Is the religion of Islam the most complete of religions, and is Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) better than Ibrahim (peace be upon him)?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is the religion of Islam the most complete of the heavenly religions? And is Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) better than Ibrahim (peace be upon him)?

Answer:
There is no doubt that the religion of Islam is the most complete of the heavenly laws. Allah the Exalted said: And because it is the religion by which Allah abrogated the other religions and commanded all creation to follow it. Muhammad is the best of the messengers, better than Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Your evidence for this is the hadith of the great intercession, when people seek intercession for them to be relieved from the standing.
They come to Adam, to Nuh, to Ibrahim, to Musa, to 'Isa; they all refer one another to another until it ends with Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). In this standing, his superiority over the other prophets becomes clear. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: This is the great intercession. Yes.
