  2. drawing human form is forbidden in islam and for a very good reason. Think about the waste of money on arts globally and how much hunger is there throughout the world. Large sums of money change hands in art auctions and rich ppl buy these ‘masterpieces’ and have them in their private collections which doesn’t benefit anyone except inflate their ego a little bit… and think of the rest of humanity going hungry…
