Do Not Eat Any Abominable Thing, Such as the Flesh of Swine and Dead Creatures

And so they Ask what has been Made Lawful - All Good Foods which God has Provided for you have been Made Lawful

Deuteronomy 14:3, Torah
[God said,] "You will not eat any abominable thing."

5:4, Qur'an
[And so] they ask you, what has been made lawful for them.  [So] say, "[All] good [foods] are lawful to you, and [also game caught by] what you have trained of hunting animals which you train as God has taught you.  So eat of what they catch for you, and remember [or mention] the name of God over it, and fear God."  Indeed, God is swift in account.

6:121, Qur'an
[So] do not eat of that which the name of God has not been remembered [or mentioned] upon, for indeed, it is grave disobedience. And indeed, the devils inspire their allies [among men and jinn] to dispute with you. And if you were to obey them, indeed, you would be associators [of others with Him].

1 Corinthians 10:31, Gospel
Therefore, whether you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God [alone].

1 Corinthians 8:4, Gospel
Therefore, as concerning the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that an idol [is] nothing in the world, and that [there is] none other God but one.

Acts 15:20, Gospel
[And thus] we write to them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and [from] fornication, and [from] things strangled, and [from] blood.

1 Corinthians 10:28, Gospel
[And so] if any man says to you, "This is offered in sacrifice to idols," do not eat for his sake who showed it, and for conscience sake, for the earth [is] the Lord [God's], and the fullness thereof -

16:114, Qur'an
[So] eat of what God [Himself] has provided for you [which is] lawful and good. And be grateful for the favor of God, if it is [indeed] Him that you serve -

5:5, Qur'an
This day [all] good [foods] have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them -

Genesis 9:3 - 4, Torah
[And thus,] every [good] moving thing that lives will be meat for you; even as the green herb, I have given you all [good] things. But flesh with the life, [which is] the blood, you will not eat.

Leviticus 11:7, Torah
And the swine… he [is] unclean to you.

Leviticus 22:8, Torah
[And] that which dies of itself, or is torn [with beasts], [you] will not eat to defile [yourself] therewith, I [am] the Lord.

5:3, Qur'an
[And so] dead [creatures] are prohibited to you, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to [something] other than God, and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those which a wild animal has eaten from, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [it is prohibited] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day, those who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so do not fear them, but fear Me. This day, I have perfected your religion for you and completed My favor upon you and have approved submission [to God] as religion for you. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, God is Forgiving and Merciful.

God Set Forth an Example to the People - When the Unclean Spirits Asked Jesus, "Send us into the Unclean Swine," but None will Understand Except those of Knowledge

Then Why do the Religious Scholars Not Forbid them from Devouring what is Unlawful? For they Eat Swine's Flesh

Matthew 8:28, Gospel
[Remember] when [Jesus] had come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, two possessed with devils met him, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

Luke 8:31, Gospel
And [the devils] asked him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.

Mark 5:12, Gospel
[So] all the devils asked [Jesus], saying, "Send us [unclean spirits] into the [unclean] swine, so that we may enter into them."

Mark 5:13, Gospel
And forthwith, Jesus gave them leave.  And the unclean [jinn] spirits went out and entered into the [unclean] swine, and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea (they were about two thousand) and were choked in the sea.

Matthew 8:33, Gospel
And those who kept [the swine] fled, and went their ways into the city, and told everything, and what had befallen to the possessed of the devils.

29:43, Qur'an
[So] We set forth these examples to the people, but none will understand them except those of knowledge.

8:21 - 22, Qur'an
[So] do not be like those who say, "We have heard," while they do not hear. Indeed, the worst of living creatures to God are the deaf and dumb who do not use reason -

5:62 - 63, Qur'an
You see many of them hastening into sin and aggression and the devouring of [what is] unlawful.  How wretched is what they have been doing.  Why do the rabbis and religious scholars not forbid them from devouring what is unlawful and saying what is sinful?  What they have been doing is surely wretched -

Deuteronomy 14:8, Torah
[For God said,] "The swine… [is] unclean to you, you will not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.

Isaiah 65:2 - 5, Torah
[But] I have spread out My hands all the day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way [that was] not good, after their own thoughts; a people who provokes Me to anger continually to My Face; who sacrifice in gardens, and burn incense upon altars of brick; who remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, who eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable [things is in] their vessels; who say, 'Stand by yourself, do not come near me; for I am holier than you.'  These [are] a smoke in My nose, a fire that burns all the day.

Isaiah 66:15 - 17, Torah
[So] behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with His chariots like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire.  For the Lord will judge all flesh by fire and by His sword, and the slain of the Lord will be many.  "Those who sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one [tree] in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, will be consumed together," the Lord says.

Do Not Say, "This is Lawful" and "This is Forbidden" to Invent Lies about God

So for Wrongdoing of the Jews, We Made Certain Foods Unlawful which had been Lawful, for I will Choose their Delusions, Because When I Spoke, they did Not Hear

6:145, Qur'an
Say, "I do not find [anything] forbidden to one who would eat it within that which was revealed to me unless it is a dead [creature] or blood spilled out or the flesh of swine - for indeed, it is an abomination - or [unless] it is [that slaughtered in] disobedience, dedicated to [something] other than God. But whoever is forced, neither desiring [it] nor transgressing, then indeed, your Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."

16:116, Qur'an
[So] do not say about what your tongues assert of lies, "This is lawful," and "This is forbidden," to invent lies about God.  Indeed, those who invent lies about God will not succeed.

6:143, Qur'an
[So ask them about the] eight pairs - two from the sheep and two from the goats. Say, "Has He forbidden the two males or the two females or that which the wombs of the two females contain? Inform me with knowledge, if you should be truthful."

6:144, Qur'an
And two from the camels and two from the cattle. [So] say, "Has He forbidden the two males or the two females or that which the wombs of the two females contain?  Or were you witnesses when God charged you with this?  Then who is more wrong than one who invents a lie about God to mislead the people by [something] other than knowledge?  Indeed, God does not guide the wrongdoing people."

4:160, Qur'an
[So] for wrongdoing on the part of the Jews, We made [certain] good [foods] unlawful for them which had been lawful to them -

Isaiah 66:4, Torah
[For] I will also choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none answered; when I spoke, they did not hear, but they did evil before My eyes, and chose [that] in which I did not delight.

6:146, Qur'an
[So] to those who are Jews - We prohibited every animal of uncloven hoof. And among the cattle and the sheep, We prohibited their fat to them, except what adheres to their backs or the entrails or what is joined with bone. [By] that, We repaid them for their injustice. And indeed, We are truthful -

Leviticus 7:22 - 25, Torah
[For] the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the Children of Israel, saying, 'You will eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.'  And the fat of the beast that dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use, but you will in no wise eat of it.  For whoever eats the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, even the soul who eats [it] will be cut off from his people."

16:118 - 119, Qur'an
[Thus] to those who are Jews We have prohibited that which We related to you before.  And We did not wrong them [thereby], but they were wronging themselves.  Then, indeed your Lord, to those who have done wrong out of ignorance and then repent after that and correct themselves - indeed, your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful.

3:94, Qur'an
[But] whoever invents a lie about God after that - then those are the wrongdoers.

5:87 - 88, Qur'an
[So] O you who have believed, do not prohibit the good things which God has made lawful to you and do not transgress.  Indeed, God does not love the transgressors.  And eat of what God has provided for you [which is] lawful and good.  And fear God, in whom you are believers.

Do Not Eat of those Dead Fish which the Name of God has Not been Mentioned upon, for it is an Invention of Lies -

[Whereby Sunni Muslims say that] Abu Mus'ab told us that 'Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Zayd ibn Aslam told us, from his father, from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

"Two kinds of dead meat have been permitted to us: fish and locusts." - Sunan Ibn Majah

But Dead Creatures are Forbidden, and so if you were to Obey them, Indeed, you would be Associators of Others with God

6:118, Qur'an
[So only] eat of that which the name of God has been mentioned upon, if you are believers in His verses -

5:3, Qur'an
[For] dead [creatures] are prohibited to you, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to [something] other than God, and [those fish] killed by strangling [or suffocation],

6:138, Qur'an
[And yet,] there are those animals [fish] which the name of God is not mentioned upon [and yet, they are deemed lawful] - [all of this] an invention [of lies] about Him. He will recompense them for what they were inventing -

[For Sunni Muslims say that] Daraqutni transmitted that Jabir reported Allah's messenger as saying,

"There is no creature in the sea which Allah has not slaughtered for the sons of Adam."* *A way of saying that fish are lawful food although they are not slaughtered. - Mishkat al-Masabih

6:121, Qur'an
[But] do not eat of that which the name of God has not been mentioned upon [during slaughter], for indeed, it is grave disobedience. And indeed, the devils inspire their allies to dispute with you. And if you were to obey them, indeed, you would be associators [of others with Him] -

6:119, Qur'an
[For] why should you not eat of that which the name of God has been mentioned while He has explained to you in detail what He has forbidden to you, excepting that which you are compelled. And indeed, many lead [others] astray through their [own] inclinations without knowledge. Indeed, your Lord - He is most knowing of the transgressors -

[For Sunni Muslims say that] Abu Mus'ab told us that 'Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Zayd ibn Aslam heard from his father, who heard from 'Abd-Allaah ibn 'Umar, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

"Two kinds of dead meat and two kinds of blood have been permitted to us. The two kinds of dead meat are fish and locusts, and the two kinds of blood are the liver and spleen." - Sunan Ibn Majah

16:115 - 116, Qur'an
[But] He has forbidden dead [creatures] to you, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to [something] other than God. But whoever is forced, neither desiring [it] nor transgressing - then indeed, Godis Forgiving and Merciful. [So] do not say about what your tongues assert of lies, "This is lawful," and "This is forbidden," to invent lies about God. Indeed, those who invent lies about God will not succeed.
