"Unlike a popular misunderstanding, however, figural photos is a vital facet of Islamic art. Such
pictures take place mainly in secular and also specifically courtly arts as well as appear in a wide
range of media as well as in most periods as well as locations where Islam thrived. It is necessary to
keep in mind, however, that representational photos is virtually usually restricted to an exclusive
context. Figurative fine art is excluded from the design of religious monoliths. This lack may be
associateded with an Islamic loathing towards anything that may be mistaken for idolizers or
idolatry, which are clearly prohibited by the Qur'an."

I asked as soon as regarding why there
were no pictures in cathedrals and the
repeated response I acquired was that they
wished to lower everything that can
distract the worshippers from their
prayers.So indeed go on and attract
animals, plants as well as folks, merely no
images of exactly what you assume God
looks like according to the Immams I
asked.
