In the Qur'an chapter 5 verse 5 it says that the food of Jews and Christians is lawful for us, but Christians eat pork and so it is implied that all meat except from non halal animals are allowed, which also implies that the meat of Jews and Christians is permissible provided it meets other criteria, such as being without blood, and being from an animal killed in the name of Allah.....but Christians no longer do that to my knowledge, even in America, a relatively religious Western society. Thoughts?
Zahbia is the halal method of killing animals for food.
Do you think the pious don't sin?
They merely:
Veiled themselves and didn't flaunt it
Sought forgiveness and didn't persist
Took ownership of it and don't justify it
And acted with excellence after they had erred - Ibn al-Qayyim
At nowadays its typical that Christians eat pork but did they ate it normally in the times of the Prophet or was their original diet more similar like with Jews? I don´t know the Bible enough well to say is there rules which restrict or prohibit eating pork.
From Occupied Palestine:
We have suffered too much for too long. We will not accept apartheid masked as peace. We will settle for no less than our freedom.
Pain and hardships allow you to grow spiritually Alhamdulilah so smile when a so called calamity befalls upon you.
Alhamdulilah Allah swt is the greatest.
