Respuesta :

Answer:

Option: To avoid idolatry

Explanation:

In Islam religion, it is forbidden to have an image of Muhammad's face. The idea was to avoid the attraction toward idol worship. The Muslims did not want to do the same thing as Christianity did. The prophet himself was conscious that if people saw his face depicted by people, they would soon start praying him. So, he banned his portraying images, as well as banned and destroyed idols in their religion. As the Muslim spread its territories, they started destroying Christ idols and other idols in the Churches and converted it into a Mosque like in Hagia Sophia.
