✒ Punishment For Making Image Of Living Souls

‎قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : أشد الناس عذاباً يوم القيامة المصورون يقال لهم أحيوا ما خلقتم

The Messenger of Allāh Ṣallallāhu-‘Alaihi Wa Sallam said:

“The MOST SEVERELY punished people on the Day of Resurrection would be image-makers, it will be said to them: ‘Bring to life what you have created’.”

‎● [مختصر صحيح الجامع الصغير ٩٩٩ ، صححه الألباني

Mukhtaṣar Ṣaḥīḥ al-Jāmi’ aṣ-Ṣagheer no. 999, declared ‘Authentic’ by al-Albānī]

Ibn Ḥajar al-‘Asqalānī Raḥimahullāh said in its Sharḥ (explanation):

“’Bring to life what you have created’ means that the image-maker will be commanded to blow a soul into the image which he has drawn, and he would not be able to do that, hence his punishment will continue.”
