Praying at Home

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) advised to offer some prayers at home and not to take the houses as graves.

QUICK LESSONS:
Offer some prayers at home .

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that we should pray in our homes, and not turn them into graves. He was reminding us that our homes are places of life, not death. We should use them for living, praying, and connecting with God instead of mourning the dead or thinking about death too much. This hadith also teaches us to be mindful of how we use our time and energy - by offering some prayers at home, we can make sure that we are taking care of ourselves spiritually even when it is difficult to go out or attend a mosque. It also encourages us to be mindful of how we treat the dead - by respecting their graves and not turning our homes into places where they are remembered too often.
