severest punishment from God
will be the picture makers.
(Sahih Bukhari, Book 72,
Hadith 834)

punished by God till he puts life
in it, and he will never be able to
put life in it. (Sahih Bukhari,
Book 34, Hadith 428)
The most grievously tormented
people on the Day of Resurrec-
tion would be the painters of pic-
tures. (Sahih Muslim, Book 24,

The painter of these pictures will
be punished on the Day of Res-
urrection, and it will be said to
them, "Make alive what you
have created." (Sahih Bukhari,
Book 93, Hadith 646)
