Actually Allah never stated the reasons why, though it is described as unclean. In Islam a basic tenet is, we hear and we obey.

Allah says pork is forbidden, then we stay away from it. However certain situations we are allowed to, eg famine, war, shortage of food, being forced to eat it etc. However we are reminded to consume it just enough to stay alive.

That's illogical. Jews are small in numbers as compared to christians. Wouldn't it be wiser to not, if we wanted to attract the higher numbers?

So all these are Allah's commandments. We abide.
 
Simple. Cannibalism is haram. They don't eat their own kind. :cool:

Chatgpt Ai ,

highlights a key difference in religious dietary practices!

In Islam, the Quran and Islamic tradition clearly prohibit the consumption of pork.

This is a fundamental dietary law for Muslims.

The Bible's stance on pork is more nuanced and has evolved through different covenants.

Here's a breakdown:
Old Testament (Before Jesus):

* Prohibition: The Old Testament, particularly the books of Leviticus (Chapter 11, verses 7-8) and Deuteronomy (Chapter 14, verse 8), explicitly lists pigs as "unclean" animals that the Israelites were forbidden to eat or even touch their carcasses.

* Leviticus 11:7-8: "And the pig, though it has a divided hoof and is completely split-footed, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you."

* Deuteronomy 14:8: "The pig is also unclean; although it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. You are not to eat their meat or touch their carcasses."

* Purpose of the Laws: These dietary laws were part of the Mosaic Law given to the Israelites. They served several purposes:

* Distinction: To set the Israelites apart as a holy people, distinct from the surrounding nations.

* Hygiene/Health: While not explicitly stated as the primary reason, some scholars suggest these laws had practical benefits for health, as proper sanitation and food preparation were less understood in ancient times.

* Symbolism: To teach spiritual lessons about purity and separation from sin.
New Testament (During and After Jesus):
This is where the shift occurs for Christians.

* Jesus' Teachings: Jesus emphasized that internal purity (of the heart) is more important than external rituals or dietary rules.

* Mark 7:14-19: Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen to me, everyone, and understand this: Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them." (Verse 19 concludes with the parenthetical remark, "In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.") This passage is often seen as a pivotal moment where Jesus reinterprets the Mosaic dietary laws.

* Matthew 15:10-11: A similar account is found here, where Jesus states, "It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person."

* Peter's Vision (Acts 10): This event is crucial for understanding the early Christian church's move away from the Old Testament dietary laws.

* The Apostle Peter had a vision where he saw a sheet descending from heaven, containing all kinds of "unclean" animals (including those forbidden by Mosaic Law). A voice told him to "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat." Peter initially refused, saying he had never eaten anything impure or unclean. The voice responded, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean." This happened three times.

* This vision was primarily about God showing Peter that the Gospel was for Gentiles (non-Jews) as well, and that the previous distinctions between clean and unclean people (and thus, foods) were no longer applicable in the New Covenant.

* Apostolic Council (Acts 15): When the early church debated whether Gentile converts needed to follow all the Mosaic laws, including dietary restrictions, the apostles decided that Gentiles were not required to keep the Mosaic dietary laws, except for abstaining from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, and from the meat of strangled animals (Acts 15:28-29).

This was more about avoiding practices associated with pagan worship and respecting the consciences of Jewish believers, rather than declaring the foods themselves inherently unclean.

* Paul's Teachings (Romans 14 and 1 Corinthians 8 & 10): The Apostle Paul further elaborated on Christian freedom regarding food:

* Romans 14:14: "I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that no food is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean."

* Paul emphasizes that while all foods are now permissible for Christians, believers should be sensitive to the consciences of others and not cause a fellow believer to stumble by exercising their freedom to eat certain foods.

In summary:

* Old Testament: Explicitly prohibited pork (and other foods) for the Israelites as part of the Mosaic Law.

* New Testament (Jesus' time onwards): Jesus' teachings and the revelation to Peter (Acts 10) are interpreted by most Christians as signifying a fulfillment and reinterpretation of the Old Testament dietary laws. The emphasis shifted from external ritual purity to internal heart purity. Therefore, for most Christians today, there is no prohibition against eating pork or other foods previously considered "unclean" under the Mosaic Law.


It's important to note that while the majority of Christian denominations do not observe dietary restrictions on pork, some smaller Christian groups or individuals may still choose to abstain from certain foods for various reasons, including personal conviction or a desire to follow Old Testament practices. However, this is not a widespread doctrine across Christianity.
