Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: Some people claim that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is not superior to Adam (peace be upon him) because he said, “I am the master of the children of Adam.” If he were superior to Adam, they say, he would have said, “I am the master of humanity” or “I am the master of all creation.” What is the answer to this?
Answer:
This is a distortion of the words from their proper context. This is a distortion of the words from their proper context. The Messenger is superior to all of humanity and the jinn. He is the most superior of humanity and the jinn (peace and blessings be upon him). No one disputes this except either an ignorant person who pretends to be a scholar, or an atheist. Yes.
