God Set Forth an Example to the People - When the Unclean Spirits Asked Jesus, "Send us into the [Unclean] Swine," but None will Understand Except those of Knowledge

Then Why do the Religious Scholars Not Forbid them from Devouring what is Unlawful?

Matthew 8:28, Gospel
[Remember] when [Jesus] had come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, two possessed with devils met him, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

Luke 8:31, Gospel
And [the devils] asked him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.

Matthew 12:43, Gospel
[For] when the unclean [jinn] spirit has gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.

Mark 5:12, Gospel
[So] all the devils asked [Jesus], saying, "Send us [unclean spirits] into the [unclean] swine, so that we may enter into them."

Mark 5:13, Gospel
And forthwith, Jesus gave them leave.  And the unclean [jinn] spirits went out and entered into the [unclean] swine, and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea (they were about two thousand) and were choked in the sea.

Matthew 8:33, Gospel
And those who kept [the swine] fled, and went their ways into the city, and told everything, and what had befallen to the possessed of the devils.

29:43, Qur'an
[So] We set forth these examples to the people, but none will understand them except those of knowledge.

8:21 - 22, Qur'an
[So] do not be like those who say, "We have heard," while they do not hear. Indeed, the worst of living creatures to God are the deaf and dumb who do not use reason -

5:62 - 63, Qur'an
You see many of them hastening into sin and aggression and the devouring of [what is] unlawful.  How wretched is what they have been doing.  Why do the rabbis and religious scholars not forbid them from devouring what is unlawful and saying what is sinful?  What they have been doing is surely wretched -

Deuteronomy 14:8, Torah
[For God said,] "The swine… [is] unclean to you, you will not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass."

5:59, Qur'an
[So] say, "O People of the Scripture, do you resent us except [for the fact] that we have believed in God and what was sent down to us and what was sent down before, and because most of you are defiantly disobedient?"

2:172 - 173, Qur'an
[So] O you who have believed, eat from the good things which We have provided for you and be grateful to God if it is [indeed] Him that you serve.  He has only forbidden dead [creatures] to you, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to [something] other than God.  But whoever is forced, neither desiring [it] nor transgressing, there is no sin upon him.  Indeed, God is Forgiving and Merciful.

Those who eat Swine's Flesh will be Consumed Together with Fire

For they are a Rebellious People who Walk After their Own Thoughts, who Eat Swine's Flesh and Broths of Abominable Things

Isaiah 65:2 - 5, Torah
[Remember when God said,] "I have spread out My hands all the day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way [that was] not good, after their own thoughts; a people who provokes Me to anger continually to My Face; who sacrifice in gardens, and burn incense upon altars of brick; who remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, who eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable [things is in] their vessels; who say, 'Stand by yourself, do not come near me; for I am holier than you.'  These [are] a smoke in My nose, a fire that burns all the day.

Isaiah 66:15 - 17, Torah
[So] behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with His chariots like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire.  For the Lord will judge all flesh by fire and by His sword, and the slain of the Lord will be many.  "Those who sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one [tree] in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, will be consumed together," the Lord says.

16:113 - 114, Qur'an
And [thus] a messenger had certainly come to them from among themselves, but they denied him; so punishment overtook them while they were wrongdoers.  Then eat of what God has provided for you [which is] lawful and good.  And be grateful for the favor of God, if it is [indeed] Him that you serve -

2:173, Qur'an
He has only forbidden dead [creatures] to you, blood, the flesh of swine and that which has been dedicated to [something] other than God.  But whoever is forced, neither desiring [it] nor transgressing, there is no sin upon him.  Indeed, God is Forgiving and Merciful.

5:93, Qur'an
[And] there is no blame upon those who believe and do righteousness concerning what they have eaten [in the past] if they [now] fear God and believe and do righteous deeds, and then fear God and believe, and then fear God and do good; and God loves the doers of good.

Do Not Say, "This is Lawful" and "This is Forbidden" to Invent Lies about God

So for Wrongdoing of the Jews, We Made Certain Foods Unlawful which had been Lawful, for I will Choose their Delusions, Because When I Spoke, they did Not Hear

6:145, Qur'an
Say, "I do not find [anything] forbidden to one who would eat it within that which was revealed to me unless it is a dead [creature] or blood spilled out or the flesh of swine - for indeed, it is an abomination - or [unless] it is [that slaughtered in] disobedience, dedicated to [something] other than God. But whoever is forced, neither desiring [it] nor transgressing, then indeed, your Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."

16:116, Qur'an
[So] do not say about what your tongues assert of lies, "This is lawful," and "This is forbidden," to invent lies about God.  Indeed, those who invent lies about God will not succeed.

6:143, Qur'an
[So ask them about the] eight pairs - two from the sheep and two from the goats. Say, "Has He forbidden the two males or the two females or that which the wombs of the two females contain? Inform me with knowledge, if you should be truthful."

6:144, Qur'an
And two from the camels and two from the cattle. [So] say, "Has He forbidden the two males or the two females or that which the wombs of the two females contain?  Or were you witnesses when God charged you with this?  Then who is more wrong than one who invents a lie about God to mislead the people by [something] other than knowledge?  Indeed, God does not guide the wrongdoing people."

4:160, Qur'an
[So] for wrongdoing on the part of the Jews, We made [certain] good [foods] unlawful for them which had been lawful to them -

Isaiah 66:4, Torah
[For] I will also choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none answered; when I spoke, they did not hear, but they did evil before My eyes, and chose [that] in which I did not delight.

6:146, Qur'an
[So] to those who are Jews - We prohibited every animal of uncloven hoof. And among the cattle and the sheep, We prohibited their fat to them, except what adheres to their backs or the entrails or what is joined with bone. [By] that, We repaid them for their injustice. And indeed, We are truthful -

Leviticus 7:22 - 25, Torah
[For] the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the Children of Israel, saying, 'You will eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.'  And the fat of the beast that dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use, but you will in no wise eat of it.  For whoever eats the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, even the soul who eats [it] will be cut off from his people."

16:118 - 119, Qur'an
[Thus] to those who are Jews We have prohibited that which We related to you before.  And We did not wrong them [thereby], but they were wronging themselves.  Then, indeed your Lord, to those who have done wrong out of ignorance and then repent after that and correct themselves - indeed, your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful.

3:94, Qur'an
[But] whoever invents a lie about God after that - then those are the wrongdoers.

5:87 - 88, Qur'an
[So] O you who have believed, do not prohibit the good things which God has made lawful to you and do not transgress.  Indeed, God does not love the transgressors.  And eat of what God has provided for you [which is] lawful and good.  And fear God, in whom you are believers.

So they Ask what has been Made Lawful - All Good Foods which God has Provided for you have been Made Lawful, so do Not Eat Any Abominable Thing

But Dead Creatures are Prohibited to you, and Blood, the Flesh of Swine, those Dedicated to Something Other than God or that which the Name of God has Not been Mentioned upon

Deuteronomy 14:3, Torah
[God said,] "You will not eat any abominable thing."

5:4, Qur'an
[And so] they ask you, what has been made lawful for them.  [So] say, "[All] good [foods] are lawful to you, and [also game caught by] what you have trained of hunting animals which you train as God has taught you.  So eat of what they catch for you, and remember [or mention] the name of God over it, and fear God."  Indeed, God is swift in account.

6:121, Qur'an
[So] do not eat of that which the name of God has not been remembered [or mentioned] upon, for indeed, it is grave disobedience. And indeed, the devils inspire their allies [among men and jinn] to dispute with you. And if you were to obey them, indeed, you would be associators [of others with Him].

1 Corinthians 10:31, Gospel
Therefore, whether you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God [alone].

1 Corinthians 8:4, Gospel
Therefore, as concerning the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that an idol [is] nothing in the world, and that [there is] none other God but one.

Acts 15:20, Gospel
[And thus] we write to them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and [from] fornication, and [from] things strangled, and [from] blood.

1 Corinthians 10:28, Gospel
[And so] if any man says to you, "This is offered in sacrifice to idols," do not eat for his sake who showed it, and for conscience sake, for the earth [is] the Lord [God's], and the fullness thereof -

16:114, Qur'an
[So] eat of what God [Himself] has provided for you [which is] lawful and good. And be grateful for the favor of God, if it is [indeed] Him that you serve -

5:5, Qur'an
This day [all] good [foods] have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them -

Genesis 9:3 - 4, Torah
[And thus,] every [good] moving thing that lives will be meat for you; even as the green herb, I have given you all [good] things. But flesh with the life, [which is] the blood, you will not eat.

Leviticus 11:7, Torah
And the swine… he [is] unclean to you.

Leviticus 22:8, Torah
[And] that which dies of itself, or is torn [with beasts], [you] will not eat to defile [yourself] therewith, I [am] the Lord.

5:3, Qur'an
[And so] dead [creatures] are prohibited to you, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to [something] other than God, and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those which a wild animal has eaten from, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [it is prohibited] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day, those who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so do not fear them, but fear Me. This day, I have perfected your religion for you and completed My favor upon you and have approved submission [to God] as religion for you. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, God is Forgiving and Merciful.
