Video Description (from Youtube)
In episode 15 of Faith and Doubt: 30 Big Questions About Belief, Dr. Shabir Ally explores why Islam prohibits pork and alcohol, explaining their historical and contemporary implications. He notes that the Quran lists prohibited foods, including pork, aligning with Old Testament dietary laws. While modern farming mitigates some health risks, pork consumption historically posed health concerns, and the prohibition cultivates discipline and self-esteem among Muslims. Similarly, alcohol, despite claims of health benefits, has been linked to numerous harms, from addiction to societal issues like domestic abuse and accidents. The Quranic prohibition protects intellect and well-being, paralleling restrictions in other religious traditions. Ultimately, these rules are not meant to deprive but to guide Muslims toward a healthier, more mindful way of life.
