A Critique on Meyer Yakup Qastar’s Views about the Creation of Ādam (a)

Understanding the views of Orientalists on the reflection of the stories of the prophets in the Qur'an to criticize and examine them, is an undeniable necessity. The present study seeks to critique the views of Meyer Yakup Qastar, a Polish and Jewish orientalist, on the story of the creation of Adam (pbuh). In this research, has been used the method of library studying with an analytical-critical approach. However, the study of Caster's views on the story of Adam (AS) has been the center of attention and analysis, however, the views of Muslim scholars have also been used to complete the discussion. The extensive attention to the narrations of the creation of Adam (PBUH) from Islamic sources indicates the deep research of Qastar in narrative-interpretive works. The fragmentation of interpretive narrations, the mention of the Israelites, the superficial and incorrect interpretation of the verses of the Qur'an, widespread use of weak narrations, and pay attention to contradictory narrations are the main critiques to Qastar's research.
