A superb exposition of the real issues by Imam Tom!

[@fidelcatsro6948]

[@bauan98]

I think he is right but Dr Thomas Cleary’s lecture on “slavery in Islam”. Dr Cleary makes a distinction between cattle slavery (as practiced in the west) and Domestic slavery (as was practiced by Islam) and he is right that domestic slavery was a way to reintegrate victims of war into society. However what Imam Tom doesn’t mention is that the Quran and the Hadith make it crystal clear that one of the best ways to get close to Allah, is to free slaves. And The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah says, 'I will be against three persons on the Day of Resurrection: -1. One who makes a covenant in My Name, but he proves treacherous. -2. One who sells a free person (as a slave) and eats the price, -3. And one who employs a laborer and gets the full work done by him but does not pay him his wages.' " And don’t think slavery is abolished now… now there’s economic slavery. Millions of undeveloped countries work like slaves to sustain the economies of the developed nations. It’s slavery in disguise.

Look at how refugees integrated in Poland. I know its not exactly how Islam teaches but its similar. People, mostly women and children came and were taken into homes of Polish people. They were given a lot, for Free. But resentment in the nation didnt rose, cause they wanted to work and assimilate . But it was possible cause we live in 22st century and women have a lot of oportunities to work, Poland is a really safe country and children came be taken care of. But what in different Times? Only Islamic way of dealing with this issue would bring similar results. And religion is ment for all times,not only ours, isn't it? I really appreciate Islamic rulings,even though Im not a Muslim.

One can make a temporal argument. Ownership/bondmenship existed in history for vast passages of times; centuries! Even today there is slavery, but does man think he will not return to that state? Who’s to say? - what will be the state of non-combatants after war or during war, or slaves? Lawlessness. But you’re re-conceptualization and contextualixarion is superb and correct and honest to the tradition.

In the modern world where manual labor is becoming less important, I don't think this system works anymore. It was suitable for the most part of history in which working hard in the farm lands and doing manual labor was the only life line.

[@nabilmuhammadsani2827]

​​​@@BinuJasimmanual labor will always be important, even within Europe there is demand for manual labor. Also they aren't meant to undergo tedious tasks that's not the purpose of the system, the system was designed as a way to bring these people under the same roof as Muslims to see the benefit of Islam. Sure they would work in those days, but just the same amount as the one who maintains them. If let's say the ummah eventually unites, and definitely there would be wars against non Muslims because a united Muslim ummah is their worst nightmare, these refugees would be taken into homes, they would assist in home chores, or day to day businesses of their maintainers, the fact that there's less work doesn't mean the system becomes extinct.

[@handhikaramadhan]

Beautifully expained ya sheikh

[@supporterofeastturkestanin2871]

Quote from a book: European women who live in the East and often complain of Arab servants would be surprised to hear of the devoted lifetimes given by these people (i.e. Arab slaves) to their native masters. They enter a household and become part of it, and think of no private life beyond; and if they happen to be bad at things like valeting or waiting, this is taken as a dispensation of Providence, is borne as one bears the unfortunate deficiencies of a son or daughter, and does not interfere with the natural kindliness of the relationship. I have never heard an Arab speak roughly to his servant, even under severe trials of patience. The Queen of Iraq, when I was there, had a particularly bad cook, so much so that King Faisal offered to send her his own excellent one instead; but the queen, a gentle and charming woman, was attached to the cook's wife and used to go with her to the cinema now and then, and refused the exchange. In the Hadhramaut, a small slave or servant is given to every infant member of any well-to-do family, and they grow up devotedly together. Taken from 'The Southern Gates of Arabia: A Journey in the Hadhramawt', Ch 3.

Best explanation of the islamic view on slavery, well done Tom, now I understand why our prophet ( pbuh ) did not ban it, As cruel as slavery was to have totally banned it would have lead to more problems, Islam`s approach of reforming slavery was the pragmatic choice so that it did not end up being like slavery as practiced by the Europeans in the Americas, indeed Allah is All Wise

[@haatpraat2993]

This is the most sickening, disgusting comment I have ever read on KZbin. Slavery is a CRIME against humanity itself. Have you ever read about how moslems moslems enslaved millions of black Africans - much more than the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade? The moslem slave trade lasted over 1,500 years in which estimates state almost 100 MILLION lives were destroyed. Have you read about how moselsm would capture innocent, free people in central Africa, march them chained up to the east African coast, then CASTRATE the males before loading them on to sinking dhow ships to be sold off in the Gulf and wider Indian Ocean in their millions? Now, if your Prophet explicitly states slavery should not be banned- then your prophet is NO GOOD and is also a criminal like the moslem slave traders.

[@AdilAli-yv8zd]

Awesome explanation.

[@zipzap6783]

Worst explanation possible. The guy didn't even talk about how Islam allows sex with captives. Here is a hadith that shows this: *Chapter: It is permissible to have intercourse with a female captive after it is established that she is not pregnant, and if she has a husband, then her marriage is annulled when she is captured* *Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah her pleased with him) reported that at the Battle of Hanain Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent an army to Autas and encountered the enemy and fought with them. Having overcome them and taken them captives, the Companions of Allah's Messenger (may peace te upon him) seemed to refrain from having intercourse with captive women because of their husbands being polytheists. Then Allah, Most High, sent down regarding that:* *" And women already married, except those whom your right hands possess (iv. 24)" (i. e. they were lawful for them when their 'Idda period came to an end).* -Sahih Muslim 1456a

A lot of things sheikh Tom explained here I hadn’t fully understood until now like what رق is in reality with regards to modern times mashaAllah. Allahu Akbar how we have solutions for every situation. I would say however that everything Allah made halal is good and everything he made haram is bad/dirty as our great scholars of Islam have described it. I do see how though that halal doesn’t always mean we will like it or make us comfortable such as a woman who’s husband takes on a second wife she may hate it but Allah made this halal for reasons that benefit the man and society as a whole.

[@fadhakintilerewa7509]

Am sorry I have a serious question ,I am from west Africa but why does islam put Arab first, I saw a video of a sheik saying to spread the caliphate they go to village and tell them to surrounded under the caliphate and pay taxes or be killed. THis forces tribes to be at the mercy of large caliphate and take people into slavery, this was done in the Arab skave trade in North Africa,meaning if the small tribe doesn't join the big caliphate they die,then when Islam want to band something like Alcohol or Zina its bans it straight up,why doesn't it band slavery straight up, o have heard sheik say if slavery was banned instantly it will shake the stability of the nation, his point was it was abolished gradually, that means if I was born a thousand years ago as a black muslim I will be a slave, at the mercy of my master if he decides to free me or not

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

As A black Muslim, this sounds great! The issue is that this brother is not black and likely does not know the damage his nonchalant attitude does to black people who have been bombarded with accusations that it is exchanging one slave master for another to be Muslim. How about telling black people that Muhammd (SAW) was raised by a black woman? How about talking about her son Usamah (RAA)? How about talking about the black grandmother of Umar (RAA)? Do that! Stop trying to lesson the whip of slavery.

I have some questions on the this topic. What if the female slave doesn’t want to have Sex with her master? Which woman wants freely have Sex with somebody who killed her husband, brother, father or all of them? What about the women whose husbands are still alive? What if a female slave has got children? Has the Master the duty to keep them all together or can he separate them? Like for example one son goes to one master, the daughter goes to another one and so on. Would it not be cruel? Can a Muslim free a slave which doesn’t want to become a Muslim or can a Muslim only free a slave who converts to Islam? Is there a tool which can guarantee, that slaves will be threated well?

[@zipzap6783]

Slaves can't consent. So, a master can force himself upon her. Here is a hadith which shows how Sahabas had sex with captives whose husbands were alive: *Chapter: It is permissible to have intercourse with a female captive after it is established that she is not pregnant, and if she has a husband, then her marriage is annulled when she is captured* *Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah her pleased with him) reported that at the Battle of Hanain Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent an army to Autas and encountered the enemy and fought with them.

We have to come out of denial. 1- assimilation and being owned like a property are complete opposites. 2- if assimilation was the goal why was sex allowed as many "not-slave" girls as one can own. 3- if assimilation was the goal why umar enforced "not-slave" girls to be bare breasted. ... the list goes on.

1. A bullshit explanation of islamic riq If they are owned like a property, then why they are having same food and clothes If they are property, then why they are not mistreated or overworked, but should be treated well If they are owned like property, then why they can take legal action for a breach of their rights, and may be freed as a result If they were property, then why they can get married if their owner consents If they were property, then why there guilty of crimes can only be given half the punishment that would be given to a non-slave If they are owned, then why female slave cannot be separated from her child while it is under 7 years old If they are property, then why Islamic law allows slaves to get their freedom under certain circumstances Our prophet Muhammad said [He will not enter Paradise who behaveth ill to his slaves. The Companions said, 'O Apostle of God! have you not told us, that there will be a great many slaves and orphans amongst your disciples?' He said, 'Yes; then be kind to them as to your own children, and give them to eat what you eat yourselves. The slaves that say their prayers are your brothers. Be kind to slaves as to your own children...and those that say their prayers are your brethren. They (slaves or servants) are your brothers, and Allah has put them under your command. So the one under whose hand Allah has put his brother, should feed him of what he eats, and give him dresses of what he wears, and should not ask him to do a thing beyond his capacity. And if at all he asks him to do a hard task, he should help him therein.' 'There are three categories of people against whom I shall myself be a plaintiff on the Day of Judgement. Of these three, one is he who enslaves a free man, then sells him and eats this money'. al-Bukhari]

2.

[@mohamedacharki6527]

We could define the essence of slavery as an institution in which persons are divested of their freedom and are owned by another. That is, people become property. This definition can include the phenomenon of slavery in European or Islamic (legal) cultures. We can then analyze the properties of slavery within these various cultural milieus. However, we shouldn't pretend that there aren't shared core meanings. This will only confuse people further. It was only permissible for free persons to be indentured through the type of processes described by the speaker. However, Muslims could, in principle, acquire already enslaved persons being sold in internal and external markets freely. Though, as the speaker mentioned, Islamic law had clear directives, laws and ethics related to their treatment.

​@@daviddoran2116 Hypothetically, let's say that is true, what does Islam say about the treatment of slaves, can they just be used and abused as they were in the US?

This guy didn't even talk about how Islam allows sex with war captives.

[@doctorsofgoldenhour]

Refugees resettlement Jaza kallah You made it simple in two words As a muslim i was always apologetic about it

[@zipzap6783]

He didn't even talk about how the Muslims are allowed to have sex with captives. Here is a hadith that shows this: *Chapter: It is permissible to have intercourse with a female captive after it is established that she is not pregnant, and if she has a husband, then her marriage is annulled when she is captured* *Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah her pleased with him) reported that at the Battle of Hanain Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent an army to Autas and encountered the enemy and fought with them. Having overcome them and taken them captives, the Companions of Allah's Messenger (may peace te upon him) seemed to refrain from having intercourse with captive women because of their husbands being polytheists. Then Allah, Most High, sent down regarding that:* *" And women already married, except those whom your right hands possess (iv. 24)" (i. e. they were lawful for them when their 'Idda period came to an end).* -Sahih Muslim 1456a

So disingenuous. He says there was no word for slavery in Islam but there was definitely slavery in the time of Muhammad so why wasn’t there a commandment to not allow it. People owned people. Sultans owned people who were not refugees. If Islam is perfect why isn’t there a command in Islam to release these slaves.

Saudi Arabia only ended slavery in 1962. The slaves were not war refugees but instead mostly Africans were trafficked from east Africa across the Red Sea into Arabia. Forms of slavery are still practiced in countries like Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Saying that it isn’t “slavery” is insane. You should be ashamed for condoning a 100% (not 50% or 60%) evil act

Slavery of any form is not acceptable. I totally disagree your arguments here. And the way you present it in your talk is Allah Couldn't find a better solution to the economy at that time? Are you kidding? Why can't God just forbid in one sentence slavery of any form. The explanation given here try to tell some forms of slavery are acceptable and that is a big problem. I am a Muslim and your explanation is like the Coran Couldn't be from God? Becos you say it was the system at that time? What about now?

[@user-jr8te4so1d]

No matter how you try to paint it, owning another person against their will is still wrong. Slavery is evil in all its forms.

[@sph1226]

I guess you weren't listening with understanding… He just explained that it's not owning. It's a way to provide displaced people with the necessities of life while avoiding the resentment of the people providing it through their taxes.

[@bettermetal8306]

@@sph1226You didn’t say it wasn’t owning. You simply tried to justify owning another human. Slavery is evil no matter which way you try to spin it. There is no scenario in which forcing another person to work for you is justified

Islam is beautiful and its ways are perfect. The concept of slavery in Islam is different from that in the west for sure. However, in Qatar a muslim country a friend saw slaves in chains, people who were being treated like animals.

Is Islamic slavery beautiful and perfect?

[@s.h.2697]

To determine the correct way Islam is practiced, you refer to the example & practices of the Prophet (pbuh) and the rightly guided Caliphs (the first 4 caliphs of Islam)...anyone else after them could be "practicing" Islam incorrectly. Islam is perfect, but Muslims are not...

JazakAllah for this explanation. Can the person have sexual relations with the female captive or force himself upon her?

Are you for real?? Obviously not that’s haram! You need to be married to have sexual relations with the opposite sex

There are certain topics that are better if you privately research because not everyone has positive views about Islam and sometimes things can be taken out of context no matter how much you mean well if you discuss them publicly. In fact, him making this video was very risky as it is. Anyone can take it out of context no matter how positive his intention is and some probably will as more people watch the video.
