Transliteration:( Innal lazeena aamanu wa 'amilus saalihaati ula-ika hum khairul bareey yah )
12. It means those people who adhered strictly to the laws of Islam in the world and did all types of good deeds according to their power are superior to the entire creation, angels, jinns, etc. because paradise is created for them. The Beauteous Vision of Allah Almighty is for them. Angels carrying the Throne of Allah Almighty are offering prayers for them. It is for them that the heavens and the earth weep after their death. It should be remembered that all the deeds, which are good will, please Allah Almighty. The sacrifice of sleep by the Companion of the Cave i.e. Hazrat Abu Bakr the, on the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم sacrifice of Hazrat Alli Murtaza of his Asr Their reward is with their Lord,
Salaah at Khaibar and Abu Umayyah Zamri's discarding the word Kufr from his mouth are all examples of pious deeds. On the other hand recitation of the Kalimah by the hypocrites and their construction of Masjide Daraar are Examples of evil deeds.
From this emerge a few issues:
1. Ordinary believers are better than ordinary angels and special believers are superior to special angels.
2.The deeds of man are better than the deeds of all other creations, because Paradise is only for man.
3. No pious believer is mean. He is the noblest of the creation. Likewise no infidel is noble.
