Description

Lack of sense leads to acts of foolishness, allowing them to mothball into comical gags. Ibrahim Al-Nazzam was once asked, “What are the limits of foolishness?” To which he replied, “You asked about that which has no limits.”

The art of humour is an intricate balancing act between folly and good judgement, measure and discomposure. People of virtue have always enjoyed a chuckle and hearty anecdotes, remaining positive towards them because they relax the mind and comfort the heart from fatigue of contemplative thought. Even the joshing nature of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is well-known, yet it was guided by a higher code of conduct cognisant of personal and public responsibility.

Purposeful joking and jest brings benefit just as salt in food, ever careful not to be excessive. Before you therefore, is an amusing classical text reflecting a sharp departure from the usual scholarship for which the author is known for. Compiled in the sixth century Hijri, this collection of irreverent and playful sketches - derisive and cynical observations of mischievous people - are sure to tickle your funny bone, albeit having a more sober purpose for the reader to contemplate.
