Being a teenager isn't easy. You're "too young" for half the things you want to do, Mum keeps mentioning the state of your room, Dad keeps reminding you to pray, and your little sister won't leave you alone. Sound familiar?
Muslim Teenagers Coping — subtitled With parents, family, life, the universe and everything — has been the sympathetic friend in book form for Muslim teens for thirty years. Written by Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood, a longtime religious studies teacher and seasoned "agony aunt," it tackles the real minefields of teenage life with humour, honesty and zero lecturing — while gently anchoring it all in faith.
Light-hearted enough that teens actually read it, wise enough that parents are glad they did. Ideal for ages 13 and up, and a clever gift for the teen who rolls their eyes at "serious" Islamic books.
