Lessons: Do not turn your houses into graves. Indeed, Satan runs…

• It is recommended to perform much worship and voluntary prayers at home.
• It is not permissible to offer prayers in the graveyards, for this leads to polytheism and immoderate reverence for those buried in those graves. An exception is the permissibility of funeral prayer.
• The prohibition against praying at the graves was well-established among the Companions, so the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from turning their houses like graveyards where prayer is not performed.
