Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the reconciliation between the saying of Allah the Exalted,[Al-Mu'minun 23:14], and the author's statement, "and [Ghafir 40:62] with Allah (Mighty and Majestic)"?

This is what is intended by the comparative degree. Yes, "The Best of Creators" is intended in the sense of the comparative degree. Yes.
