On dogs and pictures
Mother of believers Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Gabriel (peace be upon him) made a promise with Allah s Messenger (peace be upon
him) to come at a definite hour; that hour came but he did not visit him.And there was in his hand (in the hand of Allah s Apostle) a staff. He threw it from his hand and said: Never has Allah or His messengers (angels) ever broken their promise. Then he cast a glance (and by chance) found a puppyunder his cot and said: Aisha, when did this dog enter here? She said: By Allah, I don t know. He Allah s Messenger (peace be upon him) then commanded and it was turned out. Then Gabriel came and Allah s Messenger (peace be
upon him) said to him: You promised me and I waited for you. But you did not come, whereupon he said: It was the dog in your house which prevented me (to
come), for we (angels) do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
