[6]. Surah Al-An'am [The Cattle]

Ayat 61. He is the Irresistible, Supreme over His slaves, and He sends guardians (angels guarding and writing all of one's good and bad deeds) over you , until when death approaches one of you, Our Messengers (angel of death and his assistants) take his soul, and they never neglect their duty. 

 

Hadith الحديث

English Translation of Hadith

Hazrat Ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH)said," Do not turn your homes into graves.'' "Observe part of the [Nawafil (voluntary)] Salat (prayers) in your homes.

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Lesson: "Observe part of the Salat (prayers) in your homes'' here means Nawafil and Sunnah. The houses in which Nawafil are not performed are like graveyards. Such houses are like graves which have no scope for action and worship and are thus deprived of their reward, which is a great deprivation indeed.
