"On the Day of Resurrection a neck will stretch
forth from Hell; it will have two eyes to see, two
ears to hear, and a tongue to speak. It will say, "I
have been appointed to take care of three types
of people: every arrogant tyrant, every person
who called on some deity other than Allah and
those who made pictures" [At-Tirmidthi ]
Take down that picture of Martin Luther King.
Remove all pictures of animals and people from
your walls, destroy any idol statues.
If you have a job where your boss insists that you
decorate, such as is often required for teachers,
decorate with ribbons, colored cotton, and other
creative decorations, but do not succumb to
hanging up images.
Take down that calendar with pictures of 'cute,
cuddly' animals on it.
Allow your child to play with dolls if you so
desire. Keep in mind that the dolls during the
Prophet's time were simple "rag" or "sock" dolls
without animated human features or intricate
'life-like' detail.
Do not hang up your child's pictures of animals,
people, or anything worshipable, and don't let the
schools do it with your children, either. Limit
drawing to educational purposes.
Do not mix images and religion. Allah sees all
intentions.
