    I know this is a sensitive subject But I am wondering exactly what is allowed if anything? What I mean is: Can a favorable depiction of Muhammad be displayed as in a sculpture saying he was one of the most imporntant law givers in history?

    Actually I believe that 99.99% or 99% of Muslim scholars and sheikhs and clerics against it, but some Shia do so (drawings) not sculptures, According to my own studies, making sculpture isn't allowed (of animals - humanbeings) trees, mountains OK, That's what I Undrestand it from many Haddeeths. but I'm not a scholar It is better to ask a scholar.

    Asalamu aleykum!
    dirk_pitt. There is a clear visdome behind forbiding these kinds of sculptures/pictures as they tend to lead to idoltary. The first idols ever worshipped was -according to the famous companion ibn Abbas- due to some people wanting to honor their righteous preceedors. As time flue by, the later generations forgot the reason behind these old scuptures and started worshipping them. We see an interesting similtude with the catholics of today, ever noticed how often people bow down to a statue of the blessed Mary, asking and praying to her without even considering their comitting shirk?

    The beauty of islam is that it doesnt want you to get in the filth in the first place, that is to say; instead of just forbidding the sin it self it locks all paths leading to the sin aswell. This is why, the prophet (sallalaahu alayhi wa salam) , when praised by his companions one day, told them: "Do not over praise me as the christians over-praised the son of Mary. I am His slave so say: 'Allah's slave and messenger' [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim] and he also forbade his companions to make his grave into a place of worship.
