About the Author:

The newest of our five Ramadan titles is Rosalind Noor’s Trouble at Taraweeh. It’s a funny story that carries an important message.

Umama is the imam’s daughter, and she loves helping out at the masjid. Unfortunately, although she has the best of intentions, things always go wrong!

When Ramadan comes around, Umama is super excited because she’s learned all about Laylatul Qadr. She knows it’s a very special night, and she has a special duaa she’s planning to make.

But when her pet frog stows away in her bag that night, trouble is sure to follow! Will she be able to make her duaa on the night that’s better than a thousand months?

Get your copy of this beautiful and funny story today!
