Examples of Misinterpretation of the Qur'an
Here, this basic fact of this world, which is a testing ground, is made
clear in the controversy over grapes and wine. The grape, a
sustenance filled with healthy, nurturing and delicious qualities can be
distilled into a truly harmful substance with permanent and negative
effects. The same principle is true of other offerings from God such
as property, money, beauty, intelligence, office, position, power and
dominion. It is possible to use these in a manner that will please God
or for harmful and destructive purposes to displease Him.
As seen, God can transform any offering, for various reasons,
into different creations. He can make this clear in a single verse
with the same superior Wisdom. Those who are able to reason will
see the logic in God's verses and understand them. Moreover, the
continuation of the verse "There is certainly a Sign in that for
people who reason." (Surat an-Nahl: 67) sheds further light on
this subject.
In short, when the verse is read with consciousness and
attention, it can be seen that it is not contradictory at all. The
deniers' attempt to find contradiction in such obvious subjects
clearly shows their desperate situation in the face of the Qur'an.

Pork had many harmful qualities if consumed during the time of
the Qur'an, and indeed still does. First of all the pig, no matter how
hygienic the surroundings where it is raised, is still an animal that
consumes its own excrement. The metabolism of the pig produces
many antibodies in comparison to other animals, both because it
feeds on its own excrement and because of its biological make-up.
Moreover, its metabolism produces large amounts of growth
hormones compared to those of other animals and human beings.
