Q: Can anyone explain? x Mustapha you put me right off food now lol
A: Allah has commanded in Quran not to eat the following: 1. Any product made from the meat of pig. 2. consuming alocholoic products 3. meat of dead animals where dead by natural causes or killed by other animals 4. meat of beasts and birds that eat other animals like lion, bear, tiger, cheeta, hienese, vultures and all scavanger animals. Muslims are allowed to consume only meat of birds and animals that eat vegetables and not other animals. Most fish in oceans and rivers are allowed to eat. The products that Allah prohibited us from eating are bad for our health and this is the reason of prohibition. I read a research paper of Dr. Ahmad Skr written in late sixties. I read it in 1971. He did research on fat of cat, dog, pig, lamb and cow. He found that our bodies can disintegrate fats of lamb, cow, chicken and fish. Out body keeps the fat that is good for us and rejects that is bad for us which comes out of our body through stool. He also found that our body can not disintegrate the fat of pig, dog, cat (animals that other animals) and all good and bad fat stays in our body. It is harmful for us and that is the reason Allah has prohibited to eat products of meat from pig, dog, cat, vulture birds, and beast animals that eat other vegeterian animals.
