    In this abstract the development of the concept of Allah in the Moslem children inGermany was examined. The development of the concept of Allah was examined bycomparing the children in Germany with the Moslem children in Turkey and the Christian children in Germany and bringing out the similarities in them. The research was conducted with quality designed working model. This study is limited to the children between the ages of 7 – 12 attending Religion Lessons at a primary and secondary school in the state of Bavaria in Germany. In order to obtain data the story of Adam and Eve was narrated to the children. The children drew pictures on the meaning they derived from the story. The drawings were analyzed and evaluated. At the end of the analysis it was observed that the children gave meaning to Allah with the character attributed to him and that they reflected this in their drawings. Some children abstained from drawing Allah and preferred to express him in different ways.
