Truth:
Both traditions place high value on hospitality. Hindus follow "Atithi Devo Bhava" (the guest is God), treating visitors as divine and offering the best food and accommodation. The Manusmriti states that a guest should be treated like a deity. In Islam, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should honor his guest." He also said: "A guest stays for three days; what is beyond that is charity." Both traditions teach: 1) Guests are a blessing, 2) Offer the best available, 3) Treat guests with respect, 4) Hospitality is a form of worship, 5) God rewards hospitality. The Quran mentions Prophet Abraham's hospitality to angels. Hindu scriptures describe hospitality as a fundamental duty. Both view welcoming guests as serving God and creating bonds of love and respect.
