Mehrab Minbar Dekka Chair Of Quran Writing
Drawing and Statues

The Holy Quran did not allow making images , yet it had prohibited making the statues devoted some one else that GOD ( Allah) in Sura El Maeda 90

Abu Horeira said ``i heard Prophet Mohamed ( SW) saying ``each Photographer is in hell , each image be made will become life by which he will be tortured in Hell `` .

Ebn Abass said ``if it a matter of a must then make trees and things of no souls ``

Ebn Abas said ``i Heard Prophet Mohamed ( SW) saying ``the one made an image in life he will be authorized in the Day of judgement to put life into it and he will not able to ``

This Prophibitations in the Quran for the statues and the Preventation Hadith of Prophet Mohamed ( SW) was necessary for Islam , so that adoration of Imagery would not return once more after terminating it .

If Images were to placed in the Mosque , the prayers performer will be distorted , rather than bringing to the minds house of imagery , as mosques were specified for adoring mighty GOD ``Sura el anaam 18

It is known that imaging human or making images for God was prohibited for the jews in El Talmuud


Therefore , plant and engineer decorations were preferable even the plant decorations were more symbolic , in which the artist avoided making faces and creatures in the religious places like what we see in el Sakhra`s Dome and the Omawain Mosque or in Egypt in the decorations in Amr Ebn el as Mosque , or Ahmen Ebn Tulun .

In the Seljukian Architecture we find images for Animals, birds on some relegious buildings . We see on side of the ratter door for the Big Mosque in ``Denergi ``Turkey a protrusive sculpture for a Two headed eagle surrounded by rectangular , also we find protrusive sculpture in a human shape on the gate of Alaa el din`s Mosque in Nigde ( 620 H / 1223 AD) and sculpture of animals shape on the gate of Tschörgibii Yük`s angle in Nik sar of the 13 th AD century , also animal and human sculpture were found on the graves in the 13 Th AD century in Afyon`s Karahisar in Turkey

- While in Egypt we find remainders of the Fatmids castles in the Islamic Museum in Cairo that form images for Persons and animals in the Othmanic Age drawing of flowers dominated . We find it in El Geoushy Mosque in (1144 H / 1731 ) also flowers drawings in white dominated on a black back ground in the ceiling we see it in the ceiling of Seheimi House ( Cairo- Egypt 1796 AD ) and the palace of Abas the first ( destructed) in the first half of 19 th century .
