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

Re: Correcting misconceptions
Post #11The calendar year of Islam begins not with the birthday of our prophet (peace be upon him) not from the time that the revelation came to him (Bethat) nor from the time of his ascension to heaven, but with the migration (Hijra) from an undesirable environment into a desirable place to fulfill Allah's command. It was migration from a plot that was set by the leaders of the Quraysh who were plotting to kill prophet Muhammad, and to destroy the truth that today is being conveyed to mankind everywhere against tyranny and injustice. Their purpose was to destroy the foundation of the Islamic state, the Sunnah of the tradition of the prophet, and to prevent the revelation being delivered by Allah's messenger to mankind.
The Islamic calendar is reckoned from the time of migration (Hijra) of Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) from Mecca to Madina. The Prophet's decision to migrate from Mecca came after several years of inhuman treatment of the faithful by the powerful tribes who were united despite all their feuds to stop the spread of Islam.
Prophet Mohammad's decision to leave Mecca coincided with the infidel's plan to assassinate him. In 622 AD, the Quresh tribesmen held a meeting and decided that a band of young men, one from each tribe, should assassinate Prophet Mohammad collectively so that their responsibility for the murder could not be placed on any particular tribe.
On the eventful night, the Prophet asked his cousin Ali Ben Abutalib to take his place in bed to make the Meccans think that he was asleep. The Prophet himself slipped out unobserved alongwith his loyal follower Abu Bakr (who was chosen as the first C aliph after the death of the prophet). They secretly made their way to a cave named Thawr, not far from Mecca and lay in hiding there for a day or two until Abu Bakr's son reported that the search for him had been given up. Then the two set out from Madina on camel back. They reached Quba, on the edge of the Madina oasis, on 12th Rabiul Awwal. With Mohammad's arrival in Quba a new phase of his career and glory of Islam started.
This migration has a special significance in the history of Islam. It ended the Meccan period of humiliation and torture and began the era of success. His own people to whom he preached Islam for 13 years neglected the Prophet of Islam. But he was cordially received in Madina as an honored chief.
In Madina his power enhanced day by day. Here he was not only the religious leader but took the role of a politician and statesman too. Prophet Mohammad expired ten years after his migration to Madina but only in one decade he changed the course of human history.
In view of this special significance of the Prophet's migration the consultative body advised the Second Islamic Caliph, Omar ben Khattab, to start the Islamic year from the date of migration of the Prophet from Mecca to Madina.
According to early Moslem scholars, Abu Musa Al Shari drew attention of Omar to an improperly dated debenture or IOU which was payable in the month of Shaban but it was not clear which Shaban was actually meant, the present one or the coming one. Omar called the dignitaries for consultation who made several suggestions to begin the Islamic calendar.
Ali (who later became the fourth caliph) suggested the Hijra as the beginning of the Islamic year with Moharram as its first month. Consequently, Caliph Omar in 21 A.H. or 641 A.D introduced the Islamic calendar in its present form.
QURANIC GUIDANCE
The guidance about the Islamic calendar is taken from the following verses from the Holy Quran: (In the name of GOD most gracious and most merciful)
"Lo the number of the months with God is twelve months." IX:36.
"They ask thee, of new moons. Say: They are fixed seasons for mankind and for the pilgrimage." II:189.
"He it is who appointed the sun a splendor and the moon a light, and measured for her stages, that ye might know the number of the years, and the reckoning." X:5
The Islamic Calendar of 12 Lunar Months is determined by observation of the new moon with no effort by intercalation (addition) or other means to synchronize the Lunar year with the Solar year.

Post #12Luke 18:19 ““And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.”
Here I will quote what the Dictionary of the Bible says: (When the Bible ascribes perfection to a person, as the revelation says about Job: called Job. This man was upright . He feared God and shunned evil."
it does not mean absolute perfection, like God
. And I say: Yea, when the book is ascribed to Christ as being good, it is not for his perfection and righteousness as God, but as a man
Christ is the Messenger of God
: The conclusion
in itself is forbidden in the religion of Christianity by the text of Christ, peace be upon him, upon him according to the Bible, where he says:
• Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.[a]
. (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Re: Correcting misconceptions
Post #13A man who is not educated by anyone, but brings forth the most informative book/guide full of comprehensive instructions on living the life.
A man who is not trained, but he trained so many people even after 1400 years billions are following him and his guide is conformant in every age.
A man who has no know-how about wars, is accompanied by poor and unprivileged people, but brings down 2 of the greatest empires of his time.
A man who is called Al-Sadiq Al-Ameen (the Truthful and the Trustworthy) by those who are his dire enemies. The enemies trust his trustworthiness!
For the first time in history, a man who gets overpowered on his fiercest of enemies, yet he chooses to forgive them instead of total annihilation and the very due revenge.
A person equally likened by the old, women, children and all mankind who wished to die for him, and such a divine beauty people accepted his message just by looking at his divine radiant face!
There is no man in the entire history of the universe with the above extraordinary achievements in all departments of life.
It is no other than the Exalted Prophet Muhammad PBUH. There is not a single doubt the Prophet PBUH was GOD helped, otherwise a person who not even trained or educated can become so much powerful and successful of all times, an exemplary figure followed by billions to date and forever.
The Prophet PBUH performed all kinds of miracles (instant healing, making dead come to life, split of moon, disappearing infront of the eyes of enemies, multiplication of food etc he was able to do all of that). BUT, he did not do this to show people he wants them to come to Islam.
To make people come to Islam he educated them, showed the practical workout, impressed them with his great character and his real help he used to offer to people. He moved the people by taking their chores and doing it by himself.
For example when Hazrat Bilal Habshi RaziAllah was a servant and once he was so much ill that he could not grind the wheat but insisted by his Owner. The Prophet PBUH came, Bilal did not know who he was and was hopeless from mankind and asked him to leave, but then the Prophet PBUH helped him in his illness, provided him medicine, continuously worked all the night for 3 days grinding the wheat into floor, to make Bilal RaziAllah have the rest in order to get well. This moved Bilal RaziAllah so much that he became one of the most beloved of Prophet PBUH and his stories for his love for Prophet PBUH are remarkable, becoming the most beautiful Muazzin of his times.
What the Prophet Muhammad PBUH wanted from us, he performed all of them thoroughly and attentively all his life, he was not just talks but a perfect example of a socialized person. He trained the people in full, provided comprehensive written guide to follow and established a systematic law for mankind to follow, so that conflict in relations, in nations, in life are easily and systematically resolved.
This is the only and the most complete set of guidance from a person, that never happened to mankind before. There was no concept of Women’s rights before the coming of Prophet Muhammad PBUH, but he devised them into reality, taught the man how much Allah has dignified the women that he calls them his Blessing, indeed. Not only that, he made sure of the accountability, so any oppression that occurs will be thought of accountable by evil/bad people. Thereby setting up the Human Rights for the first time ever in history.
And the human rights setup by the Prophet Muhammad PBUH are the most complete. You will not find them anywhere else other than in Muslim families, that is why most of them are so much disciplined, fearful of actions and Muslims have the most balance and peaceful life with their wives and children, parents, relatives etc
