Why are there no images of God in the Quran or in mosques?

Answer 1

There are no pictures if anyone in a mosque. The ban on images of people led to the development of the detailed and beautiful calligraphy that is the principle adornment of mosques and other Islamic religious items. There are no pictures of Allah or any living things in a Mosque because the Second Commandment expressly prohibits it.

2nd Commandment;

KJV "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.."

Answer 2

Answer AFor many reasons:

• Idols and pictures could distract Muslims during their praying or Salat
• Muslims worship only Allah (God in English); the one and only one God with no partner, no son, no companion, no associate, and no equivalence. God is not seen. Accordingly how to shape God in picture. There is no original or real picture to Prophet Muhammad. So, any picture will be fake.
• Idols and pictures of living souls are forbidden in all religions.

  For example, the Second Commandment expressly prohibits it. KJV "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.."

• They are avoided to avoid by time being worshiped or used as mediator in praying for God or in requesting support and guidance from Him; as observed in some other religions.

Answer B:Same reason why there are none in a synagogue. God is unseen. We can not know what God "looks like". And since we worship only God, we do not mix images of created beings in the place of worship. One of the ten commandments is: "Thou shalt not take unto thyself any graven images". The avoidance of images of creatures with a soul is also upheld in Islam. We worship an unseen God - not a human being who people mistake for God - nor any so called saints. We worship the One, Unseen God ALONE. God has guided us.

Answer 3

Almighty Allah has no Physical being. There is nothing like Him. No one can see Him. When Hazrat Moses (AS) begged Almighty Allah to show Himself to him, a lightening fell on the Mountain of Toor and Hazrat Moses (Peace be upon him) fell unconscious.

Answer 4

In Sunni Islam, images of people are considered an attempt at creation in mockery of God. While such images may be acceptable outside of a sacred space, they are not permitted within a mosque (which is a sacred space).

Answer 5

because Islam says there is only one deity

pictures/statues are forbidden

Answer 6

Because They believe that instead of staring at a picture of Allah there god they want to comunicate with the real god instead of looking at a picture., we got taught this today in R.E :-)

Answer 7

They don't have pics of gods or prophets because no one knows how they look and we respect that, but we can have pics of other stuff.

Answer 8

Because Muslims don't draw pictures of living beings with faces and eyes because they cannot copy the image of the creation of God. Only God is perfect.

Religiously, Muslims do not belive in a physical depiction in any of God, or Allah
