27:15
God, the Wise, has given plants superiority over minerals because of the vegetative soul, superiority to animals over vegetables because of the animal soul, superiority to human beings over animals because of the rational soul, to mu’mins over others because of the soul of faith (ruhu’l-iman) and to the Prophets and Imams over mu’mins due to the Holy Spirit. As God says: "And indeed We gave Dawud and Sulayman (spiritual) knowledge and they both said: Praise be to Allah, Who has given us superiority over many of His believing servants." (27:15). We can see from this wisdom-filled teaching that mu’mins are very close to the Prophets and Imams in the sense that the Prophets and Imams are superior to them but the mu’mins are superior to other people of the world and this example can be seen in the children of Israel (2:47, 122) who were superior to other people of the world because they were the mu’mins in their time.
