Muslims do not eat pork is something everyone knows. But the real reason behind this is something that not everyone understands thoroughly. To explain this we need to go against time to learn elements from religion, medicine to culture and customs. This story will be more interesting than you think and the first thing that distinguishes Muslims does not eat pork and Indians does not eat beef is completely different.

Muslims do not eat pork because pigs are an unclean animal, and Indians do not eat beef because beef is a sacred animal. Unclean and sacred two extremes are completely opposite. The first reason that religion is important is that Islam does not eat pork, which is the rules from the Coran.

In the Coran Sutta of Muslims' sacred books, it is clear about the ban on eating pork. Specifically, in the Al-Baquarah chapter Question 173 said "ban you from eating dead animals, pork blood and what is not sacrificed in the name of Allah". This is like an immutable law once written in the scriptures, the Muslims comply without having to explain anything further. But why is pork rather than other species meat. This is really interesting. In ancient times, pigs are considered an unclean animal, they often live in a dirty environment to eat everything from trash even to their own feces.

Eating pork in unsanitary conditions leads to dangerous diseases, especially in thousands of years before food storage technology has not been developed. Even today pigs can still be the source of dangerous diseases such as tapeworm, ecoli bacteria or influenza virus. You can imagine if people at that time eat pork without cooking properly their bodies may be infected immediately. So to ensure the safety of banning pork can be considered as a measure to protect public health.

The Jews and Muslims have one thing in common is banning pork and both of these religions come from the Middle East. It comes from the geographical conditions here in harsh sauce areas to raise pigs is almost impossible. Pigs need plenty of water and food in the barren desert in shortage instead of raising pigs, people choose to raise animals that are more adaptable to the environment such as sheep, goats or camels. In addition, with such views, pigs are not able to help in production labor. While sheep, giving wool and goats for milk and camels to be a means of transportation, pigs almost do not help but take meat. This makes people not very salty, but with raising pigs to raise pigs is both expensive and not valuable. Gradually the pigs were removed from the eating habits of the community.

In addition to health and hygiene issues in the threshold of pigs, pigs are considered an unclean animal. First of all, what was written in the Coran sutta is from arguing as mentioned from the beginning. For example, the Coran sutta said that it is forbidden to eat pork because it is a short impurity so there is no more complicated reason. Pigs are arranged in filthy, unclean species right from the sacred law and people believe that eating it will cause uncleanness for themselves. This is not only the concern of Muslims but also spread to other cultures. Ancient Egyptians and Jews also considered pigs as unclean animals.

Since ancient times, the contact with pigs is thought to be unclean and spiritual, making people become unmistakable in the eyes of God. When he has assigned pigs to be dirty both physically and mentally, no one wants to eat them anymore. And if you think this is a 21st century hygiene and medicine that has developed to eat pork is normal, you are not wrong. Muslims still abstain from pork not only because of the rules in the Coran sutras but also because it is part of the cultural identity of religion. Nowadays, pigs may be much safer but Muslims are still consistent with long -standing beliefs and traditions.

So, in addition to pork, the Muslims also forbid anything else?

Muslims have some detailed eating rules that follow the principle of calling Haan, which is legal and Haram, which is banned. These prohibitions are not only because they do not like but from the reasons for health and cultural religion. To make it easier to imagine, let's go deep into each one. In addition to the pork, the animal blood here is also taboo. Muslims extremely abstain from blood here are not the type of blood or fire but the blood of animals. They think that blood is the most unclean part of the body filled with illness bacteria, imagine that you eat steak -style meat, for example What do we think about our soup.

The scientific reason is quite reasonable blood contains a lot of waste and bacteria, so it is easy to cause disease. Therefore, in the process of slaughtering according to the ritual of the Divine blood, the whole animal must be discharged. For example, in the meals of Muslims, you will never see the pudding because it is a cavalry. If you abstain, you will imagine that one day you are walking on the road to see a chicken lying dead in the middle of the road, do not pick it up and make a meal, the Muslims banned the eating of dead animals naturally or Death from an accident or death. The simple reason to eat dead animals for unknown causes of disease and no one wants to disaster into the body.

There is another reason, the slaughter must be done by a Muslim and must mention the name Allah before killing this to ensure that the animal is slaughtered in the right ritual and its blood is discharged all the cockroaches. Continue to ensure clean and safe meat. Coming to Muslim countries you will see that alcohol is very limited because alcohol and alcoholic beverages are banned and in Islam. The reason is very easy to understand that drinking alcohol is loss of control causing improper behaviors, you can not drink alcohol and pray, right?

In the Coran sutta, Allah said that alcohol was the uncleanness from Satan. Saying that is enough to understand drinking is given a devil trap and that is forbidden. For example, if you go to a Islamic country like Saudi Arabia, don't want to find a bar or club openly open, drinking alcohol is a violation of a heavy law. In addition, it is also prohibited to eat meat species that eat meat such as dogs, cats, tigers, leopards or hunting birds such as hawking eagles is also a clear state in the Islamic Law. Why is it simple because these types of life by hunting and eating raw meat are also considered unclean. Hearing that eating cats and cat meat is not standard Allah of Muslims, they will feel extremely shivered.

For example, in the Islamic water you will not see the dog meat, pub or cat meat as some places. Dog meat with them is considered a dish that is not only dirty but also lacks humanitarian. If an animal is sacrificed to other gods other than Allah, its meat is also banned from eating. This is a rule related to religious beliefs, only Allah is the supreme who is not allowed to worship or sacrifice for any other god. If someone slaughtered and spent on another god, the Muslim would absolutely not touch that piece of meat. Simply understood not to eat offerings to the gods other than Allah and eventually addictive substances such as drugs, opium, marijuana and other stimulants are also banned. Of course, the reason is clear that these substances are insoluvant control and destroy both body and mental.

Muslim encourages a healthy lifestyle, awake spirit.

Therefore, the use of addictive substances is completely banned. In short, Muslims not only abstain from pork but also forbidden to eat blood forbidden to eat natural dead animals, banned meat from hunting species, banned alcohol, and forbidden addictive substances. These prohibitions are not only for religious beliefs but also to protect health and preserve morality and healthy lifestyle. If you live in the Muslim community, you just need to follow these rules to live well and live well, not to mention other stories. Thanks for your interest in this story.
