Description :


You are a girl, approaching teenagehood or are a teenager and you are experiencing many changes in your body and mind. Sometimes, you do not know what to do or who to ask? You and your parents also feel a bit uncomfortable to discuss certain issues. If this is the situation, then this book will In'sha-Allah be your best friend as it will have the answers to many of your questions.


This book was written in 2015 by the author when his son had reached the age of becoming a teenager. He had noticed the changes in his son's life almost everyday and felt the need to educate his son from an Islamic perspective. After failing to find suitable and appropriate material he decided to write a book himself and this Handbook is the result of his endeavours. After writing the Boys Handbook this Girls Edition has now also just been published.
