There are 56 ethnic groups in China, among which the Hui people are the most widely divided ethnic group in China. As early as the middle of the 7th century, a large number of Persian and Arab businessmen came to China by sea and land to settle down. Mosques, also known as worship temples, were built in places where the Hui people settled more intensively. We all know that Hui people don't eat pork, but many people don't know why! So let's have a look with Xiaobian today
1. In the Koran, Chapter 6, verse 145, it is mentioned that 'blood, pork, those who die themselves, and those who are not slaughtered in the name of Allah shall not be eaten'. " You can eat the delicious food given to you by Allah. Thank Allah. If you only worship Allah, he only forbids you to eat dead things, blood, pork, and "hellip" slaughtered in the name of Allah& hellip; Don't talk nonsense: This is legal and that is illegal. If you lie in the name of Allah, the liar will never succeed. " (Koran 16:116) 'there are people of good faith! You can eat the delicious food I give you, and thank Allah. If you only worship Allah, Allah only forbids you to eat dead things, blood, pork, and those slaughtered in the name of Allah & hellip& hellip;。' The Hui people believe in Muslims, which makes them very helpless to praise the Koran.
2. In fact, for Muslims, they not only do not raise pigs and do not eat their meat, but also put an end to filthy, dirty, greedy, lazy, stupid and other bad habits of pigs and their similar animals. Like these bad habits, the Koran condemns them, and other social civilizations also despise them. Not eating means staying away from their bad habits. This is why Muslims also do not eat strange, greedy and cruel animals such as fierce birds and beasts. The standard that Muslims can eat is "beauty". It is the so-called "handsome, warm and clean" edible, and "different, evil and filthy" not edible.
