Muslims living in Western countries avoid eating pork and its products. This is because Allah (swt) asked the believers in the Glorious Qur’an that eat of the good things and not to eat pig in the following verses:”O you who believe! eat of the good things We have given and are grateful to Allah if Him worship “(2:172)
”He has forbidden nothing but dead meat and the sanctions are and pork and what any other name besides that of Allah has been invoked but if one is forced by necessity without any desire to disobedience and without going over the limit then it is not guilty. For Allah is He who then Forgiving Most Merciful. (2:1.73)
Commenting on this verse (2:1.73), Allama Yusuf Ali says, “… the pig or dead flesh and blood as food items obviously cause disgust to any refined person. Even more pork when fed with offal. When augmented with clean food, objections are: (1) that are filthy animals in other ways, and what dirty flesh-eating affects that eats it. (2) Pork fat has more material to strengthen muscles, and (3) is more susceptible to diseases than other meats, such as trichinosis, which is recognized by worms that seem to hair in the muscle tissue. In terms of food dedicated to false gods, it is obvious that Children of Oneness not like to share it. “
Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, pork and what has been called with another name besides that of Allah, what has been killed by strangling or by a goal, and violent, or a severe fall, or what has been bloodily killed, what was eaten (partially) by a wild animal unless you have killed (right mind) – which has been sacrificed on stone (altars), (forbidden) also to divide (meat) sort with arrows: that is impiety This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion, but do not be afraid of them if not témanme to me. This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favor upon you and have chosen Islam as their religion. But if any is forced by hunger if have been inclined to sin. Allah is indeed the Ever-Forgiving Most Merciful. “(5:3)
Say: – “I find in the Message received by me by inspiration any (meat forbidden to be eaten by which you want unless you eat dead flesh, or full of blood or the flesh of the pig because it is an abomination of what Unholy (bone meat) and what has been invoked on it other than Allah. “But even so if a person is forced by necessity without breaking their own volition or passing the limits of sin, thy Lord is Oft-Forgiving The Most Merciful. “(6:14 5)
The next verse is very profound in the light of modern knowledge: “Those who conceal Allah’s revelations in his book v bought with it a miserable gain they swallow themselves in nothing but fire; Allah does not guide them to the floor Judgement Day purify n; severe will the punishment”(2:174)
A. Yusuf Ali comments on this verse as follows: “They eat nothing but fire into their bellies”is a literal translation that produces a little rough and elegance and so can not hear the words Arab. Even food and beverage item, the mission of Islam to avoid extremes of abandoning the law on one side and the other to avoid excessive formalism. He founded a few simple and reasonable rules. Anyway disobey lost cause health or physical powers . But beyond a spirit of rebellion is subjective in the name of religion to something that is far from the purpose-then the consequences are moral and spiritual. So it is a sin against faith and Spirit. Continuing the physical metaphor, we fire our stomachs. Imagine the pain that we would if we spent our physical bodies on fire! would be infinitely worse in our spiritual state, and would continue until the Day of Judgement, when we can give the words a judge speaking to a guilty reasonable, and even worse not win His Grace and His Mercy.
Fill me with fear words% or eat nothing but fire into their bellies. “One can understand these words after reading the following true story.
A beautiful but diabetic Miss Christian was taken to the operating room one afternoon in the emergency room at Yale-New Haven hospital in May 1991 in Connecticut USA. Today is still alive and do not know if he owes his life to modern medicine or the intercession of his father and died many years ago. After he recovered the doctors told him never again to eat pig over again.
His complaint that afternoon was that his stomach was burning and that his arms and legs were numb, his stomach ached severely, as a strong muscle spasm and felt that everything inside was loved.
He quickly made him tests that revealed a clinical diagnosis of esepsis, a strong blood infection that quickly lead to poor blood circulation, and this is failure of the organs and therefore death. The woman’s condition deteriorated rapidly. Her legs were quite swollen below the knee and his cheeks were also swollen. His abdomen had grown so agitated that covered ribs. The surgeon realized that his intestines were inflated with gas, and there was no peristalsis and rythmic contractions that push the contents of the intestines in normal people. The rapid inflation of the abdomen bloating is told by doctors, which means it is an abdomen with a dead part. This explained the esepsis and realized dela immediate need to operate.
In the operating room the patient was thinking”I’m going to die, I have 20 years, and I’m going to die. “Came the priest and began to pray, making the sign of the cross and the patient thought I was doing it already going to die. The patient believed in the power of God and felt the presence of his father all the time, although he had died when she Have it 10 years. She found her father saying “No, not yet.” The patient told her mother”I’ll live. ” He immediately went to work the team of surgeons, the surgeon made a cut from top to bottom on the swollen abdomen and when opening the abdomen was drained foul-smelling yellow liquid that came together in several special embaces. They met four liters The surgeon removed the dead part of the intestines that average 15 inches and gave it to the medical condition. The surgeon rebuilt the gut with staples. The patient’s open abdomen was washed with a liter of the antibiotic saline and bag all debris that could be of the abdomen. the abdomen was closed with thirty stitches.
The doctors did not know why this had happened to the patient’s intestines. The pathologist whose specialty was the gastrointestinal diseases found the answer necroticans-enteritis disease is said ‘pigbel’ clinical analysis microscope revealed small extract thousands of bacteria that seemed tubes. This bacterium called Clostridium and are related to the bacteria that cause tetanus and gas gangrene, the toxin produced by this bacterium is capable of causing inflammation and necrosis (decaying and death) of the intestinal wall, and from this comes the name necroticans enteritis. The crust is responsible for the esepsis, and all other symptoms were the result of bacteria and toxic. The toxin also results in the destruction of muscular tissue célulasdel volunteers, a process that tells rhabdornyolysis showing the patient.
Coupling ciostridial massive growth in the intestine, esepsis, rhabdomyolysis and the patient’s diabetic condition may explain all the destructive events that showed the patient. Usually a moderate number of clostridia live in harmony with the body chemistry and intestines, clostridia usually do not increase in number to be a health hazard. The doctors tell the mother feared that her daughter had a disease called pidgin. or “pork belly.”
This same process kills thousands of the tribes of New Guinea each year. Pigbel He is a big factor in premature deaths in Papua New Guinea. 85% of people who are infected by the disease die. Mortality rates is the second leading cause of mortality, the first being respiratory diseases. The pigbel, also the biggest killer of children in the region. The highest rate of this disease occurs when the ceremonies are held to celebrate by eating pig. This disease has been thoroughly studied and its evolution is known in detail.
The ceremony of the pig is an indispensable factor associated with the large number of rituals, carnivals, and offerings. The food is always prepared in a conventional style. After the pigs were killed with sticks, they are out their intestines, which are washed and wrapped in leaves. Made meat fillets, belly, banana leaves and some fruits are thrown into a hole in the earth that serves as orno. Orno work putting the stones and heated. Layers are cast full of pork. The result is a 172-degree Falirenheit orno. This temperature is unsuitable for cooking meat and the risk of contamination with bacteria is high.
After the banquet kitchen is so bad hygiene conditions that would surprise a health inspector. These are perfect conditions for breeding dangerous bacteria called clostridia. The human mechanism is a natural defense are enzymes called trypsin which destroys the toxido trypsin. The problem is that the potatoes from the region said they were sweet potatoes in the United States, has a chemical that inhibits the action of trypsin. Not only eat this type of native potatoes in their parties but it is part of the daily meal. Then the combination of the consumption of large amounts of meat with high levels of clostridia with potatoes that eliminate the action of trypsin is in the perfect mix for fatal inflammation of the stomach. This situation is made worse by the presence of intestinal worms (Ascaris lumbricoides), increasing ineffectiveness. trypsin defense.
The clinical symptoms of the disease of people of Papua New Guinea are exactly like those that showed the young patient of New Haven, Connecticut. The only difference was that the young patient was also diabetic.
The disease called necroticans Enteritis is caused by the overgrowth of clostridia bacteria. The disease appeared as an epidemic in the early years after World War II in Germany, who called him or stomach Darmbrand fire. The same disease emerged in several African countries, China, Bangladesh, Solomon Islands, and among Khmer children in Thailand. Has been the occasional death of necroticans enteritis patients in the rich countries of the West, but there has been no epidemic in these countries. In 1983, a young photo model 23 years died in the hospital called the Royal Liverpool Hospital English. The characteristics of the case are parallel to the pigbel. In the Netherlands in 1984 a young nurse diabetic died 24 hours after being admitted to hospital with the same characteristics of this disease. The amount of pork he had eaten at a party the day before becoming sick. Being diabetic had low resistance to bacteria.
Two days after surgery the patient young New Haven had his whole body swollen. His abdomen was so swollen that forced the stitches of his previous operation.
In the operating room, surgeons removed another 18 inches of intestine duodenaljejunal board. The extract was looked exactly like the 48 hours before. For the next 24 hours rhabdorriyolysis was reduced, the kidney function had improved, you know it was much less, also the lattice libel had begun to shrink. Within 24 hours had improved in every way. The improvement continued during the three weeks he was in the intensive unit and the two months he spent in the acute care floor. It took the youngest four months to recover the strength to continue his second year career in the field of education.
