Children’s Roles in Quranic Stories

The Quran is full of beautiful stories, which enlighten the hearts. These stories have been the subject of many studies and articles. The current study focuses on the place and role of children in Quranic stories. These children are the most heart-touching, gentle, and influential elements of the stories. The special conditions of childhood and the relations and connections between these children and the other characters put them in an outstanding position both for guiding the others in the story and for conveying the particular divine message of each story.
