The questioner:
Yes. Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Were Dawud and Sulayman (peace and blessings be upon them) prophets and kings like the angels, or kings who possessed sovereignty and positions?
The Shaykh:
No, the angels are a different kind of creation; Allah created them from light. As for the children of Adam, Allah created them from clay, as mentioned in the verses. They are not angels. He did not say "king"; he said "king" and "messenger." He did not say "king" and "messenger." Yes.
