How can a human be potentially higher than an angel? - Qazwini

1. Like human beings, angels are intelligent and they know what is right and what is wrong. However, angels do not choose between right and wrong, for doing so they need free will. Angels do not have free will, but human beings do have. While human beings use their intellect and free will not to sin, angels use their intellect to execute the commands of Allah SWT.
2. Angels have no other choice than to worship Allah, but human beings have the choice not to worship Allah. So when human beings exercise their free will to do good and to worship Allah, their goodness becomes more valuable than the goodness of the angels.
