Transliteration:( Wa laqad karramnaa Baneee aadama wa hamalnaahum fil barri walbahri wa razaqnaahum minat taiyibaati wa faddalnaahum 'alaa kaseerim mimman khalaqnaa tafdeelaa (section 7) )
153. From this emerge two issues: 1. That man is superior and noble in all creation, for this reason he is called the 'noblest creation Prophets and saints are found from the human race. It is man who has been blessed with fairest features, control over everything, the management affairs of the world and the Hereafter, intelligence and judgement. Everything is created for him.
2. In terms of humanity a sinner and an infidel is better than the other creation, although he himself is worse than an animal. The true state of a human is something else. Therefore, the infidels will not enter Hell in a human form.
154. To ride in the land means to ride on the animals in land, in trains motor cars, etc. in the boats and ships, etc. at sea. This is due to His mercy and power that He has made everything subservient and under control to man.Â
Now it is the duty of man that he remains subservient to Allah Almighty and His Prophet ? Everything is for us and" . we are for Allah Almighty".
155. By this is meant lawful tasty physical bounties and spiritual nourishment. An ox works harder in a field - but he only receives grass and chaff, man's effort is less but he enjoys the grain, fruit, milk and butter. This is due to Divine favours.
156. Here the word 'many' denotes all. Says Allah Almighty: i.e. "most of them are liars" (S26:V223). He said: "And most all of them follow not but conjective" (S10:V36). Hence the human species is superior to the angels because angels have intelligence but no lust,
animals have lust but no intelligence, but human beings have both. There for Paradise is only for the humans, prophethood and sainthood and is found in human species (Taken from Khazainul Irfaan).Â
Says Allah animals have lust but no intelligence, but human beings have both. There for Paradise is only for the humans, prophethood and sainthood and is found in human species (Taken from Khazainul Irfaan). Says Allah

70. And indeed We have honored the Children of Adam, and We have carried them on land and sea, and have provided them with At-Tayyibat, and have preferred them above many of those whom We have created with a marked preferment).
Allah tells us how He has honored the sons of Adam and made them noble by creating them in the best and most perfect of forms, as He says:
(Verily, We created man in the best stature (mould).) (95:4) He walks upright on his two feet and eats with his hand, whilet other living creatures walk on four feet and eat with their mouths, and He has given him hearing, sight and a heart with which to understand all of that, to benefit from it, and distinguish between things to know which are good for him and which are harmful, in both worldly and religious terms.
(and We have carried them on land) means, on animals such as cattle, horses and mules, and also on the sea in ships and boats, great and small.
(and have provided them with At-Tayyibat,) meaning agricultural produce, fruits, meat, and milk with all kinds of delicious and desirable flavors and colors and beautiful appearance, and fine clothes of all kinds of shapes colors and sizes, which they make for themselves or are brought to them by others from other regions and areas.
(and have preferred them above many of those whom We have created with a marked preferment. ) means, over all living beings and other kinds of creation. This Ayah indicates that human are also preferred over the angels.
(17:70) Indeed, We honoured the progeny of Adam, and bore them across land and sea and provided them with good things for their sustenance, and exalted them above many of Our creatures.[85]
85. That is, it is an obvious fact that the superiority man enjoys over all other beings on the earth and all that is in it, has not been bestowed upon him by a jinn or an angel or a prophet. Most surely that is Allah’s blessing and favor. Is it not then the height of folly and ignorance that after having achieved such a high rank, man should bow down before any creature of Allah instead of Him?
