better for you, so that hopefully you will pay heed. And if you find
no one at home do not go in until permission has been granted
you. And if you are told to go away then go away. That is purer for
you. God knows what you do. (Surat an-Nur, 27-28)

RETURNING A SALUTATION IN THE SAME OR A
MORE PLEASANT MANNER
When you are greeted with a greeting, return the greeting or
improve on it. God takes account of everything. (Surat an-Nisa’, 86)

USING DOORS WHEN ENTERING A HOUSE

... It is not devoutness for you to enter houses by the back. Rather
devoutness is possessed by those who guard against evil. So come
to houses by their doors and have fear of God, so that hopefully
you will be successful. (Surat al-Baqarah, 189)

BEING HOSPITABLE, SERVING PLEASANT FOODS
AND DRINKS WITHOUT DELAY AND ASKING THE
GUESTS
Has the story reached you of the honoured guests of Ibrahim? When

they entered his dwelling and said, ‘Peace!’ he said, ‘Peace, to people
we do not know.’ So he slipped off to his household and brought a
fattened calf. He offered it to them and then exclaimed, ‘Do you
not then eat?’ (Surat adh-Dhariyat, 24-27)
Our messengers brought the good news to Ibrahim. They said,
‘Peace!’ and he too said, ‘Peace!’ and brought in a roasted calf with-

out delay. (Surah Hud, 69)
