4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?[a]
5 You have made them[b] a little lower than the angels[c]
and crowned them[d] with glory and honor.
I don't know about the quran, but the bible never mentions that mankind was the greatest creation in the universe or was to rule over the entire universe.
Ok but what is the context of that? If I say humans are lower than the birds, does it mean inferior? No, it means beneath them. The birds fly in the sky and the humans walk the earth beneath. It points out to a geographical location and not a rank lol.
