Commentary Writing for Children

Abstract

In the twentieth century, the child has become an important interlocutor. Disciplines aimed directly at children especially Child Education, Child Psychology and Child Literature were formed. Religious publications for children in Turkey has increased after the 2000s. Various books have been written for children about Siyar, Hadith, Aqaid, Stories of the Prophet and Catechism. In the field of commentary, there are almost no works written for children. One of the reasons for this is that the academy of commentary does not yet lean towards the writing of commentary for children. Another reason is that commentary is perceived as a science for adults. In this article, we tried to state the features of the commentary to be written for children and to deal with the interpretation of the Surah al-Ihlas as an example. On this occasion, we wanted to draw attention to the need to write exegesis for children.
