This study aims to examine that the child's knowledge of Allah is due to the innate disposition. It is through it infer Allah's existence through it, and clarify the factors affecting it. It also presents the most important questions that a child may ask about Him almighty, provides answers to these questions, and shows the impact of this innateness on all child's aspects.
The study is divided into three chapters : Chapter one is the introductory chapter which includes the conception of the study terms and determines the adopted concept. Chapter two: The child's innateness of knowledge of Allah, and the formation of Allah’s concept, where the chapter discusses the child's concept of Allah, and presents the paradox between the Islamic studies and the psychological studies regarding that and the inferences of Allah's existence through innate disposition, with clarifying the factors affecting the formation of the concept of Allah.
Chapter Three: Children's Questions about Allah and the impact of innate disposition on answering them, where the chapter provides examples of the child's questions about Allah and their answers, then explain the impacts of these innate disposition on the child’s life aspects. The study reached several conclusions and recommendations regarding the child's innateness knowledge of Allah, which is immutable and limited but also interchangeable and changeable for its affected by the different factors.
تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى إثبات أن المعرفة بالله عند الطفل ترجع إلى الفطرة، وأن الاستدلال على وجود الله من خلالها وطرح كيف يتصور الطفل الله سُبحانه مع نضج هذا التصور مع بلوغه في العمر، وتوضيح أهم العوامل التي تؤثر في هذه الفطرية، مع عرض أهم الأسئلة التي قد يسألها الطفل عن الله سُبحانه وتقديم إجابات لهذه الأسئلة، وبيان آثار الفطرية على جميع جوانب الطفل.
ضم البحث ثلاثة فصول؛ الفصل الأول هو الفصل التمهيدي والذي حوى تعريف مفردات البحث مع بيانه للتعريف الذي تبنته الدراسة للمفردات التي اختُلف في تعريفها.
الفصل الثاني: فطرية المعرفة بالله عند الطفل وتشكل مفهومه حوله، حيث ناقش الفصل مفهوم الله بالنسبة للطفل وعرض المفارقة بين الدراسات الغربية والإسلامية في الأمر، ثم استدل على وجود الله من خلال الفطرة عند الطفل، وأن لهذه الفطرية حدود لا تتجاوزها، مع توضيح كل ما يؤثر من عوامل على تشكل مفهوم الله وتطوره مع نضوجه في العمر
الفصل الثالث: أسئلة الطفل حول الله وأثر الفطرية في الإجابة عن أسئلته، حيث استعرضت الدراسة نماذج من أسئلة الطفل حول الله والإجابة على هذه الأسئلة ثم وضحت الأثر للفطرية على الجانب المعرفي والإيماني والاجتماعي والتربوي على الطفل
وقد خلصت الدراسة إلى عدد من النتائج والتوصيات تمثلت في أن فطرية المعرفة بالله ثابثة في الطفل وأن هذه الفطرية محدودة في استعداداتها، وأن هذه الفطرية مع ثباتها في النفس إلا أنها قابلة للتبديل والتغير من تأثرها بالعوامل المُختلفة وأن أسئلة الطفل عن الله نابعة من هذه الفطرية والإجابة عليها تكون استجابة للفطرة من خلال منح إجابات علمية سليمة صائبة مما تنعكس إيجابيًا على الطفل من جميع الجوانب.

What is the meaning of individualism in a modern democracy? In this rich and penetrating book, a major political theorist examines the nature of individualism - the concept of self it implies, the ethic it sustains, the personal connectedness it supports, and the politics it requires - and provides a challenging answer. George Kateb argues that democracy is founded on respect for the dignity of individuals as individuals, and that this respect transforms all human relations. He uses the term "democratic individuality" to name some of the psychological, cultural, and spiritual effects of government's guarantee of rights. Democratic individuality, in his view, is a way in which individuals whose rights are protected may dare to live the private lives and to conceive their roles as citizens.
Kateb employs the concept at individuality not only to criticize communitarianism and to define the limits of the role of the state, but also to approach global concerns involving our relation to nature. The ten essays of this book explore democratic individuality in light of such topics as the power of political institutions to accommodate and express different values, the moral distinctiveness of representative democracy, the implications of the liberal social contract, and the possibility of human extinction. Certain essays draw upon the ideas of Neitzche and Heidegger, while others turn to Emerson, Thoreau and Whitman for expressions of the potential of democratic culture today. Eloquently addressing issues at the heart of democratic life, The Inner Ocean will be of vital interest to scholars and students in American studies, political theory, and moral philosophy.
