His answer, in his own words
56:43
maulana, agla sawal sajid ahmed sahib ne kiya hai maharashtra se aur unhon ne aap se poocha hai کہ: "Kindly define what is the meaning of guest in the light of Quran and Hadith?" قرآن و hadees ke mutabiq guest ka matlab hai zaroorat mand, needy, needy, zaroorat mand. yani ek aadmi bahar se aata hai to pehle zamanay mein riwaj tha ke bahar se aata hai
57:11
to pehle zamanay mein hotel nahi hua karte thay. kisi kisi basti mein pohancha woh to kisi se kahe ga ke: "bhai, main fraaj ghar se aaya hoon, mujhe yahan theharnay ka moqa do." to yeh riwaj tha ke teen din woh apne haan rakhe ga, jo khaye ga woh khilaye ga, jo khaye ga woh khilaye ga aur teen din apnay haan
57:38
rakhe ga. yeh yahi sahi maano mein yani guest culture hai. aaj kal jo hai woh dhoom dhaam tamasha, woh to aik is ka Islam se koi talluq nahi hai.
57:53
yani is is aadmi ko jab kisi basti mein pohancha jata tha to us zamane ka dastoor tha, riwaj tha ke agar woh aa kar kahe ke: "bhai, mein firaaj ghar se aaya hoon, mujhe yahan thehrna hai" to jis se bhi keh de, woh basti kisi se aadmi se bhi, to us par yeh zaroori ho jata tha ke woh kahe ke: "tum teen din mere haan thehr sakte ho, raho."
58:24
to thehrne ka aur jo roz khata hai, woh khilane ka zimmedari us ki ho jati thi. bas yahi yahi itna hi hai. aur aaj kal jo guest ka concept hai, woh to dhoom dhaam hai, shaan shaukat hai, woh Islam mein nahi hai.
