Furthermore, he is a spiritual guide, and many of the guests present were his followers (murids). Despite this, the humility of Ameer Ahl al-Sunnah and his love for the scholars is worth praising! He made the Muftis sit at the dining mat and personally placed the food trays on the mat with his own hands, hosting the Muftis in a wonderful manner.

In the same way, we should also come forward when guests arrive. We should do as much as we can ourselves to arrange their hospitality. If possible, we should set the dining mat ourselves and place the food on it. If we respect the guest in this way, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه we will receive reward.

Some Further Etiquettes of Hospitality

Sayyidunā Dātā Ganj Bakhsh ꜤAlī Hajwayrīرَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه  has written some more etiquettes of hospitality. He writes:

1. When a guest arrives, welcome them with a cheerful face (meaning with a smile and in an enthusiastic way).

2. Give them a respectful place to sit.

3. Consider the guest's arrival to be from Allah Almighty and their departure to be from Allah Almighty, (this is a very high etiquette. It means when a guest comes, the person should think that they have come by the Will of Allah Almighty. When they leave, think that they left by the Will of Allah Almighty. Host them thinking of them as Allah Almighty’s servant. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه! The joy of hospitality will double).

4. If the guest wants privacy, arrange privacy for them.

5. If the guest needs company (meaning the guest wants someone to sit with them and talk to them), the host should sit with them and talk about good things.
