Coming of Age — Part Two
Growing Into Womanhood
A one-day interactive workshop for Muslim girls aged 12–15, created for the questions, choices and changes that come with the early teenage years.
- Faith
- Identity
- Emotions
- Friendships
- Boundaries
- Digital Life
The next chapter
From “what is happening to me?” to “who am I becoming?”
The early teenage years can feel exciting, confusing and intense all at once. Friendships become more complicated. Emotions feel stronger. Appearance matters more. Social media becomes louder. Attention from boys may begin. And girls start making more of their own decisions.
Building on the foundations of puberty, menstruation, taharah and Islamic responsibility, Coming of Age — Part Two moves the conversation forward. It is designed to help girls understand themselves, protect their dignity and make choices guided by Islam—not simply because their parents expect it, but because faith is becoming personally meaningful to them.
Through relatable discussions, real-life scenarios and carefully selected activities, participants can explore real issues without embarrassment in a respectful, supportive environment.
The goal is not perfection. It is learning to grow, choose wisely and keep returning to Allah.
Workshop aim
An Islamic compass for the years ahead.
Not an overwhelming list of rules—rather, a practical foundation for confident decision-making.
- Confidence in Muslim identity
- Emotional awareness
- Healthy friendships
- Personal dignity
- Appropriate boundaries
- Better decision-making

Six core themes
Real teenage life.
Guided by faith.
Each theme focuses on one area girls are already beginning to encounter—presented simply, sensitively and in a way that encourages reflection rather than fear.
Who Am I Becoming?

Choosing your circle
- Good friends
- Feeling left out
- Cliques
- Jealousy
- Gossip

A good friend should help you become better, not pressure you to become someone you are not.
