Surah 7:179 → "Certainly We have created for Gehenna many of the jinn and humans: they have hearts, but they do not understand with them; they have eyes, but they do not see with them; they have ears, but they do not hear with them. Those (people) are like cattle – No! They are (even) farther astray! Those – they are the oblivious."
Surah 98:6 → "Surely those who disbelieve among the People of the Book, and the idolaters, will be in the Fire of Gehenna, there to remain. Those – they are the worst of creation."
Does the Quran state that humans are highly favored or the worst of creation? Some verses state that humans are favored over many creations, while others state that many were created for Hell or are the worst of creation.
