Bible & Quran say: DO NOT EAT PORK
Both the Bible and the Quran prohibit the eating of pork. Muslims are aware of this prohibition and observe it strictly. In the book of Levitic, chapter 11, v.7, it is recorded that God declare the pig to be unclean for believers. Then, in verse 8, God says You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you. This command is repeated in Deuteronomy 14:7-8. Then , in Isaiah 65:2-3, and 66:17, God issues a stern warning against those who eat pork.
Some people are aware of this prohibition from God, but they say that they can eat pork because St. Paul said that all food is clean in his letter to the Romans 12:20. St. Paul said this because he believed (as he wrote in his letter to the Ephesian 2:14-15) that Jesus (P.B.U.H) commandment and regulations. He seems, however, to have misunderstood what he heard about Jesus (P.B.U.H). In the Gospel According to Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus (P.B.U.H) is reported to have said quite the contrary, as follows: Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law Jesus (P.B.U.H) then went on in that passage (in verse 19) to denounce anyone who would break the smallest command and teach others likewise. He also praised his true followers who will practice and teach even the smallest commandment. One of the commandments, as we have seen, is to stay away from pork.
This is why the true followers of Jesus (P.B.U.H), holding on to his teaching, did not let unclean food such as pork enter their mouths, so that Peter, the chief disciple, can say, I have never eaten anything impure or unclean (Acts of the Apostles, ch. 10, v. 14)
Five chapters later in the Acts of the Apostles, 15:29, we find that the original disples still differentiate between clean and inclean foods, and this time Paul is in agreement with them. Six chapters later, in ch.21, v. 25, their decision to impose food regulation on believers is mentioned without regret, and this time Paul is challenged to prove that he is in agreement with them; and he demonstrated his full agreement with them.
What remains, then, is that Jesus (P.B.U.H), upheld the prohibition against pork. His disciples also upheld it, and so must all his followers. Those who fail to uphold it need to be informed and reminded of this rule from God. This is one reason why God send His final messenger, (P.B.U.H). God says:
O people of the Scripture ! Now has Our Messenger come unto you, expounding unto you much of that which you used to hide in the Scripture, and forgive much. Now has come unto you light from Allah and a plain Scripture
