THE BEST AND WORST CREATURES!
VERSES NO.6-8
The disbelievers among the People of Book and idolaters are called the worst of creatures, because they denied the truth when it came to them. The People of Book are mentioned first, because they had divine b ook, Ulama and scholars, and the signs of Islam Prophet (SA) were clearly mentioned in their books. Therefore, their denial was worse and more heinous than the idolaters! 
The opposite point is the second group who believed and did righteous deeds. They are the best creatures!
The believer and righteous men are even better and higher than the angels, because the verse is absolute and there is no exception therein!
In addition to dwelling in the paradise, Allah is pleased with them, because they have obeyed Him, and they are pleased with Him because, He has granted them whatever they are promised to! 
Fearing God is the incentive for moving towards any obedience, virtue and righteous deed. 

Ali (AS) and His Shiite are the Best of Creatures!
In many traditions narrated by the Sunnite and their well known resources as well as Shiite resources, the verse has been interpreted to refer to Ali (AS) and his followers.
In Addarol Manthour (الدر المنثور) commentary, it has been narrated from Ebne Abbas: When the verse was revealed, Prophet (SA) said Ali: It refers to you and your Shiite on the Day of Resurrection when you are pleased with God and God is pleased with you.
In another tradition, he narrates from Ebne Madouyeh from Ali (AS) that Prophet (SA) told me: Have you not heard the phrase that God says: Those who believe and do righteous deeds, they are the best of creatures? It refers to you and your followers and I visit you therein besides the Pond of Abundance, when I come for reckoning of my nation, and you are invited while you are recognized! 
The above tradition is one of the famous and popularly accepted by majority of Islamic scholars and Ulama, and this is a great and unique merit for Ali (AS) and his followers.
According to these narrations, Shiite was applied at the time of Prophet (SA) by him among Moslems, referring to the special followers of Amiralmomenin Ali (AS). Therefore, those who think that Shiite was invented centuries later are really wrong.
THE END OF CLEAR PROOF SUREH
