No we can't compare ourselves to them, but we certainly can use them as examples to live our lives.
Obviously, Allah knows best.
Cute voice though MashAllah.

That is the false definition of the religious found in so called Islamic text books everywhere.
The way for a believer is to be the kind of believer the Qur'an commands them to be, not become the Prophet Muhammad or the wives of the Prophet.
The Verse which everyone loves to quote ignorantly is the one where the Prophet Muhammad is refered to as "uswatun hasanatun" or a good example...the Prophet Ibrahim is also referred to by the same term, which most have no idea about.
The believers do not differentiate between the messengers, but adopt to the religion communicated in the Revelations through these messengers. The Muslim's purpose is to adhere to the Qur'anic values, and that is his or her guide. Ofcourse, if one has already decided he doesnt want to view the Qur'an this way will never see the light, but proceeds blind without the guidance of Allah - that is, incapable of walking upright without falling over.
peace.
