Hi everyone and welcome This is The Apostate Prophet
If you are interested in the arts especially in portraits
You probably know how artists have contributed
to Western culture and too many other cultures
Everyone knows about the Mona Lisa for example
Everyone has probably seen great products of Vincent Van Gogh's creativity
They are engraved in the history of Art and in the minds of so many people
Philosophies have been made on them
And they haven't caused any big form of corruption or trouble
If you make it quick search for famous artwork
You will see a lot of masterpieces by great artists in history
It all looks wonderful
One thing that you can notice if you pay attention
Is that there was basically no globally-renowned muslim artists
And no memorable piece of art coming from the Islamic world
That's not only because Western culture is in the focus
You can also see Japanese art like Hokusai or Indian artists like Amrita
To be fair there are also some islamicized culture that produced art
Like Persians and recently Turks but the point stands
Arts that depict humans or animals was never really popular in the Islamic world
Because it was seen as a corruption and a sin
Islam is against so many beauties and liberties in this world
and art is one of them
I will deal with how Islam views art and portraits

The lack of portraits in creative art in the Islamic world
is not only noticed if you go and googled
It's also noticed if you visit Muslim homes or religious Islamic places for example
In the Islamic world and among Muslims families
people usually give each other the advice to take portraits off the walls
If there are portraits
And you can never see any form of a depiction of a living being
in a mosque or Islamic religious places
The reason is Islamic of course
Formerly I made a video about dogs and Islam
And said that Angels don't enter houses where there are dogs
The same goes for pictures of creatures according to hadiths
But it's even worse
According to a very authentic Hadith
Aisha bought a cushion once that images of animals on it
When Muhammad came home, he saw that
and he asked in an angry manner what's that is
Aisha explain that she bought the cushion for his comfort
But Muhammad wasn't pleased at all
He said. "The makers of these pictures
will be punished severely on the day of resurrection
and it will be said to them make alive what you have created."
He added, "Angels do not enter a house in which there are pictures."
Can you imagine that?
People who make pictures will be punished severely
for making pictures
According to another hadith
Aisha had a curtain with pictures on it
And Muhammad became very angry and ordered her to remove it
And added that the picture still come to his mind when he prays
What could those pictures possibly do to bothering during prayer?
I mean Muhammad was not very cleaning his mind as we talked about before, but
Anyway
Apparently Muhammad didn't like pictures very much
which seems reasonable enough for him to condemn everyone who makes pictures
He hated pictures so much that he would destroy them whatever it is
It's even much worse than you think
Let's read the following hadith one of many of its kind
And then let's question again if Muhammad or the authors of hadith were saying
Or if Islam is really such a lovely and peaceful religion
The people who will receive the severest punishment from Allah will be the picture makers
In another hadith the wording is: "Those who try to make the like of Allah’s creations."
People who make pictures
So people who just decide because they love it or for any other reason
To make pictures of dogs, horses, children of humans
of anything that can be alive
Those people are the worst and they will receive the worst punishments
Seriously?
How can anyone explain this with reason?
And by reason I don't mean some both like
Well, people try to create Allah's creation and they can give it a soul which is a sin
That's complete nonsense
If that a seriously the reason then that's another reason
That's complete nonsense. It's so stupid
There is absolutely no justifying explanation behind that
I mean, what corruption?
What evil? What madness
Have portraits and other images cost so far?
Do Islamic scholars think that people start to worship an image because it looks good?
Is that related to Idol worshipping because creating images causes such a corruption?
Idols were created for religious reasons It's not the other way
It wasn't just like
People look at some great looking picture and then I’ll just make a religion for this
Even if that was the cause and I can't believe I'm even going into this
Then how many religion and act of worship happened
compared to the number of pictures in world history?
I really want to see some Muslim or Islamic scholar giving me a very reasonable explanation on this
Really, I challenge anyone on this
The condemnation of picture making doesn't just end with this
There are dozens of them and Islamic scholars roaches thousands of pieces on them
They made fatwas
And one hadith even goes further
which also shows how intolerant Islam is
Narrated by Aisha
Um Habiba and Um Salama mentioned about a church they had seen in Ethiopia
In which there were pictures
They told the prophet about it, when which he said
If any religious man dies amongst those people
They would build a place of worship at his grave and make these pictures in it
They will be the worst creature in the sight of Allah on the day of Resurrection
This means basically that's so many Christians and Hindus
And so many other people of other religions
And even people who don't follow any religion
Will be punished in the most severe way just for this
They would otherwise burn in hell forever anyway. So..
It is also forbidden to depict Allah and Muhammad and other prophets
Which I can kind of understand but I don't really care about that
But it doesn't just end with drawings
Since we can take photographs the discussions have been around forever
on whether photography is forbidden or not
The majority of Scholars have agreed that photography is not good
but it can be done for some reasons, like ID for example
And they also ruled that hanging up photos in places at home has forbidden
The majority of Islamic Sunni scholars agree on that
So when a photo hangs on the wall that means that angels will not enter your house
which means it is evil and bad
So again, if you want to keep the angel of death away just hang pictures at home
This is such nonsense
And the discussion goes on about videos, about movies and so many other things
But those are completely different issue So I don't really want to go into that right now
Because the discussion about the video, movies
and stuff like that includes more than just some stupid explanations like
Imitating the creation of Allah
So if you think that Islam is a totally fine and beautiful religion
And if you have photos hanging on your walls at home
of parents, friends, relatives, people you look up to, or even your children
You should probably know that Islam condemns you for that
And that in an Islamic system, in an Islamic World such beautiful things are not welcome
If Muhammad came to your home you would have destroyed all those pictures
Because that's also in a Hadith
If you love pictures or if you make them yourselves
You should also be aware on the Islamic stance on that
Islam says that you are the worst
And that Allah will punish you in the worst way ever in hell
Because you make pictures
All the great artists that contributed to the cultures of so many peoples
Of so many nations are condemned
And they are seen as the worst by Muhammad and Allah
That is how much Islam appreciate culture and development
Imagine
Leonardo da Vinci, Michaelangelo,
Picasso, Frida Kahlo,
Donatello, Van Gogh,
Pollock, Vermeer,
Rembrandt, Claude Monet
They will all burn in hell in the worst way
I'm so glad I'm not part of this horrible religion anymore
