Some People especially the Muslims are against of posting fake drawing pictures of their beloved Prophet and they feel it as a insult. In order to respect their views I want to change the pic and put the pic of his name

While I can certainly understand said objections from a religious standpoint, the wiki is completely secular in its stance on all religions (as in, we acknowledge their existence, the tropes associated with them and their respective texts, etc. but do nothing further) and I hesitate to look like we're setting a precedent by catering to one in particular. I don't know the work cited in the caption so I don't know what kind of cultural influence it has or doesn't have.

Thoughts?

Since this is an actual Islamic drawing from before the time it was taboo to depict Muhammad's face, I think it's fine.

A pic of one's name is redundant if there's a page title placed right above it. [tdown]

As for my thoughts, one alternative I can think of is a symbol of the prophet. I'm sure he has one, but I am not in a place where I can search for it.

Edit: [up] is one reason to keep the current.

Since the Jāmiʿ al-tawārīkh is apparently a historical document, I fail to see where the issue lies with the current.

I think what the OP meant was a calligraphic seal, like something from here.

I was going to vote for "no pic", but, reading the arguments in this thread, I'm going to go with Keep.

Keep. Possibly add to the "don't change" list.

Keep the current. The hidden comment made it clear it was chosen with a fair amount of consideration and reflexion.

I want to put the image name of his calligraphic seal and I heard some Islamic hadiths saying the Prophet has said to never draw or portray him.

[up][up] Good point. I just wish the history went back far enough to determine when that note was added.

Alright, that's plenty of consensus for the current. I'll adjust the tag; locking up.

EDIT: Owing to the nature of the previous tag, I'm going to add this to the "don't change the pic" list.
