The hadith is very explicit that those who make and keep graven images (أصنام) as well as painted pictures of objects or living things (صور) will be damned and not allowed into heaven. As such, Islamic scholars have traditionally condemned both actions as haram. Modern Arabic uses the same word for a painted picture as for a photograph, so there is controversy amongst modern Islamic scholars whether photography or even cinematography should be allowed. | The hadith is very explicit that those who make and keep graven images (أصنام) as well as painted pictures of objects or living things (صور) will be damned and not allowed into heaven. As such, Islamic scholars have traditionally condemned both actions as haram. This sentiment is also known as ''aniconism''. Modern Arabic uses the same word for a painted picture as for a photograph, so there is controversy amongst modern Islamic scholars whether photography or even cinematography should be allowed. Depictions of living things have been documented at specific times and places in Islamic history. In general the strictest attitude to aniconism is found in modern Salafism, while the most relaxed attitude is found in Sufism and Shi'a Islam. | ||

When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) arrived in Mecca, '''he refused to enter the Ka`ba while there were idols in it. So he ordered that they be taken out. The pictures of the (Prophets) Abraham and Ishmael, holding arrows of divination in their hands, were carried out.''' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "May Allah ruin them (i.e. the infidels) for they knew very well that they (i.e. Abraham and Ishmael) never drew lots by these (divination arrows). Then the Prophet (ﷺ) entered the Ka`ba and said. "Allahu Akbar" in all its directions and came out and not offer any prayer therein.}} | |||
