Question by : Muslims, if pigs are unclean, than why did “Allah” put a cure for diabetes in them?!?
“Pigs from a remote group of islands could hold the key to treating diabetes, doctors believe.” – Daily Telegraph, Experimental diabetes treatment will inject humans with pig cells.
“A company trialling an effective cure for type 1 diabetes has provided a clear safety and tolerance review. The company, based in New Zealand, has found a way to transplant functional pig cells that produce insulin into humans.” – Diabetes.co.uk, Pig cells and potential diabetes cure found to be safe for humans.
Muslims, pigs (which you regard as being ‘unclean’) hold a key to cure diabetes according to latest medical research, so why did Allah and Muhammad prohibit pigs for consumption and even medical use (I’ll discuss that below) despite Southern-Asians and Mid-easterns – which many are Muslims -are more exposed to Diabetes compared to people of the west? Surely, the Qu’ran promoting the use of medicines and a God who sees the future would of put this cure in a clean animal such as a lamb or cow than ofcourse a un-clean animal like a pig?
I also read something similar regarding this on a Islamic website and they said it’s still un-permissible to use “haram” stuff in medications. According to one of many quotes from the Hadith they’ve put, Muhammad said, “seek medication, O servants of Allah, for Allah never created an illness without creating a cure for it” and “Allah does not put your cure in that which He has forbidden for you.” Again, that raises a question what’s begging an answer if you regard this issue.
So Muslims, how’d you respond to this and what do you think of it O.o?!

Dream I’m a Muslim – I see your point but what you what you’re saying still fails to convince me. So what?! That’s in their nature to roll around in their crap. From my point of view, your Allah – being the creator of everything including pigs – creates something, puts something beneficial in it that CAN cure a serious disease and then says it’s haram… wow… Just wow =|!

Shape-shifter – I’m not talking about ancient times; I’m talking about our present times ¬¬!
Um Huda – can’t you see the point in my question? I’m not talking about the consumption of pork; I’m talking about the diabetes cure that has been found in pigs. On what you’re saying, however, I think the consumption of pork taken in moderation is perfectly safe. If there was a hazard because of the consumption of pork, I’m sure there would of had a health hazard regarding pork by now in England since it’s a popular food over here.
Alice – No, I’m not a “moron who’s just hating on Muslims.” I have Muslims friends who I get along with who understands my views against Islam and I also understand their views that’s against Christianity. This is just a question that I want to see how Muslims respond to since they believe Pork cannot be beneficial when according to Medical Science it is. That’s all.
Carry on hating Christians if you want to. Actually, if that’s the case, you’re as bad as me and infact more bad than me since you’re criticizing and judging people of some religion rather than criticizing and judging the religion of some people.
Sweet as Strawberry – “Seriously get real. Your stupidity is stunning, I for one know I’m not like you , I’m Better than you!”
“If you want eat Pork, then eat it! I’m glad I don’t eat food that was considered food for the poor a century ago!”
Wow! Somebody seems full of themselves today ¬¬! Anyways, you’re just repeating what “Dream I’m a Muslim” said! I know that it’s still in the process but Medical Scientists and Doctors have been doing this research on pigs for almost a decade (fact!), so their must be something to it since it’s been going on for that long which is acceptable to put into consideration; plus, you being the son of a doctor and a intelligent teen, I’m sure you know that Insulin that’s used for treating people with type 1 diabetes is the one that comes from pigs.
“So their might be Alternative for Muslims and Others who don’t eat pork!”…..so it’s better to use the latter than the former O.o?! Wow…. just wow!
Dream I’m a Muslim – you keep saying that! I’m talking about the cure for diabetes what’s found in pigs; not eating pigs. Looks can be deceiving, so don’t try and like their not.
