The Content of Character

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).
