Assalamu Alaykum
As you may or may not know, Allah (SWT) prohibits things to His own liking, so even if there isn't any scientific evidence that pig is bad (though there is), it's still forbidden for one reason or the other.

Know also that pork is forbidden in Christianity (though Christians completely disregard this, as they do everything from the Bible that doesn't fit their liking) and Judaism (though Jews allow Gelatin which is usually made from pig).


Anways, pigs are lazy animals, eat their own feces, roll around in mud, and are fat. They are one of the most unhealthy animals to eat. They don't kill quick, but they kill slowly. And people say that "you are what you eat". Pretty gross, huh?

DISEASES CAUSED BY PORK

The following lists show germs or parasites that are found
in pork and some diseases caused by them. Many of these
diseases are contagious while some are proven fatal.This proves
that the more science advances the more Islam is shown correct
as a religion of God.

PARASITIC DISEASES

a) TRICHINELLA SPIRATIS ( Trichina worms )
It is the most dangerous parasite to man ( Rheumatism and
muscular pain). The infected persons shown no symptoms, recover
very slowly some die, some reduced to permanent invalids. No one
is immune from this disease and there is no cure.

b) TAENIA SOLIUM ( Pork tape worm )
The worm causes malnourishment of the person leading
to anemia, diarrhea, extreme depression melancholia and
digestive disturbances. Cysticercosis means that larva enter
the blood stream then settle down in one or more of the vital
organs of the body, for example: brain, liver, lungs or spinal
cord. They grow and encapsulate, inducing pressure to the
system around, resulting in dangerous diseases (diarrhea,
digestive disorder, anemia, chronic invalidation).

c) ROUND WORMS
Examples: Ascaris, which may lead to digestive
disturbances, appendicitis, obstructive jaundice.

d) HOOK WORMS
Examples:Ancylostomiasis, which may lead to
anemia, oedema, heart failure or retarded
growth ( mental and physical), tuberculosis,
diarrhea and typhoid.

e) SCHITOSOMA JAPONICUM
Bleeding, anemia and other syndromes. If ova
are settled in the brain or spinal cord, paralysis
and death may occur.

f) PARAGOMINES WESTERMAINI
Infestation leading to bleeding of the lungs
( endenve haemoptysis)

g) PACIOLEPSIS BUSKI
Digestive disturbances leading to persistent
diarrhea; generalized oedema.

h) CLONORCHIS SINENSIS
chlonorchiasis-obstructive jaundice, liver enlargement.

i) METASTRONGYLUS APRI
Causes bronchitis, abscess of the lungs.

j) GIGANTHORINCHUS GIGAS
Cause anemia and digestive disorders.

k) BALATITIDIUM COLI
Causes acute dysentery and general weakness.

BACTERIAL DISEASES

1. Tuberculosis
2. Fusiformis necrofurus: causing foot-rot which is very
difficult to heal.
3. Salmonella Cholera suis: causing cholera
4. Paratyphoid
5. Bruceellosis: Acute, sub acute and chronic. It may lead
to permanent disabilities.
6. Swine Erysipelas: causing Erypelas in man.

Viral Diseases
1. Small pox: is was a source of infection to man.
2. Japanese B-encepphalitis: It is the source of infection
3. Influenza, foot mouth disease, gas tro-enteritis of the
new born babies.

Protozoal Diseases : Toxo plasma goundii- It is a very
dangerous diseases.A new born baby of an infected woman may die
within few days or weeks after delivery. But if he survives
he may develop blindness or deafness.In adult chronic exhaustive
fever with enlarged liver and spleen may occur. Pneumonia, or
celebro- spinal meninggitis which may lead to death or madness.
The patient may become blind and deaf too.

Fats In Pigs:
Pork contains more fats than other meats.
Therefore, people who are fond of pork are more obese than
others. Cholesterol is higher in their blood thus making them
more prone to asthereosclerosis cardiovascular accidents and
sudden death.

Other Diseases :
Flesh of the pork is hard to digest and may
lead to chronic digestive disturbances. Pimples, boils, cysts are
common in pork eaters. These are some of the parasites and
diseases found in pork and/ or the skin of pigs and certainly
there are many more. There is still no means of killing these
parasites, in the tissues, neither has anyone found a method of
expelling them, even produced any specific treatment for the
diseases.
 
Pork is sin and sickness and here's why.....

They are forbidden because it causes many sickness as mentioned above. Just like smoking, alcohol is bad (and haram!) to you body. Allah loves the person who takes care of their health and body. Christians are even prophibited from eating pork! but most of them do not follow. Jews also don't eat pork

Salamu Alaykum brothers and sisters...

I heard that pigs were close to human beings...Is there any truth to it?

What was probably meant was that like pig flesh, human flesh as well harbors trichinosis ( Little tiny worms in the flesh). Not only is canabalism utterly despicable, but also unhealthy.

You can eat most halal meats rare. (Poultry is not a good idea b/c salmonella)Back in the good old days when people cooked food over open flames, it would be nearly impossible to kill all those germs in pig flesh. Allah SWT knows what is best for us.

salam alaikum:

"And the belivers say, we hear and we obey, forgive us, oh, our lord and unto you is the return"

this is what the quran sais about the response of the belivers to the orders of Allah, why and why not is not incumbent to any to ask, Allah taallah prohibited the consumption of pork that's it.

if there are cientific facts about it, welcome be it but we should put our faith
and obediance in Allah not in sience, because sience will not protect us from hell fire.

its said god turned disbelievers into pig... We know this because we can have organ donations from them, and if u google 'human taste pig' you will be horrified that canibals call fellow humans long pigs. (dnt ask how i know, im a researcher myself, lol). Beleive me pigs and monkeys are very close geneticaly to humans aswell which proves that this revelation in science could be true and will all be revealed when we build better machines, but inshallah one step at a time
