Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Children"s and adolescent literature, especially fiction and poetry works that have emerged around child laborers, provide a suitable context and space to depict a part of the lives, concerns, and problems of such children and to show their unpleasant experiences and needs to the audience from a literary and artistic perspective. The orientations of writers and poets in the field of children"s and adolescent literature towards children"s rights shed light on many social harms; rights that have also been considered in the Holy Quran. The main goal of this research is to analyze the pathology of child labor rights in literary texts and look at children"s rights in the Holy Quran.

METHODOLOGY: The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical based on library studies and document mining. The statistical population of the research and its main focus are eleven key works of children"s and adolescent literature published by the Center for the Intellectual Development of Children and Adolescents and the Holy Quran.

FINDINGS: The research findings indicate that in the works under study, poets and writers of children and adolescents have addressed the main issues related to children"s rights, especially the issue of child labor, with appropriate emotions in order to convey the theme of child labor, and child rights in the Holy Quran are also among the points that God Almighty has paid attention to in various verses from various aspects.

CONCLUSION: The results of this study show that among the neglected basic rights regarding child labor in fiction literature are attention to the issue of literacy, livelihood, emotional support, prohibition of child labor, attention to play, leisure, and preservation of the dignity of girls. In the Holy Quran, child rights, especially the issue of education and upbringing, provision of alimony and livelihood, attention to the value and human dignity of girls, are among the important points.
