molana, agla sawal UP se aya hai, mister rahul sharma ka. unhon ne likha hai: "Why is pork and alcohol prohibited in Quran? For thousands of years, people are consuming pork without any ill effects. There is no scientific proof that pork is bad for health. It is also strange that Quran promises freely available wine in heaven. If alcohol is bad, then why is it allowed in heaven? Kindly explain this."
