Muslim Teenagers Coping,

Second Revised Edition, Taha, UK.





Description from the publisher :


Being a teenager is not an easy business.You're told you are "too young" to do half the things you want to do; your mother is always asking you to tidy your room: your father is always reminding you to pray; your younger sister is annoying you when all you want is some Peace and Quiet ... You are not sure if it's everyone else that is going mad or you.

 
Luckily, Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood in on hand. Having a wealth of experience as a teacher and an 'agony aunt', she understands the minefields that are the teenage years. This book is a light-hearted, humorous, but above all, sympathetic pointer to coping with teenage life as a Muslim.
