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.

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.
