Of the many books explaining Islam, few specifically address the concerns and questions of those from a Christian background. Moreover, the commonalities between the Abrahamic faiths—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—are too often ignored. Set out in an easy and informative question-and-answer format, the book addresses the specific theological points of agreement and difference between Christianity and Islam, explains the core religious beliefs and practices of Islam, and answers today's most common questions of Islam and Muslims in an age when there is much conflict and misunderstanding. Islam is best judged not by the limitations and transgressions of its most extreme, ignorant, and outlandish followers, but by the example of its moderate majority, and Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood presents this introduction to the theology and practice of Islam in an attempt to explore some of the false impressions that surround it.

Das Teenager-Dasein ist keine einfache Angelegenheit. Bei der Hälfte aller Dinge, die du gerne tun möchtest, sagt man dir „Du bist zu jung“; deine Mutter will, dass du dein Chaos beseitigst; dein Vater redet ständig vom Gebet; deine jüngeren Geschwister gehen dir auf die Nerven, wenn du einfach nur deine Ruhe möchtest… Manchmal bist du nicht sicher, ob du gerade durchdrehst oder ob die anderen es sind, die durchdrehen. Diese humorvolle Lektüre für junge Muslime wirft einen realistisch-praktischen Blick auf die körperlichen und emotionalen Veränderungen von Teenagern, während sie auf ihrer Reise zwischen Kindheit und Erwachsenwerden nach ihrer Identität suchen. Für einen weichen Übergang in das Erwachsenenalter bietet sie praktische Lösungsansätze im Lichte des Quran und der Sunna.
