Abstract

The subject of creation is one of the topics that can create a field for the flow of thoughts of people on every planet. The complex meaning and concept of creation and the raw material of creation can be seen everywhere in human life, thought and imagination, which can be explored and deciphered to identify and compare the mysteries. Therefore, in this study, by collecting data through documentary and library methods and with a descriptive-analytical approach, this issue has been studied. Studies show that despite the differences in the discussion of creation in the ancient beliefs and the creation of the universe from the perspective of the Holy Quran, there are many similarities between these two sources that create both culture and civilization, and therefore Shahnameh's expression of the creation of the heavens. And the earth is in harmony with Islamic sources. Accordingly, the (primary) origin of creation (heavens and earth and what is between them, plants, animals and people) was previously in the world of meaning and then in the material world of water, soil and four elements and its symbol in the Shahnameh of Kiomars and in the Holy Quran Adam and Eve set.
