"Ummul Momineen Aisha (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہا)
said: I stuffed for the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و
آله وسلم) a pillow decorated
with pictures (of animals) which looked like a Namruqa (i.e. a small cushion).
"
In another Ahadith of Bukhari and also of other Aimma, we
have described above that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم)
allowed Aisha (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہا) to play with dolls which were made like
humans and animals. And the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و
آله وسلم) allowed her to play
with them.
Therefore, it is obvious that (in Hadith # 5 above) the pictures on the
cushion were objectionable and this was the reason the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) stopped using that cushion.
Also refer to Hadith # 4 above, it is clearly mentioned that
the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) used the pillow which contained animated
pictures (Hadith Bukhari Book 43 #,
Hadith # 659).
PICTURES DRAWN OR TAKEN FOR UNLAWFUL PURPOSES ARE FORBIDDEN
IN ISLAM
The following Ahadith clearly specify prohibition of
pictures drawn or taken for unlawful purposes like worship, immorality, hatred,
satire, etc.
(1) It is in Hadith - Narrated by Ummul Momineen Aisha (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہا) : Um Habiba (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہا) and Um Salama (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہا)
mentioned about a Church they had seen in Ethiopia in which there were
pictures. They told the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و
آله وسلم) about it, on which
he said, "If any religious man dies amongst those people (Christians) they
would build a place of worship at his grave (considering him to be divine) and
make these pictures in it. They will be the worst creature in the sight of
Allah Ta'ala on the Day of Resurrection."
(Bukhari - Book #8, Hadith #419).
(2) It is in Hadith - Narrated by Abu Juhaifa (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ):
"I saw my father buying a slave whose profession was cupping, and ordered
that his instruments (of cupping) be broken. I asked him the reason for doing
so. He replied, "Allah's Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم)
prohibited taking money for blood, the price of a dog and the earnings of a
slave-girl by prostitution; he cursed her who tattoos and her who gets
tattooed, the eater of Riba (usury), and the maker of pictures (for bad
purposes)". (Bukhari - Book #34, Hadith #440)
(3) It is in Hadith - Narrated by Ibn Abbas (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ): 'When the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و
آله وسلم) saw pictures in the
Ka'ba, he did not enter it till he ordered them to be erased. When he saw (the
pictures of Abraham - علیھ السلا م and Ishmael - علیھ السلا م
carrying the arrows of divination), he said, "May Allah (Ta'ala) curse
them (the Quraish)! By Allah, neither Abraham (علیھ السلا م) nor
Ishmael (علیھ السلا م) practiced divination by arrows." (Bukhari - Book #55, Hadith #571).
(4) It is in Hadith - Narrated by Abdullah bin Umar (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ): Allah's Apostle (صلى الله عليه و
آله وسلم) said, "Those
who make these pictures (for worship) will be punished on the Day of
Resurrection and it will be said to them. 'Make alive what you have
created.' (Bukhari - Book #72, Hadith
#835).
(5) It is in Hadith - Narrated by Said bin Abu Al-Hassan (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) - "While I was with Ibn 'Abbas (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) a man came and said, "O father of 'Abbas
(رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ)! My sustenance is from my manual profession and I make
these pictures." Ibn 'Abbas (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) said, "I will tell you only what I heard from Allah's
Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم). I heard him saying, 'Whoever makes a
picture (for prohibited usage) will be punished by Allah Ta'ala till he puts
life in it, and he will never be able to put life in it.' Hearing this, that
man heaved a sigh and his face turned pale. Ibn 'Abbas (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) said to him, "What a pity! If you
insist on making pictures, I advise you to make pictures of trees and any other
un-animated objects." (Bukhari).
(6) It is in Hadith - "On the Day of Resurrection a
neck will stretch forth from Hell; it will have two eyes to see, two ears to
hear, and a tongue to speak. It will say, "I have been appointed to take
care of three types of people: every arrogant tyrant, every person who called
on some deity other than Allah Ta'ala and those who made (forbidden)
pictures" (Tirmidhi)
(7) It is in Hadith - Narrated by Ummul Momineen Maymunah (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہا)
"One morning Allah's Messenger (صلى الله عليه و
آله وسلم) was silent with
grief. Ummul Momineen Maymunah (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہا) said: Allah's Messenger (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), I find a change in your mood today. Allah's Messenger (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) said: Gabriel ( علیھ السلا م )
had promised me that he would meet me last night, but he did not meet
me. By Allah, he never broke his promises; and Allah's Messenger (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) spent the day in this sad (mood). Then it occurred to him that
there had been a puppy under their cot. He gave an order and it was turned out.
He then took some water in his hand and sprinkled it on the place. When it was
evening Gabriel ( علیھ السلا م ) met him and he said to him: You promised me that you would
meet me the previous night. He said: Yes, but we do not enter a house in which
there is a dog or a picture. So the very next morning he commanded the dogs to
be killed. He announced that the dog kept for the orchards should also be
killed, but he spared the dog used for the protection of extensive fields (or
big gardens). (Muslim).
The above Hadith establishes the fact that keeping dogs as
pets inside the houses is prohibited.
However, keeping dogs for self protection or protection of live stock
and extensive fields / large gardens is allowed provided they are kept outside
the house.
Similarly, hanging of pictures (of deities or scantily clad film / sport persons or
pictures which are forbidden in Islam)
are not allowed to be hanged on the walls of the house.
Why we do not have the picture of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) or other prominent Sahaba?
Why we all Muslims are so sensitive if someone draws an image of Prophet
Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم)?
It is because Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم)
did not permit people to draw his
picture.
There are some exclusive Awliya Allah in the world who have
direct spiritual access to Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم)
by way of unveiling (Kashf - spiritual vision) or otherwise. There are some
others who see Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و
آله وسلم) in their
dreams. However, no one attempts to draw
the picture of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و
آله وسلم) because he did not
allow it during his life time.
