Taking Graves as Places of Worship

SUMMARY: The Prophet cursed those who take the graves of their prophets as places of worship.

It was narrated from Aishah that the Prophet said: "May Allah curse people who take the graves of their prophets as Masjids".
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ قَوْمًا اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Aishah states that the Prophet cursed those who take the graves of their prophets as places of worship. This is because it is forbidden in Islam to use any place other than a mosque for prayer and worship. It is also forbidden to make idols or images out of anything related to religion or spirituality. Taking graves as places of worship goes against these teachings and thus it was strongly discouraged by the Prophet. This hadith teaches us that we should not use any place other than a mosque for prayer and worship, and that we should not make idols out of anything related to religion or spirituality.
