Pardon the poor grammar. There wasn't space to say it all correctly. But I think you know what I meant.

Pictures of all Prophets and holy people are forbidden. This is to prevent idolatry which is not allowed in islam. It is also out of respect and honor to the holy people

Well, most of the laws in Koran are also written in the old testament of Christian Bible.
Now, about images, based on the Bible, God really prohibit his people in creating images of man with creeping creatures, animals with four legs or birds (Romans 1) just like we saw in Catholic chapels and churches.

Islam considers images to be idols and ban them from their mosques.
