A Comparison of Spiritual Intelligence Components in the Novels "Sakhtun" and "Hear my cry"

Spiritual intelligence constitutes the basis of an individual’s beliefs and ensures the highest-level bases of cognitive development, which appear in the form of personality and emotional development. The discovery of spiritual intelligence components in children's literature will help the formation of children's self-concept identity and their religious beliefs. Also, trust in training and spiritual motivations will be a functional model for creating new works, provided that the potential power of language is considered in the expansion of intellectual, emotional and experiential boundaries and the child-appropriate verbal structure is created. In this study, the novels "Sakhtun" and "Hear My Cry" were compared with each other to investigate and extract the spiritual intelligence components. The frequency of these components in the two novels was studies using a method of content analysis and semantic comparison. The main research question is to see if it is possible to make a link between children’s literature and spiritual intelligence components, and a connection between the simplicity of children’s stories and the concept of intellectual intelligence. The results indicate that these writers from two different sides of the world have taken advantage of spiritual intelligence concepts in the content of their stories, and that they shared similar perspectives and thoughts.
