Bible & Qur'an Say : DO NOT EAT PORK

Both the Bible and Qur'an prohibit the eating of pork. Muslims are
aware of this prohibition and observe it strictly. However, most
readers of the Bible say they do not know where they can find this in
the Bible. In the book of Leviticus, Chapter 11, v. 7, it is recorded
that God declares the pig to be unclean for believers. Then, in verse
8, God says: 'You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses;
they are unclean for you'. This command is repeated in Deuteronomy
14;7-8. Then, in Isaiah 65:2-4, and 66:17, God issues a stern warning
against those who eat pork.

Some people are aware of this prohibition from God, but they say that
they can eat pork because St. Paul said that all food is clean in his
letter to the Romans 14:20. St. Paul said this because he believed (as
he wrote in his letter to the Ephesians 2:14-15) that Jesus had
abolished the Law with all its commandments and regulations. He seems,
however, to have misunderstood what he heard from Jesus. In the Gospel
According to Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus is reported to have said quite the
contrary, as follows: 'Do not think that I have come to abolish the
law...' Jesus then went on in that passage (in verse 19) to denounce
anyone who would break the smallest commandment and teach others
likewise. He also praised his true followers who will practice and
teach even the smallest commandments. One of the commandments, as we
have seen, is to stay away from pork. This is why the true followers
of Jesus, holding on to his teachings, did not let unclean food such
as pork enter their mouths, so that Peter, the chief disciple, can
say: 'I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.' (Acts of the
Apostles, ch. 10, v. 14). Five chapters later in the Acts of the
Apostles, 15:29, we find that the original disciples still
differentiate between clean and unclean foods, and this time Paul is
in agreement with them. Six chapters later, in ch, 21, v.25, their
decision to impose food regulations on believers is mentioned without
regret, and this time Paul is challenged to prove that he is in
agreement with them; and he demonstrated his full agreement with them.
What remains, then, is that Jesus, on whom be peace, upheld the
prohibition against pork. His disciples also upheld it, and so must
all his followers. Those who fail to uphold it need to be informed and
reminded of this rule from God. This is one reason why God sent His
final messenger, on whom be peace. God says: 'O people of the
******ure! Now has Our Messenger come unto you, expounding unto you
much of that which you used to hide in the ******ure, and passing over
much (without explanation). Now has come unto you light from Allah and
a plain ******ure.' (The Meaning of the Glorious Qur'an
