Qur’an
Allah
I
has
declared:
“Has
the
story
reached you of the
honoured Guests of
Ibrahim?
Behold,
they entered His
presence, and said,
‘Peace (be upon
you)!” He replied,
‘Peace (be upon you
too),” and thought,
‘These seem to be
strangers’.” Then he
turned quickly to his
household, brought
out a fatted calf, and
placed it before them
saying, ‘Will you not
eat?’ ”
Hadith
Our beloved Prophet
Muhammad
e
said:
“He who believes in
Allah and the last day
should honour his
guest. Provision for
the road are what will
suffice for a day and
night.
Hospitality
extends for three
days - what goes
beyond that is charity.
And it is not allowable
that a guest should
stay till he makes
himself an encumber-
ance.”
“When one goes to
his brother Muslim’s
house and takes
meals there, then he
should pray for the
mercy and blessings
of Allah for him. This
is the (best) gift to
him.”
“One should wel-
come his guest by
coming out of his
door, and while bid-
ding farewell He
should accompany
him to the door of the
house.”
