Once a Muslim scholar was delivering a lecture about Halaal and Haraam in Islam. One man from the audience rose and asked, “Sir! Why do you eat sheep, cow etc ?”
The scholar replied that, “Allah has made them halal for us. They are all humble creations of Allah”.
The man then asked sarcastically, “Then why don’t you eat pork? Even the pig is very humble. It always has its head down when it walks. Even it will give you a lot of meat as the sheep, cow etc”.
The scholar paused for a moment and asked the guy, “Are you married ?”.
The man replied, “Yes”.
The scholar then asked, “Is she your relative”.
The man replied, “Yes. She is the daughter of…..cousin of…. ….my mother’s relative”.
The scholar then asked, “Why do you have to search and marry such a distant relative ???. Even your mother and sister have the same features what she has. Then why don’t you cohabit with your mother and sister and have your children, rather than doing it with such a stranger” ???
The man’s face turned red.
The scholar then said,
“Son! Allah in his divine wisdom has made certain things halal and certain others Haraam. We can’t use our trivial intelligence and logic to question those things”.
