Why Pork (Pigs Meat) is forbidden in Islam?

he other non-Muslims and atheists (disbelievers of God) will agree only if convinced through reason, logic and science. Eating of pork can cause no less than SEVENTY different types of diseases. A person can have various helminthes like roundworm, pinworm, hookworm, etc One of the most dangerous is Taenia Solium, which is in lay mans terminology called tapeworm. It harbors in the intestine and is very long. Its ova i.e. eggs, enter the blood stream and can reach almost all the organs of the body. If it enters the brain it can cause memory loss. If it enters the heart it can cause heart attack, if it enters the eye it can cause blindness, if it enters the liver it can cause liver damage. It can damage almost all the organs of the body.
Another dangerous helminthes is Trichura Tichurasis. A common misconception about pork is that if it is cooked well, these ova die. In a research project undertaken in America, it was found that out of twenty-four people suffering from Trichura Tichurasis, twenty two had cooked the pork very well. This indicates that the ova present in the pork do not die under normal cooking temperature.

DISEASES CAUSED BY PORK IN DETAIL
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 (Bloodsucking) 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
Tuberculosis Fusiformis necrofurus: causing foot-rot which is very difficult to heal.
Salmonella Cholera suis: causing cholera Paratyphoid Bruceellosis: Acute, sub acute and chronic. It may lead to permanent disabilities. Swine Erysipelas: causing Erysipelas in man.
VIRAL DISEASES
Small pox: is a source of infection to man. Japanese B-encepphalitis: It is the source of infection Influenza, foot mouth disease, gas tro-enteritis of the new born babies.
PROTOZOAN 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.
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.
FATS IN PIGS
Pork contains more fats than other meats. Therefore, people who love of pork are fatter than others. Cholesterol is higher in their blood thus making them more flat to asthereosclerosis cardiovascular accidents and sudden death.
PIG IS THE MOST SHAMELESS ANIMAL
The pig is the most shameless animal on the face of the earth. It is the only animal that invites its friends to have sex with its mate. In America, most people consume pork. Many times after dance parties, they have swapping of wives; i.e. many say you sleep with my wife and I will sleep with your wife. If you eat pigs then you behave like pigs. We look upon America to be very advanced and sophisticated. Whatever they do, we follow after a few years. According to an article in Island magazine, this practice of swapping wives has become common practice in South Asia.
PIG IS ONE OF THE FILTHIEST ANIMALS ON EARTH
The pig is one of the filthiest animals on earth. It lives and thrives on muck, feces and dirt. It is the best scavenger that I know that God has produced. In the villages they dont have modern toilets and the villagers defecate in the open air (Body releases) and Very often these releases are cleared by pigs.
Some may argue that in advanced countries like Australia, pigs are bred in very clean and hygienic conditions. Even in these hygienic conditions the pigs are kept together in sties. No matter how hard you try to keep them clean they are filthy by nature. They eat and enjoy their own as well as their neighbors excreta.
CONCLUSION
Isnt Allah merciful to us? When Allah Almighty prohibits (Haram) something for His servants, He does so certainly out of His overflowing mercy on them, to save them from all what may bring them harm; He is indeed Ever-Kind and Most Glorious!

Absolutely true, not healthy to eat pork specially on a daily basis.

Than again all meat is harmful specially beef if eaten on a daily basis.

One could eat either in small grams mixed in with veggies everyday with no harm or ill effects.

Just as a curiosity I am asking these questions: you did not give any reference for the diseases caused by pork. 2nd if we accept your observations as valid, then it employs that all these Europeans and Americans mush have all these diseases. Is this the case, if yes can you give some references for that.

I had a bite of it by accident and it made me sick.
It tastes like cheap, bad meat. Like when Beef or Lamb goes bad and should be thrown away in rubbish.
Its a bit like chicken but with alot more fat, and chicken with fat is disgusting. In Canada I always tell my friends dont save money on food, if you can afford it, buy some real respectable meat like Beef or Lamb. Pork is not for eating it is filthy. If you want something cheap then just get chicken.

Beef may taste really good but it might not be good for some of the older guys, it is always healthier to balance with vegetables Because the fat in vegetables is healthier than the fat that you might find in meat products.

Btw Chinese eat pork alot more than the Europeans and Americans.
As compared to Koreans and Japanese, it is my experience that Chinese smell the worse.

I think it varies person to person. I too have experience with the Chines and Europeans, very few times I felt bad about the Chinese but with the European it is and was all ok

Chinese smell the worse!! complete nonsense. Pork does not cause any smell

The type of meat does effect your hormones and makes you smell different.
The worst smell comes from humans who eat other humans... Cannibalism.

I think I have consumed bacon, by accident ofcourse. Tasted like beef to me. The diseases you mentioned are all even in beef if not prepared properly. And Pig is a creation of God, just like everything else. It's not like Iblees got down on the drawing board and designed a Pig. Hell, even Iblees himself is God's handiwork.

Dear Brother

Do not try to find logic behind everything in our Deen. It is prohibited period. No ifs and buts. Today you are trying to find logic for not eating pork. Tomorrow something else. Please accept the Deen as it is and make your believe strong by Zikr.

Going by this logic, the muslim countries should have the most healthiest people - which we all know is not true. It's quite unfortunate but the sort of stuff we eat in Pakistan is million times worse than pork. God knows what these butchers sell us - dogs, donkeys, cats whatever they can get their hands on.

This is fact that pig is the dirtiest animal on earth. The list given by the original post is valid, but these diseases can be prevented by sanitary farming and regular deworming of the farm. But I will give you only 3 reasons which cannot be prevented by any means and only related to pigs.
1. Quran has clearly said that pork is haram. There should no reasoning and arguments after that. That is our belief and cannot be broken.
2. Pig is a single stomach animal just like dogs and human beings.Due to this, food ingested by pigs is not fully converted to what is done by ruminants ie. four stomach animals like beef and sheep
3. Pigs retain their urine in their blood for a longer period as compared to other species. Due to this, pigs meat or pork smell is unique having urine smell which is the most undesirable characteristic of pork.
People in western countries eat pork because it is cheap even cheaper than chicken.

brother, nobody picked my questions and some gave me sort of observations or maybe scientific facts but without any valid scientific reference. I am not discussing all this to find the way to make it halal, of course it is haram and will remain haram until the last day. I believe if it has been declared haram by Allah, there would be some definite reason for it and it was very interesting for me that some people gave those reasons but the only thing missing is valid reference.
