Based on dialogism in Bakhtin’s thought there are several voices in a dialogism text that the reader can hear all of them. The Dialogue in a text takes place at three levels: Dialogue with other texts (Intertextuality), Dialogue with the audience and the dialogue between voices within the text. In this study, we try to show that the story of the creation of Adam in the Qur’an can adapt with the dialogism theory. In this story in Quran, we find a kind of intertextuality with the Bible and with creation myths. The Quran attends to audience in several level. In fact there is a permanent dialogue between the Quran and the audience. In this story we find 4 voices; the Allah voice, the angel’s voice, the stain’s voice and the Adam’s voice. The Allah allow them to be heard. Finally it seems that this Quranic story could be interpreted strictly according to Bakhtin’s theory.
