Images in Islam
Islam, which is related to Judaism as it considers itself the monotheistic faith of Adam, Abraham, Moses, and other prophets, has a comparable prohibition which takes the form of banning representations of God, and in some cases of Muhammad, humans and, in some interpretations, any living creature. The third of the three related religions, Christianity, although there has been a considerable history of aniconism in Christianity, is largely dominated by an active tradition of making and venerating images of God and other religious figures.
