Muslims do not worship pictures. Muslims worship Allah (SWT). And in Islam, it is forbidden to worship pictures and to have Human pictures (photos) in their house. They could have nature paintings (such as flowers, waterfalls, etc.) but nothing that resembles Humans or animals.

Christians do not worship pictures, although some Christians reverence pictures (called proskynesis), and other Christians reject this practice as well. In Christianity, these religious pictures are called icons. They are generally pictures of Jesus, the Holy Family, Old Testament prophets and the saints of the Church. Pictures of Mary (the mother of Jesus) are a very popular theme of icons.

How can you ensure that you do not worship false idols?

Answer'Idols' is a derogatory term used by one religion about the holy images of another religion. To a Christian, an image of Jesus is not an idol, but images of the gods of other religions are 'idols'. So, the concept of false idols relies on knowing which religion is right for you, and only worshipping the God or gods of that religion. And the safest way to avoid worshipping false idols is to not worship any god at all - after all many say that there really is no God.
