I study arts. I know some ahadith that say creating animate objects are haraam in Islam and that,in the hereafter, we will be asked to insert soul in the pictures that we drew.I want to remove misconceptions about Islam. If i create some animate being in my artwork for a good cause, will i still be punished by Allah?
