− The Promised Messiah and Mahdi writes about "Why as − Eating the Flesh of Swine is Prohibited": "One matter to be kept in mind in this context is that in the very name of the animal, God has indicated the reason for the prohibition of its flesh. The Arabic word for swine is which Khinzir − is compound of and , which means: I see it very foul. Khanz Ara − Thus the very name that God Almighty gave to this animal at the beginning points to its uncleanliness. It is a curious coincidence that in Hindi this animal is called , which is a compound of and Suar Su − − Ara. This also means: I see it very foul. . . . Everyone knows that it − eats filth and is utterly shameless. Thus, the reason for the prohibition of its flesh is obvious, as by the law of nature its flesh would have a foul effect on the body, and the soul of one who eats it. . . . . Even in pre-Islamic times, Greek physicians had opined that − the flesh of this animal particularly damages the faculty of modesty and fosters shamelessness.
