Welcoming guests brings blessings
خلفية ثقافية
Hospitality is so central that even enemies are traditionally safe once they enter a home as a guest. Across the Caucasus, there is a shared belief that a guest is a 'messenger from God.' The concept of 'Rizq' (Ruzi) is a pillar of faith, meaning that God has already decided everyone's portion. For ancient Turkic nomads, hosting travelers was a sacred duty because one day you would be the traveler needing a tent.
