Muslims are not allowed to draw picyures of living beings like people animals etc

Muslims are not allowed to draw animate objects e.g: Humans, Animals, Pets etc.

The are allowed to draw things with out a soul such as trees, flowers, objects. (Mainly man made things.) If they do so, we (Muslims) believe that on the day of judjement Allah will question us and ask us why we drew them. He will ask us to breathe life into the object and we will NOT be able to! So that is why! Carlotta.

Muslims can not draw humans and animals because they are a creation of Allah. People who draw humans and animals will be punished greatly on The Day of Judgement. You will be asked to bring the living things you drew into life because you tried to copy Allah. "He is Allaah, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms. To Him belong the Best Names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise" [al-Hashr 59:24] so please dont draw living things.

Note that the above is a Sunni view. Shiite see no wrong in drawing human or animal faces.

In Islam it is considered a sine to draw faces of the prophets and god. They say its a sin because they can not do the work of god so they just cover the faces of prophets with lights i would know i am muslim.

Unless you have an exact picture of the prophet, you dont know exactly what he looks like, so why try drawing a fake? Let people's imagination run... people who made jesus have blue eyes... seriously? People didnt have blue eyes in that area... There's no need to draw a picture of something that you have no idea of how it looked to be exact. Dont give people false pictures.

Drawing pictures of any living being is Haram except if it is not human or animal. The Ahadeeth regarding drawing, sculpturing or any similar action (whether by hand, machine or computer) state that these are Haram. The exception to the above is the reflection of the shade of reality for example in the mirror, river or on a photograph, TV, internet etc. (as long as it does not display anything Haram). The origin of images in computer games with 2D or 3D humans or animals could be from drawing or from reflection. If they are from drawing it is Haram (prohibited) to make whereas if they are from reflection it is Halal (permissible) to make. However to control them by moving them and hanging their positions and actions is Haram because it will take the role of drawing.

Answer 1

They believe only Allah can create or represent people.

Answer 2

In terms of history, Muslims made representations of people (including Mohammed) well into the early period of Islam, usually in images. In the mid-1200s onwards, the doctrine of not drawing Mohammed came to the fore to prevent Mohammed-worship. In the subsequent centuries, drawing people and animals was made illegal in Islam to prevent humans from believing that they were capable of creating living creatures from nothing like God could.
