"I pray the eyes of your understanding be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope of your calling, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He brought about in Christ when he raised Him from the dead, and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenlies, FAR ABOVE ALL RULE AND AUTHORITY AND POWER AND DOMINION,(referring to angelic orders) and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And He put ALL THINGS in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the Church, which is HIS BODY, THE FULLNESS OF HIM WHO FILLS ALL IN ALL"
But God raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:18-23; 2:4,6)

Angels are not suppose to have free will. Lucifier was an angel how believed that since angels were created before man that they should be held in higher regard than man. God disagreed. According to what I read somewhere. I don't believe it.

According to the bible men were made a little lower than the angels. But Jesus died for us making us very important to God.

angels are stronger they have no free will as to jinns and humans do have free will.
The Noble Qur'an 86:4
There is no human being but has a protector over him (or her) (i.e. angels incharge of each human being guarding him, writing his good and bad deeds, etc.)
The Noble Qur'an Ar-Ra'd 13:11
For each (person), there are angels in succession, before and behind him.[] They guard him by the Command of Allâh. Verily! Allâh will not change the good condition of a people as long as they do not change their state of goodness themselves (by committing sins and by being ungrateful and disobedient to Allâh). But when Allâh wills a people's punishment, there can be no turning back of it, and they will find besides Him no protector
Angels are Real Beings
Angels are real beings, not illusions or figments of human imagination. They are created from light.
A Muslim must believe specifically in all the angels named and/or described in the Qur'an and the Sunnah:.
*
Jibreel: in charge of delivering revelation.
*
Mika'il: in charge of bringing the rain.
*
Israfil: the blower of the horn on Qiyama.
*
Malik-ul-Maut: the Angel of Death who takes people's souls at death.
*
The Noble Recorders: those who record people's actions.
*
The Protectors (Al-Mu'aqqibat): who keep people from death until its decreed time.
*
Ridhwan: in charge of Paradise.
*
Malik: in charge of Hell.
*
Munkar and Nakir: the questioners in the grave.
*
The Carriers of the Throne.
*
Those who record the future of the fetus.
*
Those who enter the Haram: 70,000 every day.
*
Those who move about, descending upon gatherings at which Allah and His Book are mentioned and studied.
*
Belief in the angels is an integral part of Iman. [See 2/285 Al-Baqarah]
*
Kufr with respect to the angels is kufr. [See 4/136 An-Nisaa]
They are not some metaphysical force or aspect of the human psyche or self. Deviants have said such things for many centuries, and it was not a new deviation when it was being propagated in America during this century.

Depends how you look upon it. If you take the Biblical aspect - I would have to say men are.
But if you look at it from a human side - angels are. Why? Because angels were made to worship God unconditionally, something we humans can never achieve.

Its in the bible. in the book of psalms... "God created mankind a 'little' lower than the angels"
And God said to Moses, "no man may see the face of God and live" but angels do behold the glory of God.
PS we are restricted to space and time. Angels are not.
but cause Christ died for us... As christians, we are now considered "joint heirs in christ" and we will enjoy his glory in the last day

God loves his people more than the Angels. That's why Lucifer and His angels were thrown out of heaven. They were jealous of Gods love for us.
