Honouring a guest as an act of worship

 Honouring a guest as an act of worship

Shaykh ibn Uthaymeen, [may Allāh bestow mercy upon him], said:


“We should not regard honouring a guest as merely a cultural practice; rather, we should see it as an act of worship. This is because the Prophet, صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said, ‘Whoever believes in Allāh and the Last Day should honour his guest.’ Thus, honouring a guest is an act of devotion that draws a person closer to their Lord and becomes a means for their spiritual purification and righteousness, by the Grace and Will of Allāh.”
