I'm Muslim but would like to experience bacon. Worth it?

I'm Pakistani but am in Australia for my studies. My room mates all eat this bacon and when they eat this they make a face like an orgasm and tell me I should try. I say no cause I'm muslim and Allah doesn't allow it and it is said if I eat it I will go to hell but I am doubting this. What god would deny people something so good? It is making me question my faith. Is it a temptation of the devil or should I go through with it and experience bacon. Thank you for helping in advance.
Even if you did go to hell it would be worth it for bacon

  • Okay. Lets have a quick history lesson with you. If anyone else had this already, sorry, I did not browse the 37 comments thus far.

    At the year of about 600 after Christ Muhammed was a very prominent leader and spiritual guide and there was a serious and fatal illness associated with eating pork. That is pigs.

    The animal was however quite cheap and food of course was not always easily acquired. Muhammed forbade/spoke against eating this animal because it was dirty, (meaning that in that region at that time) it carried a transmittable disease that was dangerous to humans. This was a great public service and a very good rule at the time that undoubtedly saved plenty of lives. Credit where it is due.

    In present time people forget why pigs were considered dirty and why they were not meant to be eaten and have made what was once a very correct and intelligent rule for public health into a religious nonsensical fixation. Whilst I do not want to insult any muslim I do wonder why this is not an abundantly clear fact in the muslim world when it is a documented historical fact.

    All in all: Other muslims may judge you because of it, but in my belief neither Allah nor Muhammed had any issues with pigs. The issue was people getting sick and spreading diseases.

  • Please don't make this a race war. But any religion that doesn't allow you be pleasured in many sorts of facets. This one bacon , then i would question. Are these man's rules or a loving God?

    Lets just say our Creator that loves you had seriously had rules and books written to control what your heart truly wants. when you know without a doubt it is not hurting anybody or creates guilty other than breaking that rule. What would be out of the question if it was written in today's time? Maybe the internet would be out of bounds? Or even talking to infidels or whatever label it is.

    Your creator is all of our creators, how would we be here any other way?

    Enjoy life and be good in nature to all and that is what we are here for , not to avoid life.

    • Thank you very much for MHO. very kind.

  • I don't think you should eat it if you're really committed to your religion. Chances are that if you enjoy it you'll want to endulge more which will only cause inner conflict. Try other forms such as turkey bacon. Honestly turkey bacon is really good and much healthier

  • Bacon sucks, its not worth it, i'm sorry.
    So many calories, no much fat, and it tastes awful, remember 99% of americans eat shit food. Sorry, bacon lovers :))
    And if you're devote to your religion and its against it, don't do it.

    • My room mates say it is actually mind blowing. They use this phrase even

    • nah its not good at all.

    • Could it be just your personal preference like how some do not like chocolate? Because all my friends say its actually very good

  • Don't do it! It is WAY overrated. Don't do it, not because of HELL, there is NO HELL, but because of this, watch it, it's worth it:

    • I still want to try. It comes from the big fat ones anyway

    • Well, you are a Muslim, I forgot that. You have no heart nor brain.

    • No, that is racism. I have heart and brain.

  • It's delicious but if you have grown up not consuming pork products it will make you sick. You never developed the enzymes that you need to properly process pork products.

    • I didn't know that

    • You didn't know that? Oh I tell you – Sara is the world's authority on claiming to know things of which she doesn't know anything about. Yes it's true when the bull shit artist of the year was awarded in 2015, Sara was considered to be the absolute winner. Yes presenting the award was Groucho Marx who said, "Never has so little been presented as so much by someone who knows as little about so much."

  • You shall be beheaded for questioning Allah, and your executioners shall hold your wife captive as a sex slave.

    No bacon for you!

    • Is there a secret verse of the quran that said this?

    • It's in the Hadith and all Muslims shall follow the Prophet's example and live by Sharia.

    • I know this but the part about my wife as a slave?

  • Why don't you try turkey bacon? It's good and healthier. I don't eat pork at all and I'm Christian.

    • This sounds like a really good Idea. I wonder if I will still be curious about the real thing

    • Eww trust me the real think taste like horrible. It is nothing but fat, I say 85-95% greasy fat literally and the rest thin meat. My sister's dad is Muslim and my best friend as well and he had it and he doesn't favor it at all. Her on the other hand she doesn't care she just likes food. As far as religion goes we all sin and no sin is greater than the next a sin is a sin. Point blank period. If you're a good person don't worry about this we all get forgiven eventually. There are people doing worse thing's than eating bacon and that's every religion.

  • I believe that the Koran says that two things are permissible. One is going to a Chinese restaurant and the other is eating bacon

    • It doesn't say that in my Quran. I've read the whole thing.

    • Look under O Oriental not C for Chinese

  • While you shouldn't eat it, it's not a temptation of the devil. All faiths have their forbidden items or activities. It's a sign of obedience and humility. As for your roommates, their lack of respect for your beliefs is far worse than any food.

  • I'm most worried about why this is in the "sexual behavior" section.
    The rest of us in the world EAT bacon, not masturbate with it.
    I think "society and culture" would be the better place to ask about EATING bacon.

    • I didn't place it in that category. I put other. Maybe it was moved cause of the word orgasm

  • I'm Jewish so can understand, I have eaten bacon before becoming Jewish and to be honest it's not really worth it, it's just dried up fatty nothingness really - if you've ever eaten unflavoured beef jerky - that goes someway to describing it. Stick to your faith and refrain from bacon - however, HaShem is forgiving, you just need to work out how forgiving.

  • god made the whole universe he's not cutting the line at the deli isle. try a piece, it's worth it! especially if your have bacon with eggs, and or hashbrown, with cheese :d

  • bacon is awesome. although the decision eat it or not should be made entirely by you. i mean i guess if you break other tenants of the faith than eating a slice of bacon isn't a big deal

    i saw someone suggest eating turkey bacon. with all due respect turkey bacon tastes nothing like bacon and not nearly as good. it's a cheap substitute... healthier yes but not even close when it comes to quality of taste

  • Ukh mate whatever, do whatever you want why do yoi want to know what we think? It's all up to you, you are aware of who you are and you're religion and god gave you free will.

  • it is NOT worth it lol. not at alllll.

    • Why not?

  • It's up to you whether you want to stick to your convictions or sell out under the influence of peer pressure.

    If you do something that's against what you openly admit to believing, you're a hypocrite. If you don't believe any longer, feel free, but the alternative is literally just giving in

    That said, I'm not entirely sure how serious this topic is with multiple choices like that

  • I'm kinda the low guy on pork, but yeah, I think it's pretty overrated man.

  • who said you'd go to hell for tasting bacon, the reason it's haram is because it's unhealthy just like it's haram to overeat to the point your immobile. but try it, it's not as great as it's made out to be (i tried it lmao)

    • It is forbidden by Allah. We cannot eat it. Everyday this question gets more answers and I still have not eaten this. I feel I am strengthening my faith.

    • lmao ur hilarious, sinning once does not mean you go to hell. as long as your good deeds outweigh the bad and you don't commit shirk but good for u

  • It is a very fatty very salty piece of meat and if you are a vegetarian it will likely make you sick. Will you feel bad eating an animal?

    • I'm not vegetarian. I eat beef and chicken and lamb and fish

    • Then you will probably be ok or only a slight stomach ache

  • It's just bacon.

  • I just say its not worth it... bacon is just bad for your health all the way. too much fat and not enough health.

  • They have turkey and beef bacon you know...

    • I know this but I want to try the pork one most. I have never had this meat

    • I've never had it either. Not interested.
