Comparing the Prophets and the Angels, and the Best of Creation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, are the Prophets better or the Angels? And is it permissible for us to say that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is the best of creation?
Answer:
The best of creation means the children of Adam, as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding another child. As for the issue of the angels, which of them is the best, and the best of the people, this is a matter of scholarly disagreement and has no benefit, so it is better to remain silent about it.
