Chai nashta and Ziyafat

Re: Chai nashta and Ziyafat

@TS

I don’t think ziyaafat = chai paani. I think ziaafat is elaborate da’wat. No ?

i believe in Urdu ziyaafat = refreshment

@muqawwee123

I think chain pani is not ziafat. Ok let me tell you why I’m asking this question.

I was listening to Dr Israr’s lecture in morning while driving. he said that in Quran there is a word Nuzla / Nuzlan (used at many places). It means naazil hona (just arrived). When a guest just arrive (naazil ho), they serve him with chai pani and the guest status is then Nazeel… If guest stays for longer he becomes Zaif like Zaif e Ibrahim used in various places referring to angels who came to Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) for giving him news of Hazrat Ishaq (AS), and when the host arranges for complete course of meal (dinner, lunch) of his host (zaif) its called Ziafat.

So TS is right, byt again whats the proper Urdu word which is equivalent to Arabic Nuzla / Nuzlan?

i think the difference is in the language…may be in Arabii, it means elaborate meal but in Urdu it’s usually referred to ziyaafat.

you have given a great reference. i think may be in Arabic it means differently than Urdu.
