Stoked to announce our first product, 40 Hadith on Masculinity: How to be a Good Man. We sat down with Dr. Salah Sharief, founder and CEO of Wordsmiths, whose research team we commissioned to curate the book. The interview covered:
Why he agreed to work on this project and why he believes it's important.
The special nature of masculinity in Islam compared to other traditions and what topics the book will cover.
What it takes to produce a work of this nature: the process, the time required, etc.
...And much more.

Muslim Man of the Week
Congratulations to Dr. Abdullah Bin Hamid Ali on the release of his new book, There is no Male-Preference in Islam, a translation of a work by one of his teachers, the late Shaykh Muhammad Al-Ta'wil (may Allah have mercy on him.)
Side note: Dr. Abdullah wrote the best article on masculinity we've read, Prophetic Pugilism & the Freedom Principle.

This piece by Megha Verma may contain the greatest passage in English ever written.
Over the last decade or more, it has been consistently demonstrated that so-called “meat-head bros” are consistently right about everything from politics to relationships to nutrition... Firstly, their mind is healthier because their bodies are healthier... Secondly, Bros, in their path to becoming Bros in the first place, had no choice but to come to terms with reality.
Plot twist: Megha is a girl.
It’s so hilarious that people think a Bro wrote this when actually it’s a 50kg girl who wears decorative scarves 😂

This piece by Niels K teaches you about the Magic Mirror and why you get triggered by things you see or hear. Niels posted an innocuous tweet that made the front page of Reddit, which ended up in a brigade on his Twitter.
I love this photo because it invokes primal reactions in people. They are the couple everyone wishes they were in high school
They represent the summun of popularity and success
Those who fall short this ideal cannot help but feel the sting of envy
A mirror into your soul

If you've never heard of the Magic Mirror, watch this for an explanation.
What We're Watching
Emergency Meeting Live by the Tate brothers:
At MuslimMan™ we won't tell you not to listen to so-and-so or not to read so-and-so. That's an insult to your intelligence. Watch Andrew and Tristan Tate if you want. Or not. Tate the good and leave the bad.
Side note: We know Andrew. He and his brother are both gentlemen.
Russian School of Boxing/Frolov Boxing School:
Alexey Frolov is, in our opinion, the best online boxing coach.
Mastering your voice is a superpower:
"Some eloquent speech is as effective as magic."
