Assalamualykum
I was willing to know whether drawing is really illegitimate according to Islam or not? I have heard hadiths which state that it's illegitimate to draw animated objects as they are the creations of Allah Almighty. But again the same hadiths permit us to draw inanimate objects including mountains, trees, forests, seas, waterfalls, rivers, moon and so on. The confusion is here. Mountains, seas, trees and all these are also a part of Allah's creation. So how come it's illegitimate to draw animals, humans or other animated objects while it's legitimate to draw mountains, trees and other natural entities based on the fact that all these are the creations of Allah Almight?
