Why is the eating of pork forbidden in Islam?
Pork is prohibited in the Qur'an in four separate verses. The prohibition also exists in the Bible (Leviticus 11:7-8, Deuteronomy 14:8). Beyond the scriptural command, pork is associated with over 70 diseases including parasitic infections (tapeworm, Trichinosis) and is linked to higher cholesterol, hypertension, and increased cardiovascular risk.
