Adorning Places of Worship is Evil

SUMMARY: The deeds of people become evil when they start to adorn their places of worship.

It was narrated that 'Umar bin Khattab said: The Messenger of Allah said: "No people's deeds ever became evil deeds but they started to adorn their places of worship".
حَدَّثَنَا جُبَارَةُ بْنُ الْمُغَلِّسِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ مَا سَاءَ عَمَلُ قَوْمٍ قَطُّ إِلاَّ زَخْرَفُوا مَسَاجِدَهُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that when people start to adorn their places of worship, it can lead to their deeds becoming evil. It is important for us to remember that the purpose of a place of worship is not for decoration or show, but rather it should be used as a place for prayer and reflection. We should focus on making sure our intentions are pure and our actions are righteous, rather than focusing on how we can make our places of worship look more beautiful. We should also remember that Allah does not need any decorations or embellishments from us in order for Him to accept our prayers; He only needs sincerity and faithfulness from us.
