EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad is reported to have cursed those who take graves as places of worship. This means that it is not permissible in Islam to use a grave or any other place where a person has been buried as a place for prayer or worship. Instead, Muslims should only pray in mosques and other designated places of worship. Additionally, this hadith teaches us that we should respect the dead by not using their graves for anything other than burying them and visiting them occasionally to remember them and ask Allah for mercy on their behalf.
