  • Shirk In Art

    Posted by Muhammad on March 10, 2025 at 12:07 pm

    In art many times stories of characters (whom people of other religions consider thier Gods) are told

    Radha krishn stories etc

    Many times in many poetries people use terms like “haye rama” etc

    Are these Prohibited

    Sometimes these kinda poetries are sung by muslims or wrote by muslims

    I have read muslim poets poetry on Gods of other religions

    They praise thier qualities thier characteristics

    Is this shirk? (If one doesnt believe in them)

    Even if its not shirk, can it be said that it is spreading shirk?

    If one does not believe them and recites them as lyrics, it is condemned, but it is not shirk. One should avoid them.

    He praised Ram, not as a deity but as a person.

      So one can interpret others shirkiya elements according to thier faiths and use them in thier art or consume thier art( keeping thier own intention and interpretation in mind)?

      Then it would not be wrong, right?

    If some polytheistic symbol or term can have another meaning only then one can use it in a different way.
