The abstention from eating pork is one of the steps taken by Islam to practice hygiene and to attain purity of soul. There is a saying in English that "a man becomes what he eats". According to physicians and medical experts, pork is a harmful diet. The Qur’an has prohibited the swine-flesh, hence why Muslims would not touch it. The Bible has also forbidden swine-flesh, but Christians but most will still consume it.
The life of a man is a compound of body and soul. Anything, which is harmful for the body, hurts the soul as well.
