As-salaamu `alaykum

Thank you sister. Just so you're aware I was calm as usual and not at all angry (and hardly am angry). If that is the image I gave and have given in the past them I am deeply sorry, since anger is the last face I would want to show towards a believer. I asked you because I wanted to hear you out. I wasn't asking out of disgust, but simply for clarification/confirmation. May Allah reward you for your lengthly reply, and for your good intentions behind this idea. However, there are elements to your idea which I cannot agree with, which is why I wanted to double-check to make sure I did understand your intent.

Perhaps you're unaware, but I am no knowledgeable person of Islaam. I'm a beginner like you. I was not always practicing Islaam and was at one point far from it. But all praise is to Allaah who guided me at a young age. Having said that, I am well aware what animes are. I myself grew up in an environment where they were popular... watching and owning plenty myself. I know how violent, bloody, obscene and unislamic they often are. I also know that you didn't intend to recreate these themes in your proposition, and I do understand you intend nothing but good with your character and show. May Allaah keep you on this path of seeking to do good for His sake, aameen.

However, I did say in the start of this post that there is something I don't agree with. That is the issue of drawing and sculpturing animate beings (and more particularly, their faces). My reasons for this have been outlined by the Prophet, sall-Allaahu `alayhi wasallam,

On the authority of Abu Hurairah (ra) it is reported that the Messenger of Allah said: "Allah , Most High said: "And who is more unjust than those who try to create the likeness of My creation? Let them create an atom, or let them create a wheat grain, or let them create a barley grain.""
[Narrated by Al-Bukhârî and Muslim]

In commentating this hadeeth, the scholar and reviver of Islaam, Shaykh Muhammad Ibn `Abd Al-Wahhaab said,

"Allah, Most High, informs us in this Hadith Qudsi, through the mouth of His Prophet, Muhammad , that there is none more unjust than those people who make pictures of living things, wishing to resemble Allah in His act of Creation. Then He , Almighty, All-powerful, challenges such people to create even the smallest and most insignificant of His visible, living creations, which is an atom, or to create the simplest of plant materials, such as a grain of wheat or a grain of barley; this He , Most High, does, in order to expose their weakness and inability."
[Kitâb At-Tawhîd, ch.58]

The Prophet (sall Allaahu `alayhi wasallam) also stated,

"The most severely punished of people on the Day of Resurrection will be those who try to make the like of Allah's creation."
[Narrated by Al-Bukhârî and Muslim]

"Every picture maker is in the Fire. A soul will be placed in every picture made by him and it will punish him in the Hell-fire."
[Narrated by Al-Bukhârî and Muslim]

In light of this, maybe Haneen can be represented in some other medium, like as a story book for children? This would be better inshaa' Allaah. You're probably far more creative than me, so I'm sure you can come up with a great alternative! Anyway this is the issue I wanted to bring to your attention, since the threat in those statements of Allaah and His Messenger (sall Allaahu `alayhi wasallam) are rather severe.

As I said earlier, I like most kids was fond of manga and anime, and definitely drew them, so I understand the situation and hardship associated with this hobby and its imbalance with the hadeeths I mentioned. But remember sister, anything sacrificed for the sake of Allaah will be repaid to us with even better.

It's probably worth mentioning that the sole reason for me mentioning this to you, isn't because I'm some self-righteous person who goes around calling everything haraam and barking at everything, while doing the same myself. But rather the point was to fulfill my duty to you, by informing you and advising you on this issue from an Islamic perspective. It is done out of a concern for you and for clarifying Islaam's take on this issue, not for something else.

To be honest sister, I don't like telling people what is right and wrong unless there is an absolute need for it, or I am asked (and able to respond). I don't like the image it gives, yet as a mod, it is my duty to do so if no one else does.

Having said that, I'm a bit disappointed that even after five days, not a single brother or sister who viewed and/or replied to this thread spoke on this matter, as I'm pretty sure that a number of those who replied are aware of these narrations/this issue. To those brothers and sisters, please don't always leave it to us. The duty of da`wah is on your shoulders too. Perhaps if you speak and advise, you will be rewarded with good, and two burdens will be lifted from us (mods). One is that you lessen our moderating tasks (which are burdens since we will be questioned for our actions), and the second, you may save us from a sin (for advising if we don't practice something etc.). In addition to this, when it is always us who reply, it creates that "haraam police" image, which isn't a good thing. Yet if you reply, that image is lessened.

Anyway, I think this is as much as I can say at this point. I hope I haven't upset or offended anyone of you.

That's fine, I'm leaving TTI

Asalamu alaikum wr wb everyone!

Fine then. It seems that creativity and art is not welcomed here. I'll move my art work and stories somewhere else. I'll leave TTI for the righteous and good Muslims. I don't know why I thought this would actually be a good idea. You guys have a problem with everything anyone does. You don't seem to appreciate something because it's different for because you've seen only the negative side of the story.

If you listen to music, you're a sinner. If you dress in pretty scarves, you're salacious. If you talk to the opposite gender, you're a fornicator. If you draw pictures, you're an idolater. If you disagree, you're an enemy, a traitor against Islam. No matter what someone does, you all seem to have a problem with it. Whatever happened to individuality? Does anyone here have a personality of their own? Is everyone here in the same cage? I don't understand. It's so stupid. One sister here decided to become a makeup artist (mashaAllah) and everyone is fine. No complaints. If it is such a horrible sin to have a passion for art, a talent Lord Allah gave me, then I'm a sinner.
I'm not giving up my love for drawing because you fanatics don't like it.
I'm leaving TTI for good. I'm not respected here.
I hate it here. I'm so upset that you guys would do this. I would never do anything haraam or evil. TTI was an outlet for me to escape from my problems and make friends with sisters, but now, it's not the same as it used to be. I don't care if you delete this thread, I'll always have my dreams. You can't delete those. Alhamdulilah.

I loved you all... :girl3:

Good-bye,

Lool sister calm down. You are saying this because you are sad and you don't really mean it.
You said many wrong things there. You are not an idolator if you simply draw pictures like landscapes, natures, forests etc. You are not a fornicator if you speak to the opposite gender in fact its not zina if you are alone with a woman and touching her... And I think if you sin very much especially if you commit major sins then you are a sinner but making small sins then thats another thing Allahu A'lam.

Sister you are one of the most respected members here, I have seen many threads about you, people have asked about you, worried about even made a YT video about you, so I think you are really respected here;)

You can draw pictures as long as it is halal and don't forget it we are not fanatics, we are only fanatics in Western definiton, believe me many non-muslims would see YOU as a fanatic!

Insh'Allah I hope you stay here with us, I think TTI will be the same as it used to be in the summer when everyone of us will have holidays and will feel well insh'Allah.

Insh'Allah I hope I didn't offend you, it's not my intention to hurt your feelings. Everything Good I have said is from Allâh, and everything bad I said is from me and Shaytan.
Wasalam alaykum

well i can understand why you're so upset but the islamic rulings on drawing are crystal clear. The basic principle in islam is that anything that leads to haram is itself haram. That makes musical instruments, free mixing between sexes and drawing animate objects haram.

these things might seem very strict and restricting especially when we know that we dont intend any harm from them. But others can misuse these things and cause trouble. It takes a while to get used to these rulings but im afraid that's what it is.

Asawrwb!

I don't agree with you. If I am to stay at TTI, I will continue my art work inshaAllah. If anyone has a problem with that, I'll leave TTI for good inshaAllah. :hijabi: There is no evil in talent. Allah (swt) gave each of us a talent. That is a blessing. I know Allah (swt) loves me and as long as He is pleased with me, I will continue good works. Why would Allah send someone to hell because they persued a passion/talent that Allah (swt) bestowed upon them in the first place? Alhamdulilah, I'm going to continue my art. :hijabi:

Assalamu allaicum wa rahmatullah wa baraktuhu dear sister

Please do not go dear sister and do not get angry, because it is our duty to correct and advice each others, especialy on so importante issues like it is drawing pictures of human beings in Islaam. It is big sin sister,and we should avoid it for the sake of Allah. Our duty is to say the truth and give dawah to each others,and your duty is to try to understand that and avoid it Inshallah.

Your leaving can not be importante than Allahs pleasure and we can not say for something that is halal when it is not.That does not make us fanatic or extrimist,only Muslims. I was also hurted many times, for even more importante things, but when you think what has higher goal, and that is learning Islam and spreadind dawah, than Inshallah you decide to stay.

Here you can read the rulling about drawing pictures in Islaam with proofs from Sunnah and I hope Inshallah you will understand it dear sister,and stay with us.:SMILY252::SMILY252::SMILY252:

May Allah bless you

Question: Is it unlawful to draw pictures and create statues and figurines? If it is unlawful, are there any exceptions?

Answered by Shiekh `Abd al-Wahhâb al-Turayrî, former professor at al-Imâm University in Riyadh

The ruling regarding image making needs to be addressed in detail:

Drawing pictures by hand of people and animals is unlawful. This is indicated by clear and unambiguous textual evidence. Ibn `Abbâs relates that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever makes an image in this world, he will be requested to breathe life into it on the Day of Resurrection, but he will not be able to do it.” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Mulsim]

Ibn Mas`ûd also relates that he heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say: “The severest of penalties on the Day of Resurrection will be given to image makers” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Mulsim].

Making statues of animals and people is the most unlawful aspect of image making, and it deserves the severest punishment from Allah. Drawing pictures comes second.

However, the following cases are exempted from this ruling:

1. Images used by children for playing and for learning are lawful. `Aishah said: “I used to play with dolls in front of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) with my friends …” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Mulsim] as these are a means for education and constructive play and are free from the danger of being venerated.

2. Photography does not come under the category of forbidden image making, since there are many differences between photographs and hand-rendered images. It is lawful because it is an act of capturing a reflection like the reflection of an image on a mirror. Most importantly, the problem of human emulation of the creative process is not as it is with painting and sculpture.

And Allah knows best.

Feeling low
Brother Al Kashmiri has explained it very well. It might sound harsh but we don't make it as we follow what is under Islam Jurisdiction. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your hobbies or desire for sake of ALLAH. Ex: I've been a avid guitarist but when I came to know its not allowed I just left it I still have the urge but I don't touch it at all.

Some hadiths which our beloved Prophet Mohammed Sallalahu Alayhis Sallam said regarding creating Images:
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The most severely punished of the people on the Day of Resurrection will be the image-makers.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5950) and Muslim (2109)

Also

What is the ruling on drawing in Islam?.

Praise be to Allaah.

Drawing is of two types:

One is drawing pictures of animate beings. It says in the Sunnah that this is forbidden. It is not permitted to draw anything that depicts animate beings, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, according to the saheeh hadeeth: “Every image maker will be in the Fire.” And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The most severely punished of people on the Day of Resurrection will be the image-makers, those who tried to imitate the creation of Allaah.” And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The makers of these images will be punished on the Day of Resurrection, and they will be told, ‘Give life to that which you have created.’”

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed those who consume riba (interest, usury) and those who pay it, and he cursed the image-makers. This indicates that making images is forbidden. The scholars interpreted that as referring to images of animate beings such as animals, people and birds.

With regard to drawing inanimate objects – which is the second type of drawing – there is no sin in that, such as drawing mountains, trees, planes, cars and the like. There is nothing wrong with that, according to the scholars.

With regard to forbidden kinds of pictures, an exception is made in cases of necessity, such as drawing pictures of criminals so that they will be known and caught, or pictures for identity cards which are essential and which cannot be obtained otherwise, and other cases of necessity. If the ruler decides that producing images of criminals is necessary, because of the seriousness of their crimes and to protect the Muslims from their evil when they are known, or for other reasons, there is nothing wrong with that. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“…He has explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you, except under compulsion of necessity …”

[al-An’aam 6:119]

Fataawa Noor ‘ala al-Darb by Shaykh Ibn Baaz, p. 302

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: What is the ruling on cartoons that appear on TV?

He replied:

With regard to the cartoons which you say appear on TV, if they are in the form of humans, then the ruling on watching them depends on whether they come under the same ruling as realistic human images or not? It is most likely that they do not come under that ruling.

If they are not in the form of humans, then there is nothing wrong with watching them, so long as they are not accompanied by anything haraam such as music and so on, and they do not distract from obligatory duties. End quote.

Assalamualikum sister Sakeena.I did write about your anime cartoon and I was questioning about permissibility in Islam,but i deleted it without posting because I know this discussion will end in disaster.Spekaing base on experience though.

Anyway,I guess Islam is not all bad and at the same time it isn't easy.If you were asking if any of us have personality,well yes i do yet I am confuse with personality because I am trapped between pleasing Allah and pleasing people around me.There time I just feel fed up with everything and feel like running away to a place where I can do what I want.yet it isn't that simple.

Through experience I have learned that pleasing Allah is easier than pleasing His slaves.

You do not need to give up your talent at the same time do not ever disobey Him.

You are not allowed to draw or create living creatures yet you can draw the beauty of His creation such as nature.

When we accept Islam,there are many things we need to sacrifice and this sacrifice is the most beautiful sacrifice as it is for the sake of Allah The Exalted.

Everything takes time and affort.

Just because you love something and it is against Allah's rule, that doesn't mean others have to accept that.When we know someone is committing sin,we must advice them,if not we will share the sin as well.

If your anime is just an imagination and you haven't created it in 2D or 3D form,just leave the way it is.We do not need to prove how beautiful Islam is by using anime as Islam itself proves the bauty of Islam.it speaks for itself and Quran describes the beuaty of Islam.Instead of using anime to to show the beauty of Islam,why not all Muslims be a good example to others?

If you angry with brothers and sisters in TTI ,u might leave TTI,yet do you think your problem will be solved?for how long you are going to ignore people and run away?If that is the case,I would have left TTI long time a go.We do not need to please anyone.as long as we speak base on truth,even if doesn't please anyone,it doesn't matter.but make sure we speak base on proof from quran and saheeh hadith.

Allah knows our intention and He is the one going to punish us or reward us.

We are brothers and sisters in Islam and it is our responsibility to remind each other what is halal and what is haram.

think about it.
Assalamualikum

Assalamu'alaykum,

I thought you were ..writing a story? I didnt quite know what anime was to be honest ..(embarrassed)

Sakeena, you can still have fun with art without doing this anime, Allaah gave you a talent mashaAllaah, then use it in a way that would best please Him, rather than cause His displeasure?

Isn't that the least you can do to thank Allaah for the talent He gave you? Use it according to his laws?

Wa-alaykum salaam wa rahmatullaah.

I think sis haneen homeland is Pakistan and i vote for pakistain:SMILY252::hearts::hearts:

waslama alykum

Asawrwb! First, I would like to appologize to all those whom I have offended and upset in my rampage. I ask that Allah grant you all mercy and ease from the pain I caused... After you all feel better, I ask that Allah forgives me for my wrongdoing subhanAllah. I am sorry for my bad behavior. :(

To sister Aisha.joyo: lol as destiny would have it, Haneen is from Pakistan mashaAllah. A beautiful country. Is biryani the national dish?

Okay, okay guys... Look can I please just send you some pics and give you plot of the story and everything... Please! I've dreamed about this since I was a little girl mashaAllah. Of course when I converted to Islam, I knew that my anime show would be a bit different.

I changed everything about the old one, I gave the girls more clothes, like abayas, hijabs, kaftans, salwar kamis dresses, etc. and thobes for the boys all for the sake of modesty mashallah. I didn't mind doing this because I thought it would be very interesting exploring other cultures, mainly in Muslim countries and Muslim environments mashaAllah.

If this is so wrong, then please, just take a look at Haneen. Please! Then you can judge for yourselves. This could be a great opportunity inshallah.
Haneen won't do anything haraam. She won't go beyond the limits of Islam.
Sure, she'll get into trouble from time to time, but Haneen's a good girl.

I know the media will try to turn things about. I know there will be a lot of pressure from producers and other artists demanding that Haneen trade in her Hijab for a luxurious Harajuku hairstyle or something. I know they'd rather see Haneen in a fancy cocktail dress rather than a boring Abayah.

But you know what, I don't want that. Haneen loves Allah (swt). Haneen is a cartoon, yes, I know that. But in a way, I feel like Haneen can be used to our advantage!

Ever heard of NINJABI? NINJABI (Ninja + Hijabi) was created by Madiha Sandhu, a Pakistani American woman and a proud Muslimah mashaAllah. She draws anime characters too mashaAllah. She's very talented. I would LOVE to work with her one day inshaAllah. :SMILY252: I'm sure she's been given a hard time by her family, but at some point, you realize that it's not such a bad idea. :hearts:

Thank you for your patience mashaAllah,

ma salaams,

your sister in Islam,
