The book looked good but was let down by weak translation and several omitted sections.

احمقوں کی دنیا | تصنیف: علامہ ابن جوزی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ | بغرضِ نصیحت احمقوں کے تذکرے

ایک شخص نے کہا کہ !
میں نے ایک مؤذن کو دیکھا کہ اُس نے اذان دی اور فوراً دوڑا
میں نے کہا کہاں جارہے ہو ؟
اُس نے کہا میں چاہتا ہوں کہ !
مجھے معلوم ہوجائے کہ میری آواز کہاں تک جاتی ہے ؟

The book is overall good, depending on what you take from it. There are anecdotes that do not make any sense, and there are some funny ones, but the point is not to be like the fools mentioned in this book. I like the first half of the book, and the chapter on the biggest fool, Iblis.

[Abdul Riyan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fool is he who has pride, talks about things which don't concern him, gets angry at people for doing things he himself sometimes does.

Sometimes ears and hearts get tired from too heavy contemplations, so a little humor to lighten up is fine. Helps you to get back to your own serious self with more vigour. But too much laughter and too much talking kills the heart.

Yeah that's it.
