JEDAN VJEROVJESNIK JE BOLJI OD SVIH EVLIJA
A GOD'S MESSENGER IS SUPERIOR OVER SAINTS

Summary/Abstract: The classical akaid literature dealt with the issue of comparison between the God's messengers and saints - God's friends in terms of honors showed. Abu Hanifa claims that each individual messenger is better than all saints. The prevailing opinion is that they cannot achieve a level of God's messengers, nor are they free from religious obligations. No saint can be superior to messenger since they are intermediaries between God and his creatures and they also have privilege of being able to see the angels. God's messengers are free from sin and safe from punishment and saints must be concerned about their end.
