Best Answer

The stronger prohibition on Mohammed's face than any other form of facial representation (such as photographs or movies) is to prevent the development of a cult of deification of Mohammed. Having pictures of the prophet would inspire prophet-worship and idolatry (since they would be worshiping towards an image). This is violation of monotheism and reverence to God. Therefore, it is considered problematic.
