Most people think that television is haram only because it projects images of living creatures. The taking of pictures, Posing for pictures and displaying of pictures is an issue, which the ulama have discussed in detail and have put forward to the public. The verdict on pictures of living creatures being haram is common knowledge.
The leader of all angels and the only angel favoured by Allah sub'hanahu wa ta'ala, to carry the Message of Allah to approximatly 124,000 Prophets, Jibra'eel Ameen, once made a promise to visit Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) at an appointed time and place. Rasoolullah sallallahu alayyhi wasallam waited at the prescribed time but Jibra'eel alayhis salam did not come.
i do not wish to go into the details of this hadeeth because i wish to draw your attention only to the fact that when the Prophet of Allah (pbuh) asked the great Angel why he did not keep to his promise, he replied,
"We angels do not enter a house which contain a dog or a picture" (Bukhari, Muslim)
Today, tables in living rooms and bedroom walls are adorned and decorated with family and other portraits, to the extent that some 'students' hang portraits of their 'shaykh' on the walls for blessings. It is difficult to comprehend how the Mercy of Allah ta'ala is going to descend, as it is the angels that descend from the Almighty Allah carrying the mercy and blessings.
Peace and Tranquility
What we have to intellectualy deduce from this is that a house which contains pictures which are not only still, but moving, walking, talking, dancing; which are accompanied by music, shamelessness and foul language; which are depicting adultery and warfare; within which there are violation of the rules of the sharee'ah and even a challenge to the Existance of Allah; and which sow seeds for numerous evils in out hearts, - then how, my brothers and sisters, is it possible for such a home to be showered with the Mercy of Allah?
Today, the absence of serenity is rite in our hearts. Many people now days go to a maulana and complain they feel restless, confused and distressed,' The most obvious question asked would be whether there is some financial difficulty, family problem, maritual problem or problem concerning children. But the answer is almost always negative. 'Everything is fine', they say. 'However, i cannot sleep, i am restless, unsatisfied and always feel distressed.'
What is the cause of this problem?
Until this disastrous object, the box of hundreds of thousand social virusses is within every corner of the world, but you will not find it. I can say this without any hesitation or doubt.
Any home with video and television is not visited by angels. The Prophet of Allah (pbuh) has informed us that any home which contain a picture of living creatures is not visited by angels. There is no need to go in depth on this issue beacuse most people are aware of it and will also tell you that the television is haram because it projects pictures of living creatures and this is prohibited in sharee'ah. In its own right, this is correct and because of the wide acceptance of this fact i do not wish to go into the depth of this issue.
Why is TV Haram?
However, do you think television is only haram beacuse it projects images? The reasons for the television being haram are not one, two or three but many if not countless. Everybody who studies its influences finds new dangers.
