Description
This presentation explored the essence of Islamic hospitality by analysing ḍiyāfa practices in adab literature. The practical level of ḍiyāfa and its philosophy were of special focus by analyzing Revival of Religious Science written by Imām al-Ghazālī, which still seems to be a model for diyāfa practices, and other related adab literatures and writings.
On a practical level, Islamic hospitality is described as the practical norms or standards for both host and guest. On a philosophical level, ḍiyāfa practices reflect ethics (akhlāq), generosity (karam), rewards (faḍl), and religious duties (ḥaqq, wājib, farīḍa, or dayn) in the Islamic way, and promote Islamic piety and righteousness (īmām and birr).
In conclusion, the paper summarize that the essence of Islamic hospitality is described as the practice of deepening the Islamic way of piety and righteousness for both hosts and guests ‘in the God’s way (fī sabīl Allāh)’ and ‘love one another in God.’
