    📖 Commentary of Surah Al-An’aam – Verse 86

    "And (We guided) Ismail, Al-Yasa, Yunus, and Lut. And each one We excelled above the whole universe in their time [172]."

    ✅ Prophets Are Superior to All Creation in Their Time [172]

    This verse confirms that each Prophet mentioned—Ismail, Al-Yasa, Yunus, and Lut—was made superior to all creation during their respective times. From this, two key points arise:

    1. No one can equal a Prophet in rank or status, as their divine selection places them above all other beings.

    2. Prophets are even superior to angels. The phrase “in their time” applies to all non-Prophets and does not suggest comparison among Prophets themselves or with the Holy Prophet ﷺ. Any claim that equates a non-Prophet to a Prophet is deviation from truth.
