Another Supposed Drawing of the Prophet

[Leonardo17]

Who has a picture of the prophet? I need to know so I don't accidentally draw something like it

I wrote this somewhere else today. The 7th century AD is the era of iconoclasm. In the Byzantine Empire paintings of Christ and the Virgin are being painted over and/or replaced with a simple cross. It seems like religious leaders of the era want to transcend our basic/human, simplistic understanding of God (Basically a human-like father-like figure who can grant wished if you ask him and can punish you if you disobey him – See “The Brand New Testament – 2016 / Jakko Van Dormael). Instead they wanted people to believe in and accept a Universal type of God who is unseen and unlike anything we may come into contact with in this world.






 
The Prophet of Islam takes this to a new level. He not only asks that no drawing be make of him, Even the Hadith (Words of wisdom that were told by the prophet to his followers) were not allowed to be written on paper. The “Hadith” we have today started to appear two centuries after the death of the prophet based on oral tradition. So the only thing he left us with is a book that was dictated to him while in a trance-like state. (That’s also how the Book “A Course in Miracles” came into being as well).
 
So Zebo is correct. We don’t actually know anything about the appearance of the prophet (although they might be some vague description of him in some old document based on oral tradition as well).
 
So technically: You cannot draw the prophet.

So, a picture of some random guy with a beard would be ok?

You don’t care about baseless religious extremism pushing the most ignorant people around us to vandalize one of the oldest satiric magazines that has been around here since the 1980's?
 
You know this L-Man magazine is also the sister magazine of Charlie Hebdo that was attacked by similar minded people in 2015.
 
So I’m not even promoting religious tolerance here. Only reminding that you don’t kill or arrest cartoonists. They’re here to make people laugh no matter whatever it is they chose as a subject to do that. It’s only for a good laugh.

It’s against the rules to misquote another member of the forum. Don’t do it again.
