Because Muslims worship only Allah.

By showing paintings of prophets for an example, there is a chance that people might start to worship the pictures instead of Allah, which is a sin.

Christians show pictures and statues of Jesus and some people bow for these statues and pictures. This can be seen as worshipping an idol or a statue.

This is the reason why the Prophet of Islam told us not to have pictures of human beings. It would be considered an insult to Allah.
In the past Muslim secular art did show people and animals, some of the best Indian Mughal (Muslim) art demonstrate this.

However in modern times the doctrine has moved to the point where the rules governing Islamic religious art ( which rejects the depiction of living forms) now also include all the traditional, secular arts.

Why did Muslims paintings rarely show people of animals?

In Sunni Islam, depiction of a human or animal form is considered a sin. The sin is to try and mimic God and/or usurp His position of power. As a result, most Islamic paintings and carvings lack living animals or people. However, since this was not widespread in Shiite areas or in India prior to the 20th century, we still have numerous paintings with living subjects coming from Muslims in those regions.

Where can you get paintings on Animal Crossing?

To get paintings on animal crossing you have to become a member of Crazy Redd by getting the password from someone in your town and go in by telling Redd the password and saying 'whatever' when he says do you want to join. You have to to pay 3,000 bells. He sells painting but sometimes they are forged. But if you get insurance for that and wait for Lyle to come to town and give the painting to him he will send you 100 bells (babyish I know). Nook sells them very rarely.
