cizma's personnel comments
"Ramadan"
whole month = 30 days. I really wondered how can
they survive this fasting : )
Actually, Muslim can eat at night time (after sunset, before sunrise). Muslim
can not eat just during the daytime. What I surprised is that Muslim can
not drink and smoke either.
My first Ramadan (fasting) was in 1999. Although I got a headache at the
very first day, I like Ramadan. I can concentrate on my faith more than
usual and feel unity through special activities in Ramadan.
"Pork"
Muslim do not eatPork. It's clear in our Holy Book,
"Al-Q'ran". Like "He has only forbidden you what dies of itself, and blood,
and flesh of swine(=pork) , and that over which any other (name) than (that
of) Allah has been invoked; but whoever is driven to necessity, not desiring,
nor exceeding the limit, no sin shall be upon him; surely Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful." [Al-Baqara 2:173]
If you ask me "Why you don't eat pork?", I will answer "Because it's prohibited."
I know this answer may not satisfy you. I know it doesn't sound logical.
Before I convert to Islam, I also thought that this answer was not logical
because he/she do not know the exact scientific reason. However I do same
answer, even I know this answer do not satisfy you.
Once I became a Muslim, "How to practice what Allah says in Al-Q'ran?" is
more important than worrying about "How to give up these delicious Pork/Ham/Bacon
meals?"
I do not want to do anything that Allah has forbidden. In addition, I really
believe that Allah has not forbidden anything without the reason. (Although
I can not find the reason. I'm just a human!)
More and more will be
forthcoming....INSHALLAH!
