Q
What is the significance of the depiction of prophets in Islamic tradition, and why might it be problematic?
A
The Prophet (ﷺ) entered the Ka`ba and found in it the pictures of (Prophet) Abraham and Mary. On that
he said’ “What is the matter with them ( i.e. Quraish)? They have already heard that angels do not
enter a house in which there are pictures; yet this is the picture of Abraham. And why is he depicted as
practicing divination by arrows?”
