Re: Pork
The Whole point of my response was that we dont always need to question the commands that are very clearly given in the Quran and Sunnah. We dont always need to wonder why is it a certain way and not any other way. As far as I know Allah declares Pig haram, and Allah does not say why the pig is haram. We could come up with a hundred reasons as to why a pig is haram, but for all we know the real reason that Allah in his infinite wisdom choose to declare it haram for us is escaping us.
Im all for the quest for knowledge, scientific or otherwise, im all for people trying to discover why a pig is haram, but really is everything in islam explainable by logic and reason ? No. However, we do have one reason to superede all others, and that is that the Quran is the irrefuteable word of Allah, and therefore if it does contain something that is the truth and nothing can ever change that.
If my response was worded a bit harshly, i appologize for it, such was not my intention.
