Is that Rs. 10k or $10k?
In either case, those notes have PICTURES of humans on them! They are haraam! If you worship one God you should give them to me anyway!

hmmm...
so taking pictures/photos of loved ones is not right?
i dunno... my mama had a serious car accident.. and her face was very much distorted.. the doc asked us of photo's we'd taken of mama.. so he could try to reconstruct it back as much as possible..
if we hadnt taken any photos of her.. it would have been pretty difficult... not impossible.. but just very hard to make it look the same again (not that it does.. cus no one can get it right.. only Allah Mian)..
so in situations like this.. is it wrong?
i honestly believe.. as long as ur not worshipping images.. not praying to them.. but have them soley displayed for the purpose of memories.. its fine.. but yeah i know about drawings.. thaz not right..
As per my art hisory course in college: The concept of drawing or taking pictures (later on) to human likeness was forbidden by the early interpretors of Islam. There was a prohibition on drawing things to exact likening of the subject. things like portraits and lifelike statues were shunned in favor of miniature style of painting as not to offend allah. The rationale was that one cannot create something to rival the original creation. So a horse drawn would be a two dimensional, smaller and anatomicaly incorrect ( on purpose ) as not to offend Allah. Since he is the supposed creater and supposedly alone in creation, no one should compete in creating. albeit, lifeless god given subjects.
There were basically two schools of islamic drawings, one in herat, governed by the persian masters and one in Istanbul, ruled by the turks. It is important to note that during the rennaisance in Europe, many turkish portraits were comissioned by the caliphs (having changed their views on competing with allah) and the turkish school of islamic art gained much more from western style while the school in herat refused to adopt the western methods found the miniatures less and less in demand.

I never tried humour. I made a very decent point. If god has disallowed pictures, why don't you throw away your money? Bank notes have pictures too. Do you love money more than you love God??
Why're you telling us to follow what you don't follow yourself?
Re: Pictures, images haram in islam
It makes LOL is when these self promoting Islamic Scholars who are promoting and spreading their industry come on TV/you tube saying ALL music is forbidden. The TV's and videos we see them on are allowed but music aint? LMAO.. what's more powerful what you hear or what you see visually ? eg if you watch someone being murdered it will have much of an effect on you then if you simply hear it.
**“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 Muslim]
“The severest of penalties on the Day of Resurrection will be given to image makers” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Mulsim].**
This is the definiton of an image: a physical likeness or representation of a person, animal, or thing, photographed, painted, sculptured, or otherwise made visible. so if you follow islamic hadith any pictures or videos(24 picture frames captured in a second)should be forbidden
Islam says images are forbidden yet these Islamicomical mercenaries suddenly forget that when they are pursuing the good cause of filling up their pockets with TV appearances and endless exposure. Basically what they really mean is any form of audio/multimedia which draws attention to them and gives them publicity is permitted and music should be forbidden as it takes up valuable the time that people might spend listening to their rhetoric instead of music.
