We are all aware as to how we are not allowed to see the face of the Prophets, but recently on wiki pedia i was just doing some reading about Ali (r.a) and his family and they seem to have posted pics of ALI (r.a) Hasan and Hussain bin Ali

I was initially shocked and scared but couldn't resist but i have come to know that Hasan bin Ali resembled a lot like the Prophet (saws) , this has got me very worried and scared .. please help me on this ruling

Salaam,

Please do not use wikipedia as a reasearch tool. It is not very reliable. As for the question I suggest you ask a scholar. We are not to have images. There are religious dictates i.e. fatawas and we know from the sunnath.

As-salaamu `alaykum.

Jazaakillaahu khayr for the above response. Firstly, the pictures have been drawn by the shi`a, they draw `Alee due to their overpraise of him. Secondly, someone drawing an image of someone, doesn't mean that it is an accurate representation of that person. I remember I met a brother who claimed to know what Shaykh `Abdul-Qaadir Al-Jaylaanee, rahimahullaah, looked like. When asked, his proof was not a description given by one of the Shaykh's students, but a drawing of the Shaykh!? Just as wikipedia isn't a reliable source, neither are these drawings, so don't worry about them.
