Moses more important than Aaron?

Due to the fact the life of Aaron is not detailed or emphasized in Quran, it's easy to assume that Moses is more important than Aaron.

Another way to look at it, is that Quran is teaching that the successor of such founders such as Moses and Abraham are to be taken automatically and so this is why there is less emphasis on the successors. It's not that they are less important, it's that, belief in them comes automatic with belief in the former. If you accept the former, you accept the latter.

Part of the Satanic influences in the minds of people regarding Quran, is to make unaware of the place of each Prophet mentioned in the Quran.

On investigation Quran is teaching the Ahlulbayt of a generic Messenger has to be accepted with that Messenger.

Jesus for example, you have to accept his predecessors going back to Moses and take them as a unity. Religion goes haywire, when one chosen guide is emphasized over another.

In fact the successor is very important as without continuation of guidance - it makes what the founder comes with in vain. The successors are all important because if not accepted, the founding religion doesn't lead to unity but disunity, and not guidance but misguidance.

In this regard, the Ulil-Amr (4:59) with Mohammad (s) are all highly as important because God wants us to obey himself through them.

According to the Book of Exodus, Aaron first functioned as Moses' assistant. Because Moses complained that he could not speak well, God appointed Aaron as Moses' "prophet." At the command of Moses, he let his rod turn into a snake. Then he stretched out his rod in order to bring on the first three plagues. After that, Moses tended to act and speak for himself.

I found this hadith:

Al-Mufaddal ibn ‘Umar said, “Abu ‘Abd Allah (‘a) said to me, ‘On the Resurrection Day four days hurry to Allah, the Mighty and Magnificent, like the bride who hurries to her quarters of the tent, al-Fitr, al-’Adha, al-Jum‘ah (Friday) and Ghadir Khum. Ghadir Khum is between al-Fitr and al-’Adha. Friday is like the moon among the stars.

Allah puts the cherubim, the prophets of Allah who are apostles, the chosen executors and the friends of Allah on Ghadir Khum. On that day, the master of the angels is Gabriel (‘a), the master of the prophets is Muhammad, the master of the executors is the Commander of the Faithful and the masters of the friends of Allah are Salman, Abu Dharr, al-Miqdad and ‘Ammar. These days bring them into heaven just as the shepherd brings his sheep to the water and grassland.’ I said to him, ‘O my master! Do you order me to fast on it?’

He answered, ‘Yes, By Allah. Yes, By Allah. Yes, By Allah. Verily it is the day on which Allah accepted the repentance of Adam (‘a) and he abstained on it to thank Allah. It is the day on which Allah, the Exalted, saved Abraham (‘a) from the fire and he abstained on it to thank Allah, the Exalted. It is the day on which Moses established Harun (‘a) like a flag, and he abstained on it to thank Allah, the Exalted. It is the day on which Jesus (‘a) revealed his executor Simon al-Safa and he abstained on it to thank Allah, the Mighty and Magnificent.

It is the day on which the Apostle of Allah established ‘Ali like a flag for the people and revealed his favor and his being the executor, and he abstained on it to thank Allah, the Blessed and Exalted. It is the day of fasting, vigil, feeding [the poor], and visiting with the brothers, and in it there are the satisfaction of al-Rahman and the dislike of Satan.
