Question

Is the word ashraful makhluqat present in quran. If not then why human beings are regarded as ashraful makhluqat. Can you please provide references

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

Allah has mentioned:

Indeed Allah has created the human in the best of forms. (Surah Teen, verse 4)

This verse indicates to Insaan (humans) being the best and most noble creation of Allah.

And Allah knows best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
