork is entirely based on their faith - Islam. Let's talk about it in more detail.
The main scripture of all Muslims - the Koran - sets out the prescriptions that they must strictly observe. Only in this case, a Muslim will be able to approach his god - Allah. It was He who, according to the scripture, imposed a ban on this meat. The Qur'an details not only why a Muslim cannot eat pork, but also many other instructions, on the basis of which any Muslim laws and rules of conduct are built.
Modern look
Interestingly, modern research in this area has shown that the pig has a complex urinary system. For this reason, its meat contains a lot of uric acid. People, eating pork, consume almost 90% of this acid, which, of course, adversely affects their body. ExceptIn addition, veterinarians state that pig meat often contains the eggs of the tapeworm parasite. In general, eating pork, we risk our he alth a lot.
Muslims and Pork
Let's return to the main topic of our article. Unfortunately, the true reasons for the ban on pork meat, recorded in the sacred Islamic primary source, are unknown to us. However, today the following version is officially accepted, why Muslims should not eat pork. The fact is that Islam is designed to provide security not only to Muslim souls, but also to their bodies, and, as you know, to comply with the sacred precept is the basis of the whole life of a true Muslim!
The Koran says the following about why a Muslim should not eat pork: "A person must consume only high-quality food, he must certainly refuse blood, carrion and pork, only in this case he can count on forgiveness from Allah himself and save his own life."
Christians and pork
Friends, so you ask: "Why can not a Muslim eat pork?" - and why does no one want to know why Christians are forbidden to eat it? It is understandable that many of you are now very surprised, but it's true! I found out about this myself not too long ago! The fact is that the Christian ban on the consumption of pork meat is directly related to the fact that Christ in the New Testament compares pigs and dogs with those people who are not able to be imbued with Divine Revelation!
As you know, eating dogs is a sin. However, it does not count as such if the Christian is compelled to consume the given food in the name of his own salvation. Same with pork.
The myth of Muslims
There is a legend that pork was banned in hot countries because there were no refrigerators, and pork spoiled at an incredible rate. Allegedly, it was this reason that gave rise to a whole prescription in the Koran. But, of course, this is far from the case! This is a very deep delusion that seriously offends the feelings of any person of the Islamic faith. Therefore, friends, be careful and do not talk about this legend in Muslim society. Otherwise, you will just show them your bad manners and illiteracy!
