The best of Allah Almighty's creation is Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, as indicated by the : "I am the master of the children of Adam on the Day of Resurrection." After him come the Prophets of strong will (Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus), then the rest of the Messengers and Prophets. As for the preference between humans and angels, there is a difference of opinion among scholars. Some believe that the human messengers and their saints are superior to the angelic messengers and their saints, while others believe that there is no definitive conclusion on preferring one group over the other.
