Why Twenty-Six, Not Fewer

Because a teenager does not have one problem, he has whichever one is in front of him this week — and a book organized as a set of specific, addressable topics is one he can actually open to the page he needs, rather than reading a general treatise hoping his situation is covered somewhere in it.

Each topic is presented in a simple, easy-to-understand manner, and the book helps teenagers understand the wisdom behind Islamic teachings rather than merely listing rulings — encouraging noble character, self-discipline and a strong Muslim identity.

Who It Is For

Muslim teenagers, and the parents, teachers, youth mentors and community leaders guiding them. Suited to personal reading, family discussions, youth circles and Islamic study programs.
