The aim of this study is to reveal the questions asked by children aged 4-6 about religious issues and to reveal adults' methods of answering these questions. The study, which was designed as a multiple case study, was carried out with Qur'an course teachers and the mothers who sent their children on the Qur'an courses. As a result of the study, it was found that children asked questions about Allah and the afterlife. In answering these questions, the mothers generally used a direct narrative method, while the teachers acted based on what is known with concrete examples from daily life.
