The Variation [in Excellence] Among Men is Greater than the Variation Between the Angels

 

Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah (رحمه الله) said:

 إذا كان الواحد منهم [ بنو آدم ] أفضل من الملائكة ، والواحد منهم شر من البهائم ؛ كان التفاضل الذي فيهم أعظم من تفاضل الملائكة ، وأصل تفاضلهم إنما هو بمعرفة الله ومحبته

When one among them [from Banī Ādam] can be superior [in excellence] than the Angels and one among them can be more evil [lowly] than the animals, then the variation [in excellence] that is between them is greater than the variation [in excellence] between the Angels. And the foundation of this variation [in excellence] is knowledge of Allāh and love of Him.

Majmūʿ al-Fatāwā (7/569).
