IslamRe: Why Do Muslims Not Eat Pork? by dragnet: 11:37am On Aug 28, 2012
Wizeboy: Muslims do not eat pork due to the Almighty Allah directive in the Holy Qur'an.

Pork prohibited in Qur'ân

The Qur'ân prohibits the consumption of pork in no less than 4 different places. It is prohibited in

Qur'an 2:173:
He has forbidden you only the Maitah (dead animals), and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that which is slaughtered as a scrifice for others than Allâh (or has been slaughtered for idols, on which Allâh's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering). But if one is forced by necessity without wilful disobedience nor transgressing due limits, then there is no sin on him. Truly, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Qur'an 5:3:
Forbidden to you (for food) are: Al-Maitah (the dead animals - cattle - beast not slaughtered), blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which Allâh’s Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering, (that which has been slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allâh, or has been slaughtered for idols) and that which has been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by the goring of horns - and that which has been (partly) eaten by a wild animal - unless you are able to slaughter it (before its death) - and that which is sacrificed (slaughtered) on An-Nusub (stone-altars). (Forbidden) also is to use arrows seeking luck or decision; (all) that is Fisqun (disobedience of Allâh and sin). This day, those who disbelieved have given up all hope of your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islâm as your religion. But as for him who is forced by severe hunger, with no inclination to sin (such can eat these above mentioned meats), then surely, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Qur'an 6:145:
Say (O Muhammad SAW): "I find not in that which has been revealed to me anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be Maitah (a dead animal) or blood poured forth (by slaughtering or the like), or the flesh of swine (pork) for that surely is impure, or impious (unlawful) meat (of an animal) which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allâh (or has been slaughtered for idols or on which Allâh's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering). But whosoever is forced by necessity without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits, (for him) certainly, your Lord is Oft¬Forgiving, Most Merciful."

Qur'an 16:115:
He has forbidden you only Al-Maitah (meat of a dead animal), blood, the flesh of swine, and any animal which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allâh (or has been slaughtered for idols or on which Allâh's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering). But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, and not transgressing,- then, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

The above verses of the Holy Qur'ân are sufficient to satisfy a Muslim as to why pork is forbidden.


But in case you are not a MUSLIM, Bible and Scientists also confirmed pork to be harmful for human health:

The Bible prohibits the consumption of pork, in the book of Leviticus
"And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you". "Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch, they are unclean to you." [Leviticus 11:7-8]

Pork is also prohibited in the Bible in the book of Deuteronomy

"And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass." [Deuteronomy 14:8]

A similar prohibition is repeated in the Bible in the book of Isaiah chapter 65 verse 2-5.

While the Scientists says: 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 man’s terminology called tapeworm. It harbours 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.

ajoguegbe: @poster. I only read your post and don't have time to follow the line of discussion and I know many will be trying to answer all that. That's futile! Let me tell you the truth many people answern u have failed to realize: u are not looking for God that's why you can't find Him, the Bible says that u can only find Him when u seek Him with all your heart. Its obvious your decisions are controlled by your libido. If u go after a christian girl, u profess u are looking for God, she jilts u and the next thing is go for a muslim girl and claim u found flaws with Christianity. The girls parents fails to oblige u and u say u are now an atheist. YOU ARE LOOKING FOR WOMEN NOT GOD! When u wake up in HELL, the reality of it will dawn on you- then there wld be nobody to argue with
makes sense

PhonesRe: Scam Alert!!! Beware Of 'fufu Phone' At The Computer Village. by dragnet(mod): 4:23pm On Aug 24, 2012
4reigningqueen: *** Buyers Beware: Man Arrested For Selling
‘Fufu’ Phones ***
Officials of the Lagos State Taskforce on
Environmental and Special Offences
(Enforcement) Unit have arrested a man for
selling phones stuffed with ‘fufu’ to
unsuspecting buyers at the Computer Village,
Ikeja, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.
After his arrest, it was discovered that instead
of the original battery in the phone, the
phone is stuffed with fufu to make it heavy
and look like the normal phone. It is then sold
to unsuspecting members of the public.
The suspect, 24 years old Samson Adebiyi
from Ogun State, was arrested on Wednesday
at the Computer Village after the man, Semiu
Ambali, who first fell victim to his antics, set
him up.
According to Adebiyi, those selling fufu
phones to unsuspecting buyers are many at
the Computer Village.
The syndicates usually have several phones on
them and do not have shops at the Computer
Village. They approach a customer and display
their phones and once that customer is
interested, they bring out the particular
phone the person wants to buy, remove the
battery, test it so that the customer can be
sure it is okay.
In the process of the customer being
distracted, the seller quickly replaces it with
another phone (but of the same brand). The
only difference is that the battery of the fake
phone is replaced with fufu.
Once the unsuspecting buyer accepts the
phone and pays, the sellers relocate to
another part of the Computer Village where
no one could see them and play the same
tricks on others.
On this occasion, Ambali was shown the
phone he wanted to buy by Adebiyi, who
agreed to sell the phone at N8,000.
According to him, the phone was tested and
certified okay and that at the moment he was
distracted, the phone was replaced with a
fufu phone and that he only realised this
when he got home.
The following day, he spent almost the whole
day looking for the suspected swindler and as
luck would have it, he caught up with him
and alerted the police.
Instead of grabbing him, he decided to play
the same game all over again with him. He
agreed to pay N4,000 for another phone that
had been tested and certified okay by Adebiyi.
He pretended to be distracted, only for the
fake phone syndicate to exchange it with
another fufu phone.
It was then the taskforce officials who were
lurking around, grabbed Adebiyi and took
him to their office and detained him.
The suspect confessed to the act, saying that
he did it to make ends meet. He said several
of his colleagues were still at the Computer
Village engaging in the same act.
Adebiyi said he used to be a cobbler and that
since the business was not lucrative, he
decided to engage in selling fake phones with
fufu battery.
Taskforce Chairman, Bayo Sulaiman said the
taskforce had received several complaints
about the activities of syndicates selling fufu
phones, saying this was why it raided the
Computer Village recently to stop street
trading.
He said the suspect would be charged to
court and punished if found guilty.
no be today jare.....there's a thread on it years back in this section.
