The questioner asks: What is the stronger position regarding Harut and Marut? Are they two angels from among humans, or are they two angels from among the angels, or are they two angels who were sent down in the form of humans?
Answer:
O, glory be to Allah! The verse—Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[Al-Baqarah 2:102] And we say they are from among humans? The verse indicates that they are two angels from the heavens, and that Allah sent them down not to approve of sorcery, but rather as a trial and a test. Yes.

May Allah reward you.
