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.
