Do Not Make Your Houses Into Graveyards:



Do Not Make Your Houses Into Graveyards:
Narrated Abu Hurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (Peace & blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Do not make your houses into graveyards, for the shaytan flees from a house in which Surah al-Baqarah is read.” (Ahmed & Muslim).
"Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: "Allah's Messenger (May Allah's Peace & blessings be Upon Him) said:
"Do not make your homes into graves, nor make my grave into a place of celebration. Send your prayers and blessings upon me, for they will be conveyed to me wherever you may be." (Narrated by Abu Dawood with a good sanad, and all of its narrators are trustworthy).
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) tells us in this Hadith, that the Prophet (May Allah's Peace & blessings be Upon Him) forbade us from abandoning our homes and making them into graves where acts of worship are not performed and Allah's Name is not mentioned. And he forbade us from taking his grave as a place of celebration where people come to visit on a specific date, for a specific occasion. Then the Messenger of Allah (May Allah's Peace & blessings be Upon Him) ordered us to send prayers and blessings upon him and informed us that the prayers and blessings of any Muslim, whoever he may be and wherever he may be, will be conveyed to him.
Benefits Derived From These Hadith:
1.》The forbiddance of abandoning worship in the home. Optional sunnah prayers and the recitation of the Quran specifically surah Al Baqarah as it causes the shaytaan to flee from the house.
2.》The prohibition of praying towards graves.
3.》The prohibition of visiting the grave of the Prophet (May Allah's Peace & blessings be Upon Him) on a special occasion or for that matter, of visiting any grave in this manner.
4.》The obligation to send prayers and blessings upon the Prophet (May Allah's Peace & blessings be Upon Him).
5.》That prayers and blessings upon the Prophet (May Allah's Peace & blessings be Upon Him) reach him wherever the supplicator may be.
6.》That the dead can benefit from the dua/supplication made for them from the living Believers.
