Adhere is more of 'to stick', 'represent truthfully and in detail.' and 'believe in and follow the practices of.' while comply is 'act in accordance with a wish or command.' or to 'meet specific standards.'
Comply is like giving in to something and adhere is more of sticking to something.
An example for adhere is : "My friend adheres to the .... religion." and "All drivers must adhere to speed limits."
An example for comply is : "We are unable to comply with your request." and "I complied to his orders."
I hope it makes sense ^^
