Miracles of the Qur’an

In addition to all this, blood is not suitable for use as
a food product. The level of digestible proteins such as albumin, globulin
and fibrinogen is low - just 8 grams in 100 milliliters of blood. The same
applies to fats. In addition, blood contains a high level of hemoglobin, a
complex protein that is very difficult to digest and is unacceptable to the
stomach. When blood clots, the protein fibrinogen gives rise to a plate
containing erythrocyte - red blood corpuscles. It then transforms into
“fibrin,”, one of the hardest proteins to digest. In today’s world, health ex-
perts agree that blood is unfit for human consumption in any form.
After saying: "Unlawful for you are carrion, blood and pork, and
what has been consecrated to other than Allah, and animals which have
been strangled, and animals which have been killed by a blow, and an-
imals which have fallen to their death, and animals which have been
gored, and animals which wild beasts have eaten – except those you are
able to slaughter properly – and animals which have been sacrificed on
altars, and deciding things by means of divining arrows – that is de-
viance..." Almighty Allah goes on to say…" But if anyone is forced by

hunger, not intending any wrongdoing, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most
Merciful" (meaning that an exception can be made.) (Surat
al-Ma'ida, 3)
Abiding this law of Allah, people of the time were
protected against a threat of which they were unaware.
It is clear that those who believe and trust in Allah are
more likely to prosper. Those who comply with
His commandments and prohibitions will enjoy
auspicious lives in this world and the
Hereafter, living under our Lord’s Protection
and Infinite Mercy.
