Take a pledge not to associate anything in worship with Allah (60:12)

This hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ recited a verse from the Quran to his followers and prohibited them from wailing and lamenting over the dead. He asked them to take a pledge that they will not associate anything in worship with Allah (60:12). It is important to remember that mourning over someone who has passed away is not allowed in Islam as it goes against one of its core teachings - worshipping only Allah. However, it is permissible for Muslims to express their sadness at someone's passing away by remembering them in prayer or by doing good deeds on their behalf. The Prophet ﷺ also taught us that we should be patient when faced with difficult times such as death of loved ones. We should remember that everything happens according to Allah's will and plan so we should accept it with patience and faith.
