Take heed from this hadith to stay away from anything which may lead us astray from our faith such as imitating other religions or cultures which are contrary to Islamic teachings .

When the Prophet Muhammad's illness became severe, he would cover his face with a cloth. However, when he was short of breath, he would remove it from his face and warn his followers not to imitate the Jews and Christians by taking graves as places of worship. He wanted to make sure that they did not do what those before them had done in order to avoid any form of idolatry or polytheism. This hadith teaches us that we should be careful about our actions and words so that we do not fall into any form of shirk or idolatry which is strictly forbidden in Islam. We should also take heed from this hadith to stay away from anything which may lead us astray from our faith such as imitating other religions or cultures which are contrary to Islamic teachings.
