At first, one might wonder what harm could come from pork, a product eaten in many parts of the world, and the fact that pork contains parasites and diseases harmful to man may spring to mind as a justifiable reason for abstaining.
However, when analysing why Muslims are forbidden to eat pork, this becomes a secondary reason. Muslims simply do not eat pork or pork products because God has prohibited it. Sometimes we may never know or understand why God has ordained some things and prohibited others. Moreover, God has expressly stated that a believer hears the words of his Lord and obeys them. And whoever disobeys God and His Messenger; he has indeed strayed into a plain error.
A believer understands that God is the Most Wise and the Most Just; therefore, His rules are designed to benefit us in our daily needs, be they physical, emotional, or spiritual.
The Creator knows the best way for His creation to live in this world and prepare for the next. In cases of dire necessity, prohibited things are permitted. God allows us to enjoy all the good lawful things and forbids us to partake of those things that may be harmful to our beliefs, health, well being, or morals. If a believer consumes pork unknowingly or by mistake, there is no sin of him or her.
God does not punish anyone for lack of knowledge, nor for unintentional mistakes or forgetfulness. However if a believer is certain, or thinks that any pork, or pork products may be in his food, drinks or medicines then it is not permissible for him or her to consume it.
If he has doubts then he must make an effort to inquire about the ingredients or ask for details. The scholars of Islam differ over the issue of whether or not changing the form of the impurity in this case pork products lifts the prohibition. The Islamic Organisation for Medical Sciences is of the opinion that changing the form for example, food, and medicine additives so that it becomes something different, does lift the prohibition.
However, there is no doubt and no difference of opinion that it is forbidden to consume meat derived from the pig, including ham and bacon. The recent outbreak of swine flu in Mexico and North America led some countries to slaughter pigs en masse however there is ample scientific evidence to suggest that pigs harbour parasites that are harmful to humans and the pig has long been considered the ideal breeding ground for influenza.
In Part 1 we discussed the primary reason for Muslims abstaining from eating pork and pork products, and that is, that God has forbidden it. As the Creator of humankind and all that exists, God knows what is good for us, and He has sent guidance enabling us to make wise decisions. Just as a computer would not work properly if it were incorrectly programmed, a human being is not able to function if he is not nourished correctly.
Islam is a holistic religion that recognises the interconnectedness of spiritual, emotional, and physical health.
What a person eats and drinks has a direct bearing on their overall health and well-being. Virologists have long been aware that the pig is an ideal breeding ground for influenza, so it is no surprise that the latest threat, swine flu, originated in pigs.
So we consider the pig a great mixing pot for viruses and this is where it can play a real role in generating new viruses". The pig is known to harbour parasites as well as bacteria and viruses. Cysticercosis is an infection caused by the pork tapeworm , Taenia solium. Infection occurs when the tapeworm larvae enter the body and form cysticerci cysts.
When cysticerci are found in the brain, the condition is called neurocysticercosis. This tapeworm in pigs is found worldwide but is most problematic in poor and developing countries were pigs are allowed to roam freely and often eat human faeces.
This infection can occur even in modern developed countries but the CDC reports that it is very rare in Muslim countries where eating pork is forbidden. Trichinellosis, also called trichinosis, is caused by eating raw or undercooked meat of animals infected with the larvae of a species of worm called Trichinella. Infection occurs most commonly in certain wild carnivorous meat-eating animals but it may also occur in domestic pigs.
The CDC warns that if a human eats meat containing infective Trichinella cysts, the acid in the stomach dissolves the hard covering of the cyst and releases the worms. The worms pass into the small intestine and, in days, become mature. After mating, adult females lay eggs. These eggs develop into immature worms, travel through the arteries, and are transported to muscles.
