From now on, Tabligh News will be published without any posing pictures, InshaAllah.

It’s against our religion to be photographed. It’s also prohibit POSING for photographs or Videos. Posed photos in particular may be seen as a show of pride. Posing is for filmed or photographed for movies that’s haram for Muslims.

Photographing or video clip an ijtema or religious gathering to show people is a matter of pride. And Islam is forbidden to be proud!

Therefore, as a true Muslim, as a Ummah of Prophet (PBUH) and as a followers of Hazratji, we must refrain from this act.

Masjid and religious places rules also against posing for photos or videos.

Darul Uloom, India’s issued a fatwa declaring photography and that particular career path “unlawful and a sin.”

“Photography is un-Islamic,” Vice Chancellor of Darul Uloom, Mufti Abdul Qasim Nomani, told, “Muslims are not allowed to get their photos clicked unless it is for an identity card or for making a passport.”

When asked about the fact that Saudi Arabia allows photography in the holiest of Islamic cities, Mecca, going so far as to beam live coverage through the year, Nomani stuck to his guns saying, “Let them do it. We do not allow it. Not everything they do is correct.”

“Just because they are richer than us doesn’t mean they are also correct,” added All India Muslim Law Personal Board member Mufti Abul Irfan Qadri Razzaqi. “If they are allowing photography they will be answerable on the Day of Judgement in the court of Allah SWT.”

Islam did not permit idol or image worship, which is why the Prophet did not allow his portrait to be made. This is why images of human beings, whether in the form of a drawing or photograph, are not encouraged.

Tabligh Ameer Hazratji’s most disliked act is, “not to take any pictures of all religious gatherings including Ijtema”!

But we are taking photos of all religious gatherings including Ijtema and publishing them on dirty social media.

We sin knowingly. Repent now, come back in repentance.

May Allah forgive us.
