The hospitality of Janabe Ali Akbar ع
Janabe AliAlAkbar(as), The most beautiful son of ImamHussainع who resembled ProphetMohammedع It was customary for those Arabs who were hospitable to light a fire at nights on their rooftops or on a hill to let any guests or lost travelers know that if they went there, they would be welcomed and served. Anyone who approached Medina during the night, could see a fire burning from afar; a big fire. Ali Akbar (a.s.) would add enough firewood to the fire of his hospitality so that every guest or poor person could easily spot it. And why shouldn’t he have done that if he were the most similar of all people to the Prophet? .
