Why did Islam prohibit eating theflesh of swine?
The answer to this question has remained debatable among Muslims and
those of other religions who eat the flesh of swine and breed pigs, as
they were unconvinced of the reasons for which Islam forbade eating
the flesh of swine until they werepanic-stricken by the epidemic
outbreak of swine flu that overwhelmed the world.
Let Dr. Hassaan Mustafa, a member of the World Union of Health in
Canada, enumerate to us the diseases transmitted by the flesh of swine
to man:
1. The pig cannot get rid of the entire quantity of uric acid that
isformed in its body, given that it isthe main element of urine. It
getsrid of only 2% and 98% remains in its flesh. That simply means
that the flesh of swine is saturated with the main element of urine,
which the bodies of all living beings on the surface of the earth
endeavor to get rid of through the urinary system, due to the
poisonous substances it contains. This is why those who eat the flesh
of swine have high rates of arthritis, due to the high rate of uric
acid in their blood.
2. The flesh of swine is hard to digest; and it takes four
completehours in order to be digested, given that the amount of
digested protein that is absorbedafter that process does not exceed
14%. For this reason, the flesh of swine is nutritiously bad and
unworthy of the money paid for it, given that the flesh of swine, in
many countries, is moreexpensive than the flesh of other animals whose
flesh is edible with no similar problems.
3. The flesh of swine contains high rates of the growth hormone, which
accelerates the proliferation of cancer cells if there are any.
4. The fat of swine is hard to digest and emulsify in the digestive
system. The greatest portion of it is formed of harmfulsaturated fats.
It is absorbed from the intestines into the blood in the form of huge
molecules, that might possibly sediment on the walls of blood vessels
and block them, causing blood clot, let alone sclerosis andnoticeable
high rates of cholesterol and saturated fats (triglycerides) in the
blood.
5. The fat of swine sediments in the human body in the same place it
comes from in the pig; and this is indeed strange!!! If thefat comes
from the belly of the pig, it would settle in the belly of the person
who eats it. In this way, the fat of swine helps distort the human
body.
6. Eating the flesh of swine paves the way for many ailments and skin
problems and diseases, like pimples, sores, fat sacks, and itching,
for it contains a high rateof histamine.
7. Pigs and their flesh are the source of more than 57 parasitic,
germ-caused and virus-caused diseases transmitted to man, of which a
mention may be made ofTrichinella, from which the flesh of swine could
hardly be free. Trichinella parasites remain in the muscles of man,
causing severe pains that might probably paralyze their movement. They
might also remain in the diaphragm, causing breathlessness and
consequently death. Moreover, those parasites might remain for more
than thirty years in the muscles after encasing themselves in a calcic
sac.
It is quite interesting to know that an American researcher published
on the Archives of Internal Medicine website in 11/6/2001 that the
renowned German musician Mozart (d.1791) likely died because of eating
uncooked flesh of swine 44 days before the beginning of his 15-day
fatal ailment. He was infected by Trichinella, which hadnot yet been
known at that time.
8. The body of the pig in itself is regarded as a biological factory
that has the potential to producevirus-caused diseases and epidemics
that might affect man due to the genetic resemblance of pig cells to
those of man. The world pandemic called swine flu which we are
witnessing now is a result of the metamorphosis and merging of the
viruses of bird flu, human flu and swine flu, together inside the body
of the pig. They have been metamorphosed into a new deadly virus that
is transferred from pigs to people and from man to man. In Canada, a
case has been recently recorded where that disease was transmitted
from an infected person to a herd of pigs, thus making that pandemic
enter a dangerous integrated cycle.

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)./-

Eight medical reasons to prohibit swine flesh
Proxy detention 'collusion' exposed
Governments around the world, including those of Arab and European
states, have colluded inthe secret detention of 'terrorismsuspects',
UN investigators have reported.
An extensive report, released on Wednesday, paints a disturbing
picture of a systematic secret detention program involving many
countries.
Officials found that secret detention "may even amount to acrime
against humanity".
The 222-page document, which will be presented at a forthcoming
meeting of the UN Human Rights Council, is the result of several years
of investigation, and notes that secret detention is "a manifold human
rights violation that cannot be justified under any circumstances".
Despite clear laws that outlaw the secret detention of prisoners in
both war and peace, the investigators concluded that in the years
following the 9/11 attacks, several countries took part in the US-run
secret detention program.
Complicity
Criticisms of US detention policy since 2001 are nothing new, but the
report will make for uncomfortable reading for leaders in countries
accused of colluding with Washington in theCIA's now defunct rendition
and detention program.
The UK, Canada, Australia and Germany are all accused of"taking
advantage of the situation of secret detention," by sending questions
and receiving information from prisoners held in proxy detention.
The report also notes that the US"asked partners with poor human
rights records to secretly detain and interrogate persons on its
behalf," accusing Jordon, Egypt, Syria, Morocco, Pakistan, Ethiopia,
Djibouti, and possibly Uzbekistan of holding prisoners on behalf of
the CIA.
The authors admit that some of the claims of complicity cannot be
confirmed, but say the"consistency of many of the detailed allegations
provided separately by the detainees adds weight" to arguments placing
the countries at the centre of an international extra-legal detention
system.
While many of the allegations in the report date back to the Bush
years, investigators criticize Barack Obama, the US president, for not
going far enough in overhauling the system he inherited on taking
office.
While the report acknowledges Obama's achievements, it says there is
more to do, including revealing the whereabouts of prisoners who have
disappeared in the system.
"Clarification is required as to whether detainees were held in CIA
'black sites' in Iraq and Afghanistan or elsewhere when President
Obama took office, and,if so, what happened to the detainees who were
held at that time," the report says.
Disappearances
The issue of what has happened to prisoners held in US secret
detention in the past extends beyond those who were in US custody when
Obama took office.
The report details the case of a prisoner who disappeared beforeBush
left the White House, Mustafa Setmariam Naser.
The author of a number of books and other publications on Islam and
jihad, the Syrian and Spanish national was seized in Pakistan in2005
and handed over to the US authorities. He has not been heard of since,
although last year the FBI said he was no longer in US custody.
A June 2009 statement from the CIA on the issue of Naser's whereabouts
said that the agency "could neither confirm nor deny the existence or
nonexistence of records responsive to your request," adding that even
if the CIA did have the records, they would be classified.
Campaigners now believe that Naser could be in Syrian custody and are
calling on the US government to reveal where he isbeing held.
The report also attacks the Obama administration for its treatment of
prisoners in Afghanistan, specifically those held in a prison at
Bagram Airbase, describing the situation there as one of "great
concern".
The US is holding around 650 prisoners at Bagram. Earlier this month
the Obama administrationreleased a list of their names, thefirst time
prisoners held in Afghanistan have been formally identified.
The UN investigators urged the USto release additional information,"on
the citizenship, length of detention and place of capture ofall
detainees currently held" at the prison.
Reactions
Accusations of complicity in the US rendition program have prompted a
furious reaction fromsome of the governments singledout by the report.
The UK, which is accused of complicity in the cases "of
severalindividuals, including Binyam Mohamed, Salahuddin Amin, Zeeshan
Siddiqui, Rangzieb Ahmed and Rashid Rauf," rejected the report
as"unsubstantiated and irresponsible".
"There is no truth in the suggestion that it is our policy to collude,
solicit or participate in abuses of prisoners," a spokesman for the
British foreignoffice said, adding that any debate on the issue "needs
to be informed by more than unsubstantiated rumor and allegation".
But the report concludes that secret detention is a reality that needs
to be addressed.
"The evidence gathered by the four experts for the present study
clearly show that many states, referring to concerns relating to
national security - often perceived or presented as unprecedented
emergencies or threats - resort to secret detention," it says.
"With very few exceptions, too little has been done to investigate
allegations of complicity."

Belief that sudden death is because of magic/witchcraft .
married to an arab man and in his town, people seem to believe that
when someone dies, especially if they suddenly got sick and passed
away, it is because some evil"sahar" or magician placed a spell on
that person in order to make every-one believe that he/she died, and
then this magician takes the"dead" person and imprisons him/her to
become a slave. what is the ruling in islam concerning such beliefs?
has this been heard of before? could it really happen? as a foreigner
and convert to islam, i don't know what to believe in this aspect and
i am real confused. please clear this up for me. thank you
Praise be to Allaah.
What is mentioned in the question is completely wrong. The person who
dies suddenly is just like anyone else who dies, for whatever reason:
his soul leaves his body, andthe soul is a matter of the unseen which
is known only to Allaah. Some groups of innovators (followers of
bid'ah) believe that when a person dies, his soul moves to another
body. This is known as tanaasukh (transmigration of souls), and this
belief is something which is known to be essentially false according
to the religion of Islam.
Shaykh 'Abd al-Kareem al-Khudayri.
This is appalling kufr and falsehood, and is one of the results of
denying the torment of the grave. We ask Allaah to keep us safe and
sound.

The evil eye may be given by the kaafirs .
Can the disbelievers giveyou evil eye?
Praise be to Allaah.
Yes, the evil eye may be given by a kaafir. The evidence for that is
the aayah (interpretation of the meaning):
"And verily, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with
their eyes (through hatred) when they hear the Reminder (the
Qur'aan)…"
[al-Qalam 68:51]
Al-Saddi said: "[This means] they would harmyou with their eyes (evil
eye)." Tafseer al-Baghawi, 8/202.
This is also indicated by the general meaning of the words of the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "The (evil) eye
is real." Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5740; Muslim, 2187.
