The muslims forbid pictures in masjids as well as everywhere else. Saudi-arabia is a good eksample at that. They dont permit to even take pictures of famous places (tourist agencyes do this).
Why the hell do the saudi dollar have a picture of their king on it.
:cool

(same for other islamic countries)

every country has a picture of there nations leader.. whats wrong with that?

y do v have pics and videos of Khana Ka'aba then??? :sarc

i wrote that <(tourist agencys do this)> ekcept them why dont they let anyone take pictures.

Because the agency's probably make more money this way!!!

i dont see anything wrong with taking pictures or having a picture of kabah

i think ur suppoose to have a picture of the nations leader .....ummm i think

Awww! Gee Whiz, woe is Me. No pics.
What a situation To be In! What about Fur Shedders?

Look what he wanna say is that Taking pictures is not allowed in Islam .So why do we have Pictures .Especially of Holy Places like Kabah,Any masjid ......

oooooo i remeber writng an essay on islamic forms of art ....but i am not goin 2 rite da whole thing out...

basically, in islam, you are allowed to takes pictures, of buildings/landscapes etc, and people, as long as the person represents good, and is not of anything haraam(eg porn pix)

Well Thats Not Much To ask for from Reality itself, aint It. While It's been Upstaged Elsewhere at the Hand of Intentions.

Take islam easily.
taking pictures are allowed in some cases..
if u really have to take them.. then go ahead.. if its not important then try to avoid them! Pictures of non living things are allowed as far as i know.

on controversial topics, such as this, I just like to say one thing:
"Innma'l A'amaalu binniyyaat"
roughly transalated "Surely, actions are based on intentions"
So its the intention that counts
