Some Christians claim that pigs are not forbidden in Christianity, and they deduce this with flimsy evidence
It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.”
((Matthew 15:11 ►)
In fact, this saying has nothing to do with banning pigs or not, but rather as part of a response to the Jews when they reproached the disciples of Jesus for not washing their hands before eating. On the contrary, the intention of the Lord Christ with his words is to show that moral impurity is far more dangerous than physical impurity.
” Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.” “Are you still so dull?” Jesus asked them. “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
Matthew 15:11-20
1. Pork prohibited in Qur’an
The Qur’an prohibits the consumption of pork in no less than 4 different places.
It is prohibited in 2:173, 5:3, 6:145 and 16:115.
“Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine,
and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah.”
[Al-Qur’an 5:3]
The above verses of the Holy Qur’an are sufficient to satisfy a Muslim as to why
pork is forbidden.
2. Pork prohibited in the Bible
The Christian is likely to be convinced by his religious scriptures. The Bible
prohibits the consumption of pork, in the book of Leviticus
“And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth
not the cud; he is unclean to you”.
“Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch,
they are unclean to you.” [Leviticus 11:7-8]
Pork is also prohibited in the Bible in the book of Deuteronomy
“And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud,
it is unclean unto you
The laws of God are one from Adam to Muhammad, peace be upon them
the worship of the One God (the Father) and not of a human being or an idol or anything you can imagine
and Prohibition of fornication, alcohol and pork
Dr Zakir Naik proved that having Pork is prohibited haraam in Islam as well as in Christianity

John 17:3
Christ also did not claim divinity and restricted divinity to God (the Father) alone
He did not say that he is a god or that the Holy Spirit is a god
the divinity of Christ was adopted in the fourth century, since the Council of Nicaea in the year 325 AD, and since its convening, belief in the divinity of Christ became the official position of the church, contradicting the teachings of Christ, who commanded the worship of the Father alone.

But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”
◄ Exodus 33:20 ►.
Jesus (peace be upon him) was physically manifest to his people, having been born in the flesh from his mother, the Virgin Mary. Therefore, he cannot be God, for God cannot be seen: "No one has ever seen God" (John 1:18).
15v“Therefore watch yourselves very carefully. Since wyou saw no form on the day that the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, 16beware xlest you act corruptly yby making a carved image for yourselves, in the form of any figure, zthe likeness of male or female,

Re: Correcting misconceptions
Post #32Hirabah in Islamic law is the severe crime of open armed violence, banditry, or terrorism that disrupts public security and threatens social order.
Definition and Nature of the Crime
Waging War: Scholars describe hirabah as waging war against society or spreading corruption in the land (fasad fil-ard).
Open Force: It involves individuals or groups using weapons openly to terrorize people, take property by force, cause injury, or commit murder.
Scope: Classically, jurists defined it as highway robbery. Today, many scholars also apply it to modern acts of violent crime, organized crime, and terrorism.
Scriptural Basis
The rules and punishments for hirabah come directly from the Quran in Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:33).
It is classified as a hudd crime, meaning the punishments are fixed by religious text and do not change based on a judge's personal opinion.
Fixed Punishments (Hudud)
The punishment scales depending on what the offenders actually did during the crime:
If they killed someone and stole property: The punishment is execution followed by public crucifixion.
If they killed someone but did not steal: The punishment is execution only, without crucifixion.
If they stole property but did not kill: The punishment is the amputation of the right hand and the left foot.
If they only terrorized or threatened people without killing or stealing: The punishment is banishment, exile, or imprisonment until they repent.
