Could you please confirm this for me, and if its correct, back it up with quotations from the Quran.[/quote]
Pork prohibited in Qur'ân
The Qur'ân prohibits the consumption of pork in no less than 4 different places. It is prohibited in 2:173, 5:3, 6:145 and 16:115. "Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah." [Al-Qur'ân 5:3] The above verses of the Holy Qur'ân are sufficient to satisfy a Muslim as to why pork is forbidden.
thanks sister again
