.:Sayyidah Fātimah al-Zahrā'a the most superior?:.

صلي اللہ علی ابیہا وعلیہا وبعلہا وابنیہا وبارک وسلم

According to the agreed upon creed of Ahl al-Sunnah, the most superior to walk this earth after the Prophets علیہم السلام is Sayyidunā Abū Bakr al-Siddīq رضي اللہ عنہ.
The ijmāá of the Ahl al-Sunnah, i.e. the Ashárīs, Māturīdīs and Atharīs is upon this for centuries, any opinion which opposes this is not accepted, and is bidáh.

For detail regarding this issue, it is suggested to read the following fatwā.

sunniport.com/index.php?atta…
Coming to the quote attributed to Imām Mālik, then if this quote is authentic, it is not to be understood to be overall and absolute superiority for Sayyidah Fātimah al-Zahrā'a, but rather as partial superiority.
In actuality, Imām Mālik held the position of Ahl al-Sunnah that absolute superiority is for Sayyidunā Abu Bakr al-Siddīq, as did the rest of the scholars.

From pages 81-85 of the above fatwā, we see that this issue is addressed, as well as a better understanding of his opinion.
Thus we see that when it comes to the matter of absolute and overall superiority, the opinion of Imām Mālik is the same as that of the ijmāáh of Ahl al-Sunnah.

Those presenting another opinion are either severely mistaken or actively promoting heresy and bidáh.
This is in no way a belittlement of the lofty rank of Sayyidah Fātimah al-Zahrā'a, the Lady of the women of the worlds.

صلي اللہ علی ابیہا وعلیہا وبعلہا وابنیہا وبارک وسلم

As Ahl al-Sunnah we accept the statuses of both groups without excess.

Many Muslims incorrectly assume slavery is not a "good" thing. It is, and if it was not, then Allāh would not have permitted it, and His Beloved Rasūl ﷺ would not have engaged in it.

They erroneously assume that because freeing one's own slaves can be rewarded, that this somehow means slavery as a whole is evil and ought to be abolished.

Firstly, not all instances of freeing slaves are rewarded, it is only rewarded if done sincerely for the Pleasure of Allāh, otherwise if a person frees a thousand of his slaves without this sincere intention, then though it is valid, there is no reward.

Moreover, if a kāfir does so, there is no reward for him, regardless of his intention.

Secondly, a person is rewarded for giving charity if he does so purely for the sake of Allāh, but does this now mean private property is evil and must be abolished? Must governments take all wealth of individuals by force? Of course not.

In reality, this is modern-day apologetics designed to suit 21st century sentiment regarding slavery and has no basis in traditional Islam.
The traditional Sunni view regarding slavery:

One may be under the impression that the medieval Mu'tazilah were opposed to slavery, however this is not the case.

Rather, the author brings 19th century reformists and describes their approach as being impacted by Mu'tazili tradition, though I'm not sure how.

The same book: ImageImage
So yes, "Anti-slavery fight is a modern idea, Islam unanimously agreed with this this practice, this is the consensus", this is correct.
I don't know why people struggle with the historical fact that wholesale demonisation of slavery and opposition to slavery in the Muslim world is a recent occurrence thst began in 19thC and that for centuries nobody of any group or sect had any issue with slavery in of itself.

"Homosexual"

The term "homosexual" is a neologism, coined in the late 19th century by pro-sodomy activists

Such classification is recent and was done in order to present sodomites as being a separate oppressed class. Image
The first who conceptualised an identity was German lawyer, jurist, journalist Karl Heinrich Ulrichs [1825-1895].

Prior to this, the focus was on the act of the individual, whereas activists such as Ulrichs shifted the focus towards the nature of the individual. Image
In 1867 he attended the Congress of German Jurists in Munich and argued for the repealing of laws which prohibited sodomy, mentioning that nature had implanted this inn them, and thus such laws are discriminatory against them. Image

Fatāwā Bareilly Sharīf: Khilāfat vs Democracy

Answer:

The one deserving of Khilāfat is he who possesses the seven conditions of Khilāfat, that is:

1. Man,

2. Sane,

3. Pubescent,

4. Muslim,

5. Free,

6. Capable,

7. Qurashī ImageImageImageImage
These seven conditions are necessary such that if even one condition is missing then the Khilāfat shall not be sound. The elucidation of this is in all books of creed.
Imām Taftāzānī says in Sharh al-Aqā’id:

“{He ought to be from Quraysh, and it is not permissible from other than them} meaning, it is stipulated that the Imām be a Qurashī due to his saying, upon him be blessings and salutations, ‘The Imāms are from Quraysh.’

Lab-grown meat seems to be the latest environmentalist project.

Proponents claim such developments shall save the planet and end cruelty towards animals, but in reality their aim is to centralise the food supply.

This is an addition to ideas such as eating insects. Image
Muslims ought to remember that Allāh has created cattle for the benefit of mankind, and they are a great blessing and favour from our Lord.

There are numerous explicit verses in the Qur'ān which clarify this, and to oppose this is detrimental to one's faith.
It is necessary not to fall prey to modern ideas of veganism, environmentalism, etc, which claim that benefitting from animals is immoral, harmful, unjust, and is destructive for the environment.
