It is a very easy concept to understand, not a difficult one once you understand the context and seerah of the Prophet PBUH

[@el-Cu9432]

Even with an understanding of pre Islamic and Islamic history, I still find the concept of enslaving another of Allah's creation disturbing. Even if the one enslaved is well treated. May Allah forgive us.

[@hanifdachoosen1286]

For you maybe , but for a black Muslim it’s not easy at all

[@mitsymoo7561]

Thank you very much for the explanation.

Interning topic I have so many questions to ask

[@thatswhoiam2735]

If slaves are only from prisoners of war, how are there female slaves?

[@ahmadmosleh6892]

The people in the past used to take their wifes and their children with them to the battlefield

@@ahmadmosleh6892 Bull shit

[@jannahhirzallah965]

​@@ahmadmosleh6892 why would anyone take wife and children to a battlefield

[@sarfrazwali]

2 reasons. 1 was to motivate the fighters..ie they knew that they simply had to win. The other was to show confidence to break the opposing sides confidence. Ie look at us...were so confident were going to win that we have even brought our women. There was a battle like this (forget its name) and a debate ensued between the youth and elders over whether to bring along the women. The elders didnt favour it ...but the women were captured and then freed by the muslims. The prophet married jawariah from this battle if anyone wants to look it up.

@@sarfrazwali But women and children were not wielding swords.

Arab slave trade was also very brutal

[@MuhammadUmair-gh2kk]

And it shouldn’t have happened,but people who don’t act like muslins,do it regardless.

[@el-Cu9432]

Yes. But remember there is a difference between pre Islamic Arabia and post Islamic Arabia. Arab culture and Islamic culture were and are generally at odds with each other. Pre Islamic Arabians wanted to continue their rough way of life and Islam prohibited much of their goings on's. Why do you think they had such a negative response to the Prophet ﷺ and the message revealed to him? They eventually put a 200 hundred camel bounty on him when they failed to silence him.

[@condor5089]

Today, treating women this way would be a war crime.

[@waleedhussain7162]

Not really. If you read more about it about the status and conditions then you will know what exactly it is. Such captives preferred to stay under guardianship because of their best treatment of them. Read seerah of prophet. Such women rose to dignified status like Hajra (wife of Abraham AS) , Mariya, Jaweriyah who were wives of Prophet Muhammad and became mother of the believers which mean women of highest honour for whole muslim ummah. Google slavery Islamqa and you will know more

[@condor5089]

An interesting apologia under the cloak of moral relativism.

[@ilovetech8341]

the romans treated their slaves better? are you kidding me. you sound like you are trying to sugar cost muslim slavery which is still being practiced todau

[@el-Cu9432]

You mean Arab slavery. As stated before there is a huge difference between Arab culture and Islamic culture which are nearly always at odds with each other. Arab culture also preceded Islamic culture by millennia.
