Is Prophet Muhammad (saw) Afzal Than All Other Messengers?
What’s stated in 2:253 is from the perspective of God Himself, and even that is only for certain attributes. From our perspective, we are not supposed to make any distinction amongst the apostles of God. Quran 3:84 Translation by Asad Say: “We believe in God, and in that which has been bestowed from on high upon us, and that which has been bestowed upon Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and their descendants, and that which has been vouchsafed by their Sustainer unto Moses and Jesus and all the [other] prophets: we make no distinction between any of them . And unto Him do we surrender ourselves.”
