Islamic scholar says uploading photos on social media is “a great sin” against Allah

Aug 7, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.” — Ayatollah Khomeini

“Uploading photos on social media is a sin against Allah – Islamic Religious scholar,” GHPage, August 5, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Abiona Taofeek Altruist, an Islamic religious scholar and the founder of Altruist Education and Business Institute, has said that taking and uploading photos unto social media is a great sin against Allah.

He made these statements on his official Facebook account wall….

In the same post, Abiona Taofeek Altruist, the founder of Altruist Education and Business Institute, blessed “brothers and sisters” who have never uploaded their photo on social media.

He wrote: “May Allah bless those brothers and sisters who have not for once uploaded their pictures on social media, and may He soften the heart of those stubborn people who are so fond of doing it. Just stop capturing a picture, it’s indéed a great sin. Repent now and turn back to Your Lord[Allah]. May Allah forgive our shortcomings, give us the best understanding of His Deen[Islam] and preserve us upon sunnah and goodness.”

    then facial recognition will crate a total melt down
    How will they handle that from all over the world
    street surveillance
    just a picture ID is a sin

    They also don’t like music or dancing, yet there are videos on YouTube of the great Muslim dictator Saddam Hussien dancing with a bunch of hand picked A** lickers – from 3.30

    • Jaydam says

      Aug 7, 2020 at 2:14 pm

      Correction, 1.35 seconds.

      Just look at the face of the guy that Saddam is holding on to, lolol

    • St. Croix says

      Aug 7, 2020 at 11:31 pm

      Maybe Sadam should have studied masonry instead of majoring in dictatorship. Then again, maybe not. Maybe he missed a career as a folk dancer.

      • Jaydam says

        Aug 8, 2020 at 9:48 am

        Folk dancing might have saved Saddam from eventually facing the noose. 🙂

      “There is no humor in islam.There is no fun in islam..and..oh there is one Joke I heard haha:An elderly Israeli Zionist Jew fell down a flight of stairs….well it’s funny to me…Ok I guess you had to be there”

        My favorite joke in Islam is the one Muhammad told when he said that if a fly fell into your drink be sure that both wings are completely dunked. Oh, and the one about drinking camel urine is pretty funny too. (Lots of flies to dunk there.)

        • Jaydam says

          Aug 7, 2020 at 6:02 pm

          This joke works well in the U.K,.

          A Geography teacher looks around the class and asks where Pakistan is,..?

          Little Jimmy puts his hand up and says, “He’s outside, playing with Paki Dave”.

    I don’t understand how capturing a picture of anything is a sin unless you bow down to the picture and make sacrifices to it as if were a god. Maybe some people do that with pictures of themselves and expect others to do the same but, as Ol’ Joe would say, “Come on, man.”

    The only true islamic scholars are all non-muslim…

      The Islamic scholars serve a very good purpose. The reveal the undeniable truth about Islam. I mean, all those things the pandering Leftists dismiss as lies told about Islam. You can refer them to any of the flock of living or dead Islamic scholars, and they will indeed find that all the horrible things we might point out about Islam is actually true. The scholars agree. The anti-fun nature of Islam being a case in point.

      Same thing with child marriage. None of their Islamic scholars will deny the fact that it is condoned and even encouraged in Islam. The Islamic scholars are an embarrassment to those who want to smooth down the unruly hairs of Islam, and make the beast into a lap dog, a “religion of peace.” No, they are confounding to the Islamo-apologists of the West, to Pope Francis, to Barak Obama, etc etc. Let the Islamic scholars continue to speak, because we aren’t making this stuff up! And they back us up, unwittingly.

    Humor requires one to perceive the irony in things like when you combine the words Islamic and Religion together, (Nazism by any other name is still Nazism).

    Then F Allah is lesser sin. Good F Allah then.

    I finally agree with the Muslims on something.

      Can that imam show me where it says in the Koran that you can’t upload pictures onto the internet?

      • Jaydam says

        Aug 8, 2020 at 9:58 am

        Its probably in one of the last updated pages at the back of the Koran.

      • gravenimage says

        Aug 8, 2020 at 10:02 pm

        Islam has bans against creating images. Most Muslims “scholars” agree that this extends to photographs–a few do not, especially some Shia. But pious Muslims will still murder over this.

  11. AnnChristine says

    Aug 7, 2020 at 7:28 pm

    Islam——-They make it up as they go along always making sure we know they are still noticed!!

  12. I love Iblis says

    Aug 7, 2020 at 10:29 pm

    Quran and Hadiths are not teaching capturing photos is sin. Even the Quran teaches that Prophet Suleyman had statues in his garden. This false scholar does not know anything about Islam or he is betraying to Islam by speaking for Allah. The Islamic world has fallen behind because of such false scholars. And greatest sin in Islam is not disbelief or Shirk (idolatry) but it is to speak falsehood in the name of Allah.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 7, 2020 at 10:46 pm

      Muslims actually do kill over images.

      • Jaydam says

        Aug 8, 2020 at 9:54 am

        The Danish cartoons of the prophet Muhammed didn’t go down too well with the local Muslim’s a few years ago, did they GI 😉

        • gravenimage says

          Aug 8, 2020 at 10:03 pm

          You aren’t wrong, Jaydam.

    Islamic scholar says uploading photos on social media is “a great sin” against Allah
    …………………

    But raping children and blowing up schools and hospitals is Halal.

    • James Lincoln says

      Aug 8, 2020 at 8:36 am

      gravenimage,

      Correct.

      But, apparently, uploading images of those atrocities would be a great sin against allah…

      • gravenimage says

        Aug 8, 2020 at 10:05 pm

        Oddly, showing images of Jihad terror seems to get a pass, James. I can’t imagine why…sarc/off

        But pictures of cute kittens or you with your bestie? Haram, haram!

    One picture is a revolution! Islam can’t continue in the modern world with such teachings. Their idiotic statements get more stupid by the day.
