قصۂ آدم کا روایتی و تمثیلی تصور: ایک مطالعہ

A Study of the traditional and allegorical Conception of the Story of Adam

Abstract

The story of Adam, a central narrative in Islamic texts, presents a rich tapestry of historical and symbolic significance. This paper explores the dual perspectives of the story's traditional and symbolic dimensions. From a traditional standpoint, the story is considered a historical account detailing the creation of Adam, his life in paradise, and his subsequent exile to Earth, as narrated in the Quran and Hadith. Conversely, the symbolic perspective interprets the story as a metaphor for human nature, ethical struggles, and spiritual lessons. This analysis aims to examine how these interpretations intersect and influence contemporary understanding, emphasizing the story's role in conveying moral and existential insights. By evaluating both traditional beliefs and symbolic interpretations, this paper seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the narrative's multifaceted significance in religious and philosophical contexts.
