ADNAN OKTAR: Diseases are the most important of difficulties. For example, there is a difference between the prayer (salat) of a person with a headache and the prayer of a person without a headache. For instance, there is a great difference between the prayer of a person whose foot or waist aches – of course as much as one can- and the prayer of a healthy person. Believer will be grateful for his condition. Because if that test never happened, the person would be like an Angel. As you know there is no improvement with Angels, their condition is stable. Improvementis only for human beings. They can go up to the upmost. A human being has the strength to be much more superior to Angels. And this can happen by passing through diseases, suffering, troubles, danger and hardship. If Angels have passed through such a system, they could go even higher too, but they don’t.  Angels are stable for all eternity. Allah approves who goes up, He approves them more. Therefore, He prefers human beings over Angels, on the condition that they improve insha’Allah. Allah prefers human beings the most. Because humans have endless strength of progress with the will of Allah. They can go up, improve and gain perspective to the upmost. They love Allah with deep passion and achieve deep faith; but those of Angels are limited, therefore a believer will use this blessing in the best way possible till the end. They will use this blessing with great excitement and enthusiasm insha’Allah.

PRESENTER: So being higher or lower than Angels is in our hands.

ADNAN OKTAR: Of course, may Allah forbid, otherwise the individual can fall into the position of satan, but of course he can also be superior to Angels, insha’Allah.
