VOLUME ONE

Translated by Hamza Yusuf

This copybook of the sayings of the Prophet, peace be upon him, will help children gain good penmanship along with developing their memorization skills. In memorizing these hadiths, children will be given the tools to distinguish between upright and dishonorable behavior, to evaluate their own conduct, and to choose good companions in their lives

Why Use a Copybook? The Content of Character Copybook is an excellent tool for teaching your child the traditional practice of penmanship, a skill that is now rarely taught in public schools. Beautiful handwriting was something civilized societies valued, but many now view it as a thing of the past, claiming that modern technology deems it unnecessary. At Kinza Academy, it is believed that beautiful handwriting is a skill that is worth preserving. And what better way to preserve it than by practicing writing the profound sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him?

In copying these sayings, children learn spelling, punctuation, and vocabulary, while also studying the Prophetic characteristics. They learn to pay attention to detail, be neat, and have patience. They may also memorize the sayings, sharpening their intellectual skills. In employing a good penmanship program, with lots of practice, the child will develop good writing skills and learn to take pride in his or her beautiful handwriting. Educationally, children accomplish so much through the use of a good copybook.

The Content of Character Copybook is a brilliant way to teach children about the Best of Creation, to inculcate love for him, to teach them the loftiest of manners, and to help them improve their English and Arabic handwriting, all at the same time! In addition to all of that, children can be asked to memorize this beautiful hadith, which will improve their memories as well as their language skills. I have witnessed students improve their writings, sharpen their memory skills, practice beautiful manners, and develop love and admiration for their Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, all as a result of this wonderful book.

My children found it easy to memorize these hadiths while also practicing their Arabic and English penmanship. The morals and values in the hadiths are little lessons that the children learn and implement in their lives. I saw the benefits of my children studying these hadiths in their behaviour.
