Is every soul born equal in faith, or does Allah create some with more inclination to sin?

Assalamu alaikum, I've been pondering something: does Allah create some souls with a greater ability to do good, while others are made more inclined toward evil and lowly deeds? And if that's the case, how is that just? Like, if Allah made my soul with less iman than, say, a scholar or even a Prophet, then no matter how much effort I put in, I can't reach their level of piety. How is that fair to me? If He created my soul drawn to filth and sin, while another person naturally leans toward goodness, where's the justice in that? Or is every soul born in a neutral state? I was thinking about why the Prophets were chosen for that role. Many say their souls could bear the burden... but *why* could they bear it? It must be because Allah designed them that way. And since He didn't design us to handle that weight, we're shut out from the high ranks the Prophets attained. It feels like Allah was deciding my fate while shaping my soul.

You're looking at it wrong. Ranks aren't closed. The sahaba weren't prophets but they're promised Jannah. Aim for their example instead.

The fact you're asking shows iman. Some are guided to question. It's not about being equal, it's about effort. Allah sees your jihad inside.

Bro, you're overthinking. Allah is Al-Adl, the Just. He gave everyone fitra, a natural disposition to recognize truth. Your choices matter.

Prophets were chosen, but they still had free will and were tested severely. We can't compare. Allah doesn't burden a soul beyond its capacity. Keep striving.

Bro, chill. Allah's justice isn't human logic. He knows your heart. Keep repenting and moving forward. It's not a race against others.
