Muslims cannot and do not eat pork due to religious beliefs that eating pork and the flesh of Swine and pigs is a SIN.

Qur'an mentioned that Allah prohibits eating the flesh of swine, because it is a SIN and an IMPIETY (Rijss).

Muslims are prohibited from consuming flowing blood.

Meats that are considered haram, such as pork, dog, cat, monkey, or any other haram animals, can only be considered lawful in emergencies when a person is facing starvation and his life has to be saved through the consumption of this meat.

Islam is an Abrahamic, monotheistic religion centred primarily around the Quran, a religious text that is considered by Muslims to be the direct word of God as it was revealed to Muhammad, the main Islamic prophet.

Followers of Islam are called Muslims.

Muslims are monotheistic and worship one, all-knowing God, who in Arabic is known as Allah.

Followers of Islam aim to live a life of complete submission to Allah.

They believe that nothing can happen without Allah's permission, but humans have free will.

Belief in the Oneness of God: Muslims believe that God is the creator of all things, and that God is all-powerful and all-knowing.

God has no offspring, no race, no gender, no body, and is unaffected by the characteristics of human life.

There are five pillars – or basic tenets – of the Islamic faith.

These are professing one's faith; praying five times a day; giving zakat, or donating a certain portion of one's wealth; fasting during Ramadan; and making a pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.

Each of these pillars is an important part of being Muslim.
