The Content of Character Copybook: Ethical Sayings of the Prophet Muhammad Paperback – June 20, 2007

EXCELLENT book good quality, you can tell they took there time putting it together

This book is essentially sayings of the Prophet Muhammad in English and Arabic that are quite beautiful, but they are simply listed one after the other. There is little context about when each saying was said or what the situation was when the prophet said them, which would have been helpful. Still, a cute small book to learn some wisdom from and written in an easy to read way.

This is a remarkable collection of the sayings of the prophet. One is struck by the how concise, yet comprehensive these sayings are. They focus on character-building, morals, good manners, and ethics. A wonderful way to be introduced to the prophet of Islam, whose person, unfortunately, has been severely mischaracterized in much of Western literature on him. Elegantly translated by American Muslim scholar Hamza Yusuf. Also, the translator's notes are very instructive.Unfortunately, very hard to find this book these days. Hope the publishers publish it again soon.

Very good

Mr. Yusuf knows his material and it shows on his work. Very nice!

Perfect! Masha Allah!

Very good book with a great selection on Hadith

Very clear and easy for children to memorize. Can be reproduced for siblings. Mashallah, please have more books from Kinza Academy.

BismillahirrahmanirrahimThis slender beast of a book is a great summation of noble character.Sheikh Hamza uses his mastery over the english language to provide a phenomenal translation of the historic hadith collection of Sheikh Mazuri.By far one of the best translations that I have read of any hadith collection.The sheikh, in true following of the rich and ancient tradition of the maghrebi/mauritanian scholastic tradition avoids spoon-feeding of any sort, instead he relies upon the intellect of the reader to understand the hadith.As such he generally avoids commentary of hadith except for a few select cases where it becomes necessary, he leaves their interpretation upon the largess of the reader. This style is especially useful since the book appeals to everyone from those new to the islamic tradition to more advanced readers who may only need reminders.I would recommend this book to everyone with the exception of two kinds of people, the impatient and those who may not have a command of the english language. (As a criterion ,if you can read Frankenstein you can probably read this wonderful book).

You just have to buy and read - beautiful book

Easy to read and digest, very well presented too. A book to refer to everyday so I can keep on track!

A wonderful buy, wanted to buy more as gifts but there were no more left

Looking forward to reading this book.
