Eating more than one time a day
Q: It is sunnah to eat one meal a day. But the method of meal is (any of the regular occasions in a day when a reasonably large amount of food is eaten) and so in my breakfast I only eat a bowl of cereal or 2 toast with milk so is it considered a meal because it is less than lunch or dinner and it's not a reasonably large amount?

Respecting one's guests
Q: How should one treat ones guest? Does the guest have any rights? Does the Ahadiths mention any thing regarding ones guest also if one shows disrespect to his / hers guest is it a sin?

If mufti saheb could narrate any incedient in the live of nabi [Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam], the sahabaa [Radiyallahu Anhum] and in the lives of great uleama of deoband on how they took care of their respected guess?
