Adiabatic process: no heat is transferred.
Isothermal process: occurs at a constant temperature.

It might appear that temperature cannot change if no heat is added, but that is not the case. You can increase the temperature of a gas by compressing it; even if the piston and cylinder are insulated against heat transfer. Essentially, the compression process takes mechanical work and converts it to both an increase in pressure and an increase in temperature.

You can increase the temperature of a gas in an adiabatic process if you do some mechanical work on the gas.

If I was able to decrypt your question correctly, you are asking about the difference between isothermal and adiabatic processes.

This comes down to the difference between temperature and heat. If you can understand that much, you are understanding the difference between isothermal and adiabatic processes. Temperature is measured with a thermometer. Heat is measured in energy units, such as calories.

By the same token, if you totally insulate a system from heat gain or loss, the temperature inside may change due to heat of reaction, pressure changes, volume changes, et cetera. This is an adiabatic system. Now take the same system and apply heat or cooling (actually, it is more accurate to say that you are removing heat than 'cooling') to keep the temperature constant, that is an isothermal system.

So, adiabatic=same energy, isothermal=same temperature
