Does it feel like all you ever say to your teenager revolves around tidying their room, washing the dishes and praying? And all you every get in return is a terse one-word answer?
You want to explain things to them and they don’t always want to listen because they are trying to process their body changes, hormonal disturbances, academic expectations, and religious duties all while trying to understand their place in the world.
Muslim Teenagers Coping is a gentle, funny, and deeply relatable guide written by Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood, a seasoned teacher and trusted agony aunt. She gets it, she listens and she bridges the gap between Islamic values and the very real, modern struggles of being a young person today. This is the book that you can confidently give to your children to help them along their journey and ease your worries as you navigate the challenges of being a parent to a teen.
Frequently Asked Questions
How will this book help my teen?
The author is known for her agony aunt style. She is sympathetic, humorous, and understands exactly how frustrating these teenage years can be. It’s more like a conversation with a wise friend than a classroom lesson. That means your teen is likely to listen to what she has to say rather than getting potentially misguided information from social media or an inappropriate peer group.
Is it based on authentic Islamic teachings?
Yes, while the tone is light and easy to read, every piece of advice is based on the Qur’an and authentic hadith, so you can be sure of an Islamic framework for your teen.
My teen is not a keen reader. Will they read this?
It’s 132 pages long written in a humorous style, so it is not hard to read. Your teen doesn’t have to read it from cover to cover, they can just dip into the sections that interest them most.
My teen won’t read a preachy Islamic book. This book is not at all preachy. It tries to understand the point of the view of the teen across many areas of life, then offers advice on how to make sense of it and how to navigate through it all with their wellbeing at heart.
Is it still relevant if it was written a while ago?
This is the third updated edition of a 30-year bestselling classic. While the world changes, the core struggles of being a teenager—family, identity, and finding your path—remain the same. Parents who read this as teens now buy it for their own children because the advice is timeless, although some terms and phrases have been updated to recognise changes such as social media.

Who We Are
One of the First Islamic Publishers in the United Kingdom
Connecting English-speaking Muslims to the heart of their faith with authentic, accessible books.

Leaving behind professional careers, they paved the way for future generations to enjoy a wide range of Islamic literature. Almost fifty years later, we continue to provide the highest quality books worldwide and support literacy charities.
