how to get rid of guests...

it's a taboo in my culture to get rid of guests especially on Eid.

On Eid we would open wide the gates and doors from after Eid prayer until midnite... I've heard in some areas in Malaysia...it's until Fajr prayer... you MUST accept everybody who enter your house whether he's unknown to you or even your enemy. If the person ask for forgiveness...we MUST forgive him.

When I was 10, during Eid al Fitr, a madman (who is a Hindu) appeared at the gate looking at our house... he was so smelly and messy.... my mum called him to get inside the house, gave something for him to eat and drink and even packed him some goodies to take away with.

I know that some guests are really annoying, but it just against my culture to get rid of them...:)

aww how sweet of your mother and what a nice custom, which should be a muslim custom really.............i dont mind strangers!!!!!, ill serve um happily all day, just dont bring mer near my dads side agen, ill die of a heart attack.
