The Holy Quran, as a book of divine guidance, has used stories as one of its most important educational and training tools. Quranic stories, which are described as the best stories in verses such as “We relate to you the best of stories” (Surah Yusuf, verse 3), not only present narratives from the lives of prophets and previous peoples, but also convey profound lessons of wisdom, patience, trust, self-purification, and struggle against worldly attachments to the audience. In the Holy Quran, God tells the stories of many prophets in the form of stories. The name of Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) is mentioned 25 times in the Holy Quran. However, the details of this story are stated in 6 surahs. The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical, and through it, two elements of plot and character are examined and analyzed. The aim of this study is to conduct a comparative study of two narrative elements, plot and character, in the story of Prophet Adam in the Quran with Mantiq al-Tayr in Attar Neyshaburi’s Ilahinama. The results of the study showed that the plot of the story of Prophet Adam in the Holy Quran has a linear, logical, and monotheistic structure that emphasizes divine wisdom and human superiority. Attar uses a cyclical and allegorical structure in Ilahinama. In Mantiq al-Tayr, with a compact and linear plot, he highlights the arrogance of Satan as a mystical lesson. Both narratives share the theme of Satan’s disobedience. The characterization in the story of Prophet Adam in the Holy Quran is symbolic conversational Attar focuses on human weakness and  influence of Satan in Ilahinama by adding the characters of Eve and Khanas, and in Manti highlighting Satan and interpreting his disobedience mystically he adds a deeper layer to the characterization.
