The Best Creation

Sheikh Albāni raḥimahullāh said:

والإنسان كما نعلم جميعا مفضل على المخلوقات كلها، {وَلَقَدۡ كَرَّمۡنَا بَنِیۤ ءَادَمَ وَحَمَلۡنَـٰهُمۡ فِی ٱلۡبَرِّ وَٱلۡبَحۡرِ وَرَزَقۡنَـٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّیِّبَـٰتِ وَفَضَّلۡنَـٰهُمۡ عَلَىٰ كَثِیرࣲ مِّمَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَا تَفۡضِیلࣰا

“Mankind, as we all know, is favoured over all of creation. [Allah Almighty said, in what is translated to mean] “Indeed, We have honoured the children of Ādam, carried them on land and sea, granted them good and lawful provisions, and privileged them far above many of Our creatures.” 
[Sūrah Al-Isrā' 70]
