As for bacon, pigs are known to carry a parasite that causes a deadly disease known as trichinosis. Improperly cooked pork can kill you.
Arabs saw these things and researched the writings of past societies and made a choice that in their philosophy one should abstain from such actions
You'd see that as just a natural thing with no God involved but to an anciet God is EVERYTHING around them except for what humanity does to sin against it. They'd see nature causing harmful effects from partaking in these actions as a very legitimate sign that they should not partake in these actions
There is a disconnect today in understanding that everything in nature runs on God except for the unnatural stuff we put there. If you get sick from eating pork then that is God, the mechanism God uses is the parasite. If tech advances where it no longer has the harm then in a natural sense the risk is there
Many of these bans on things like eating shellfish, eating pork, fucking your relatives, fucking women on their periods, and men fucking men all come from the health codes of leviticus. They were ancient Israelite who saw the actions that brought disease, death, and destruction to a tribe and told their people to stop
The more science advances the more those people were actually proven right. Science has shown us fecal borne pathogens, blood borne pathogens, parasites, and inbreeding are all a thing. That only means we found the mechanism. It does not disprove the teachings
If our society were to fall all those things that killed them in the past would be exactly what starts killing us again. They will all crop back up. We are holding them at bay for now but we cannot do it forever. We'd have to fall right back on those teachings to keep our tribe from dying out if society collapses.
