Who are the prophets of firm resolve after Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and what are their ranks and degrees in Paradise? And will the one of a higher station in Paradise enjoy more than the one of a lower station?
Allah has favored some messengers over others, and the best of them are the Ulul Azm (those of strong will): Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, peace be upon them. The best of them, by consensus, is Muhammad, peace be upon him, followed by Abraham, according to the preponderant opinion. There is disagreement regarding the order of the remaining three; some refrain from favoring one over the other, while others prefer Moses after Abraham and refrain from favoring Noah over Jesus.
The stations and ranks of the prophets in Paradise will be according to their superiority in the sight of Allah Almighty. As for your question, "Does this mean that the inhabitant of a higher rank in Paradise will enjoy more blessings than you, and possess things that you do not, or not?" The answer is yes. The people of Paradise will differ in ranks and stations, and this disparity necessitates that those of a higher rank will have more blessings than those of a lower rank. Nevertheless, this disparity does not diminish the blessings of those of a lower rank, nor does it leave a negative impact on their souls, as is the case in this worldly life.
