Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the statement of Allah[Al-Ahzab 33:7], he asks: Does this indicate that this order is a preference of them in this arrangement, namely Muhammad, then Noah, then Ibrahim, and so on?
Answer:
No, Ibrahim is better than Noah. No, this is not a ranking; this is merely a mention.
