Manners of Hospitality
6. If a person has the means to provide new clothes to the guest, they should do so. If they cannot afford it, they should not stress or burden themselves.[1]
An Essential Etiquette of Hospitality
After mentioning these etiquettes, Sayyidunā Dātā Ganj Bakhsh ꜤAlī Hajwayrī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه mentioned another very beautiful etiquette. Listen to this with full attention and with the ears of your heart! Heرَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه says: The host should take their guest to meet the scholars (Devotees of the Holy Prophet) and the pious servants of Allah who live in their city.[2]
سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه ! How lovely!
1. In our society, when a guest comes, we usually arrange to go to a park.
2. People go to recreational places for picnics.
3. Then, in those places, people often ignore the rules of veiling.
4. During the occasion of Eid, these places are in a strange state.
5. Music is played.
6. Young boys make noise, and so many other wrong things happen.
The noble Shaykhرَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه is training us to take guests to the scholars and the pious servants of Allah Almighty. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه! We will get the blessings of pious company and receive the prayers of these scholars and pious people.
Similarly, every city usually has shrines of pious people and the Saints رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ. Try to take the guest to these shrines. Present yourself there, recite Fatihah, and pray. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه! Many blessings will be gained.
These are just some etiquettes of hospitality that I have mentioned. May Allah Almighty give us the ability to act upon them.
