Pork is one of the foods that Allah makes unlawful in the Qur'an.
Atrue Muslim will demonstrate determination in abiding by Allah's
commands and prohibition even if he is unaware of the wisdom behind
them. But if Allahso wills He can also showus the wisdom behind the
things He has prohibited. The recent rapid rise in cases of swine flu,
a lethal disease, is one of the reasons why the eating of pork is
unlawful.
Swine flu is a disease caused by the virus "H1N1" and can be passed
from person to person through the air. Like the flu virus in human
beings, the swine flu virus constantly changes in pigs. Pigs'
respiratory passages contain receptors that are sensitive to viruses
such as swine, human and bird flu. For that reason, pigs increase the
possibility of new viruses emerging in the event they are transmitted
simultaneously. The A/H1N1 virus, a combination of human, swine and
bird flu viruses, only appears in the receptors in pigs' respiratory
passages; in other words, pigs serve as hosts for viruses to combine
together in. Because human beings have no natural immunity to the
virus and since it spreads very fast, the World Health Organization
has warned that the disease is about to spread out ofcontrol as an
epidemic.
One of the most frightening aspects of the disease is that it is the
same as the "SpanishFlu" that led to the deaths of more than 50
million people between September 1918 and June 1920. It is the AH1N1
virus that causes the disease in both cases. Spanish flu was also
first transmitted to human beings from pigs in America, from where it
spread across the world, becoming one of the worst epidemics in
history. Therefore, in theevent that swine flu cannot be brought under
control, there is a danger that it will spread all over the world.
The Hadith Indicate That Pigs Will Be Destroyed in the End Times
Fourteen hundred years ago, our Prophet (saas) indicated that pigs
will be destroyed in the End Times:
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come as a just judge… hewill slay the pig and
distribute goods and possessions, but becauseof their abundance nobody
will accept them.
(Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi Alamat al-Mahdi al- Muntadhar, p. 31)
This hadith suggests thatthere will have to be a mass slaughter of
pigs inthe time of Hazrat Mahdi(as). Indeed, states may have to resort
to the mass slaughter of pigs inorder to prevent the spread of swine
flu if it becomes an epidemic threatening the whole world. Egypt has
in fact already begun slaughtering pigs in order to protect itself
against the disease. The hadith of our Prophet (saas) state that it
will beessential to slaughter pigs, the source of swineflu, in the
same way the authorities dry up the swamps that constitute the
breeding grounds ofmosquitoes, which also constantly spread disease.
As has already been stated, pigs' respiratory passages play the main
role in the emergence ofthis dangerous disease. That is just one of
the reasons behind Allah's prohibiting the consumption of pork. There
are many other pieces of wisdom behindAllah's making the consumption
of pork unlawful. Some of these may be set out as follows:
Pork contains high levels of sulfur
Since pork contains highlevels of sulfur, when it is eaten a large
amount of sulfur is absorbed by the body. Excessive amounts may lead
to various diseases, such as joint infections when it accumulates in
cartilage,muscle and nerves, calcification and hernia. In the event of
regular pork consumption, soft connective tissue from the pig replaces
the hardcartilage in the body. As a result, the cartilage becomes
unable to bear the weight of the body, which in turn leads to joint
deficiencies.
Pork contains excessive amounts of growth hormone
Excessive amounts of growth hormone ingested through pork leads to
tissue swelling and deformations. It can lead to sudden and extreme
fat accumulation. People who eat pork generally have a higher risk of
obesity. It may lead to abnormal growth of the nose, jaw, hand and
feetbones. The most dangerous aspect of excessive growth hormone is
that is prepares the way for cancer.
Eating pork leads to skin diseases
Substances known as "histamine" and "imtidazole" in pork cause
excessive itching. They also prepare the way for infectious skin
diseases such as eczema, dermatitis and neurodermatitis. These
substances also increase the risk of boils, appendicitis, gall bladder
diseases and arterial infections. Doctors therefore advise heart
patients to avoid eating pork.
Eating pork spreads trichina
Trichina worms ingestedthrough pork enter the blood stream through the
stomach and intestines and spread throughout the body. Trichina worms
particularly settle in muscle tissue in the jaw, tongue, neck, throat
andchest regions. They lead to paralysis of the chewing, speech and
swallowing muscles. They also cause vein obstructions, meningitis and
brain infections. Severe cases may even end in death. The most
dangerous aspect of the disease is that there is no cure for it.
Trichina outbreaks have been observed from time to time in Sweden,
Britain and Poland, despite tight veterinary controls.
Pork is very fatty and contains poisonous substances
Pork is very fatty. When ingested, the fat enters the blood stream and
leads to hardening of the arteries, raised blood pressure and coronary
infarct. In addition, pork contains a toxin called "Sutoxin." The
lymph glands have to work extra hard in order to expel these toxins
from the body. This manifests as swelling of the lymph glands,
especially in children. If the disease progresses, all the lymphglands
swell up, temperature rises and pain begins.
These are just a few aspects of the wisdom behind Allah's making the
eating of pork unlawful. Allah is also showing us the wisdom of this
prohibition by creating swine flu in the End Times. For a sincere
believer, even not knowing why Allah has prohibited anything, his main
responsibility is to maintain the bounds set by Him. But with the
epidemic over recent days Allah is telling believers of yet another
element of that wisdom.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*

Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
