| Summary: | The paper attempts to elucidate different levels of hospitality that relates to human
communication. It focuses mainly on reading verses of the Qurʾān that speak of ethical conduct in
dealing with others and analysing its contexts. The divine message given to the Prophet Muhammad
PBUH emphasises on the significance of hospitable relation in every sphere of human life. It plays
extremely important role in avoiding misunderstanding and conflict within the society. The
emergence of tensions between individuals in the community has always been the result of harshness
and negative words applied in communication. In the discussion, we employ the method of deductive
analysis on the views of contemporary scholars in the field of Qurʾanic tafsīr who interpret the verses
adopting a sort of contextual approach. The scope of the study is limited to analysing the
interpretation of verses related to ethical relation between individuals, family members, diverse
religious adherents, and governmental leaders. The significance of this study is that it addresses the
question of why humanity should take benefit from the Qurʾanic guidance on the hospitality of
communication to maintain peace and harmonious life. |
