The Punishment of Image Makers on the Day of Resurrection

SUMMARY: On the Day of Resurrection, those who make images will be punished and asked to bring their creations to life.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that: The Prophet SAW said: "The makers of these images will be punished on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said to them: 'Breathe life into that which you have created'."
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ هَذِهِ الصُّوَرِ الَّذِينَ يَصْنَعُونَهَا يُعَذَّبُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُقَالُ لَهُمْ أَحْيُوا مَا خَلَقْتُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how those who make images will be punished on the Day of Resurrection. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that Prophet Muhammad said that these image makers will be asked to breathe life into what they have created. This means that they will not only be punished for making images, but also for trying to create something similar to Allah's creation which is impossible. This hadith teaches us that we should not try to imitate Allah's creation and instead focus on worshipping Him alone. We should also remember that all our actions have consequences and we must take responsibility for them in this world and in the hereafter.
