Book Name:Manners of Hospitality
in solitude, becoming busy in the remembrance of Allah Almighty.
On one hand, the remembrance of Allah Almighty was ongoing, and at the same time, he was making a plea in his heart: “O Allah Almighty! Today is the day of Eid and guests have come to my home.” The plea presented from the heart of a servant of Truth, a perfect Saint, was accepted immediately. Suddenly, a person appeared on the roof with a dining mat full of food. This hidden person presented the dining mat to Sheikh Najīb al-Dīnرَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه and went back.[1]
Dear Islamic brothers! Indeed, those who trust in Allah Almighty, the Merciful Lord showers great grace upon them. May Allah Almighty grant us the treasure of trust and certainty.
اٰمِیْنْ بِجَاہِ خاتَمِ النَّبِیّٖن صلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہ ِوَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic brothers! اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه! Today is the day of Eid. Usually, on the day of Eid and the few days that follow, there is a constant flow of guests. Sometimes we become someone’s guest, and sometimes someone comes to us as a guest. This means these days of Eid are days for the coming and going of guests. Therefore, let us hear some virtues and manners of hospitality:
Hospitality is a Demand of Faith
Dear Islamic brothers! In the religion of Islam, hospitality has been given great importance. It is even included among the basic requirements of faith. In a blessed Hadith, the Holy Prophetصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: مَنْ کَانَ یُؤْمِنُ بِاللہِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْآخِر فَلْیُکْرِمْ ضَیْفًا meaning, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Day of Judgement should honour his guest."[2]
