Why are there no representation of the Prophet Muhammad adorning mosques?
There are no representations of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) adorning mosques for the following reasons:

Hence, any representations of prophet Muhammad adorning mosques are avoided to avoid by time paying excessive respect to these representations that my lead by time to some forms of polytheism or hanotheism.
