Seyyed Ali Kashefi Khansari, children's author told
Iqna: Since Quranic anecdotes are interesting to children, it is
possible to relate them in the form literary patterns since primary
school.
He referred to Quran's global essence and said: As the whole of Quran
is not comprehensible to everyone, each person obtains those parts of
it, which are more tangible for him or her.
The writer of the book 'If Angels Had Laughed' further said: We must do
what the followers of other religions have done, i.e., prepare
adaptations of our book that are absorbing to children. However, it is
not appropriate to involve imagination with Quran, as it is a sort of
distortion. On the other hand, using illustration can be effective to
convey religious teachings to under-aged audience. Although
illustrations are human interpretations of godly ideas and hence, lack
their authenticity.
HE concluded by saying: Children of the whole world are innately
inclined to religious ideas. Because of this, we can present our
'high-quality' works to the whole world through translation.
