The Prophet entered upon me while there was a curtain having pictures (of animals) in the house. His face got red with
anger, and then he got hold of the curtain and tore it into pieces. The Prophet said, "Such people as paint these pictures will
receive the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection ."
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 3.428
Narrated by
Said bin Abu Al Hasan
While I was with Ibn 'Abbas a man came and said, "O father of 'Abbas! My sustenance is from my manual profession and I
make these pictures." Ibn 'Abbas said, "I will tell you only what I heard from Allah's Apostle. I heard him saying, 'Whoever
makes a picture will be punished by Allah till he puts life in it, and he will never be able to put life in it.' " Hearing this, that man
heaved a sigh and his face turned pale. Ibn 'Abbas said to him, "What a pity! If you insist on making pictures I advise you to
make pictures of trees and any other unanimated objects."

Hadith 5276
AbuHurayrah
Narrated by
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: Angels do not enter the house in which there areportrayals or
pictures.
PIETY:
22:37 - It is not their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah: it is your piety that reaches Him: He
has thus made them subject to you that ye may glorify Allah for His guidance to you: and
proclaim the Good News to all who do right. 2815
2815 The essence of sacrifice has been explained in n. 2810. No one should suppose that meat or blood is acceptable to
the One True God. It was a Pagan fancy that Allah could be appeased by blood sacrifice. But Allah does accept the
offering of our hearts, and as a symbol of such offer, some visible institution is necessary. He has given us power over
the brute creation, and permitted us to eat meat, but only if we pronounce His name at the solemn act of taking life, for
without this solemn invocation, we are apt to forget the sacredness of fife. By the invocation we are reminded that
wanton cruelty is not in our thoughts, but only the need of food. Now if we further deny the greater part of the food
(some theologians fix the proportion at three-quarters or two-thirds) for the sake of our poorer brethren in solemn
assembly in the precincts of the Haram (sacred territory), our symbolic act finds practical expression in benevolence,
and that is the virtue sought to be taught. We should be grateful to Allah for His guidance in this matter, in which many
Peoples have gone wrong, and we should proclaim the true doctrine so that virtue and charity may increase among
men. (22.37)
5:2 - Help ye one another in righteousness and piety but help ye not one another in sin and rancor:
fear Allah: for Allah is strict in punishment. 686687688689690
690 See n. 205 to ii. 191. In the sixth year of the Hijra the Pagans, by way of hatred and persecution of the Muslims, had
prevented them from access to the Sacred Mosque. When the Muslims were re-established in Makkah, some of them
wanted to retaliate. Passing from the immediate event to the general principle, we must not retaliate or return evil for
evil. The hatred of the wicked does not justify hostility on our part. We have to help each other in righteousness and
piety, not in perpetuating feuds of hatred and enmity. We may have to fight and put down evil, but never in a spirit of
malice or hatred, but always in a spirit of justice and righteousness. (5.2)
10:31 - Say: "Who is it that sustains you (in life) from the sky and from the earth? Or who is it that
has power over hearing and sight? And who is it that brings out the living from the dead and
the dead from the living? And who is it that rules and regulates all affairs?" They will soon say
"Allah." Say "Will ye not then show piety (to Him)?" 1422142314241425
1425 This is the general summing-up of the argument. The government of the whole Creation and
its maintenance and sustenance is in the hands of Allah. How futile then would it be to neglect
His true worship and go after false gods? (10.31)
1426 The wonderful handiwork and wisdom of Allah having been referred to, as the real Truth, as
against the false worship and false gods that men set up, it follows that to disregard the Truth
must lead us into woeful wrong, not only in our beliefs but in our conduct. We shall err and
stray and be lost. How then can we turn away from the Truth? (10.32)
49:3 - Those that lower their voice in the presence of Allah's Apostle their hearts has Allah tested
for piety: for them is Forgiveness and a great Reward. 4922
