DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 20th day of RAJAB (Sunday 15th of March, 2020). HANGING PHOTOS IN OUR HOMES. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
There are many hadiths which speaks against this hanging of our photos or any animated drawings on the walls, on the tables and on social media. Lets check the following ahadith from Bukhari:
Vol 8, Book 73. Good Manners And Form (Al-Adab). Hadith 130.
Narrated by our mother 'Aaisha may ALLAH be pleased with her: 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."
Vol 3, Book 34. Sales And Trade. Hadith 318. Narrated by our mother again (Mother of the faithful believers) I bought a cushion with pictures on it. When ALLAH'S Apostle saw it, he kept standing at the door and did not enter the house. I noticed the sign of disgust on his face, so I said, "O ALLAH'S Apostle! I repent to ALLAH and HIS Apostle. (Please let me know) what sin I have done." ALLAH'S Apostle said, "What about this cushion?" I replied, "I bought it for you to sit and recline on." ALLAH'S Apostle said, "The painters (i.e. owners) of these pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection. It will be said to them, 'Put life in what you have created (i.e. painted).' " The Prophet added, "The ANGELS DO NOT ENTER a house where there are pictures displayed." Angels do not fear the drawings but the fact that you are disobeying ALLAH and HIS Messenger is preventing Mercy entering your home.
Vol 4, Book 54. Beginning Of Creation. Hadith 539. Narrated By Abu Talha: The Prophet said, "ANGELS DO NOT ENTER a house witch has either a dog or a picture displayed in it."
There are many of such authentic narrations and each narration has lots of lessons in it so let's strive to avoid it. The wisdom behind it according to scholars is clear that, that's one of Satan's weapon to possess and afflict us through evil jinns. Satan also uses it to distract us from our worship, Satan uses it to influence us to use it seeking help from the death as we notice many do by looking at their saints, dead imams to make dua for help. Islam cut any link to satanic influences so let's avoid it for our own good. Snapping ourselves and our relatives to keep as memory is not haraam but don't display it to the public view and ALLAH knows best. May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
