EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abu Huraira states that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned against taking graves as places of worship. This is a warning to all Muslims, and it is important to remember that worshipping at graves is not allowed in Islam. It is also important to remember that we should not take any grave or shrine as a place of worship, even if it belongs to a prophet or saint. Instead, we should focus on worshipping Allah alone and seek His guidance in all matters. We should also respect the dead by visiting their graves but without engaging in any form of idolatry or superstitious practices such as making offerings or praying for them.
