Deskripsi

This research refutes allegations leveled at Prophet Adam, accusing him of shirk regarding a naming episode. It aims to clear Prophet Adam of accusations of falling into shirk, as prophethood is typically immune from shirk. The research applies a deductive methodology. It concludes that the episode ascribed to Prophet Adam, as mentioned in the interpretation of Ayah 189, Surat Al-A’raaf, is considered false. The shirk mentioned in the Ayah is ascribed to man in general, not to Prophet Adam personally. The research recommends that the literature of beliefs and interpretations be revised in order to remove such false allegations against prophets.
