Was it appropriate for MUHAMMAD to put his BLACK SLAVES ON DISPLAY IN A MOSQUE like meat in a market?

Question

“…'Aisha further said, "Once the Prophet was screening me and I was watching the DISPLAY OF BLACK SLAVES IN THE MOSQUE and ('Umar) scolded them.” http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/015.sbt.html#002.015.103

Shocking that even one black person would be a Muslim. Beyond comprehension.

I am not black, however, I believe all races are essentially the same in their core humanity, therefore, I try to imagine myself in the same shoes. Could I ever join a religion in which the very founding prophet owned and preferred to own members of my race? F*** no!

All historians no that Muslims traded more blacks into slavery than all other cultures or people combined. Muslims traded black slaves long before trans-Atlantic slave routes through their sub-Saharan trade routes. Then, when trans Atlantic trade routes emerged, it was rare indeed if any black slave didnt pass once through the hands of a Muslim. Of course, the Islamic sub saharan trade route continues today

Answer 1

People should learn more about Islam, the "religion of peace", that tells their followers to cut peoples heads off.

I love the mohamed with the bomb!

Answer 2

You distort ...

ISLAM teaches that there is no difference between the slave and the free man, an Arab or non-Arab, a white or a black man, and in spiritual matters there is no difference between a man and a woman. We are all EQUAL in front of the LORD ALMIGHTY!!

Slavery was an institution that already existed way before our Prophet was born. He inherited the problem of slavery.

ISLAM alone requires that you free slaves for committing sins. If you miss a fast in Ramadan, you must free a slave. We have one billion Muslims and there are thirty fasts in Each month of Ramadan. That is an opportunity for thirty billion slaves to be freed EVERY SINGLE YEAR!!

I am not even talking about the other sins for which you free a slave. if you break an oath you free a slave, if you get some unexpected money, you free a slave as thanksgiving to the LORD ALMIGHTY.

What religion other than ISLAM makes freeing slaves for sin a requirement?

You are too prejudiced brother to see the light. Do some research on the facts.

The Prophet had slaves to show how to treat them. HIs slaves were better off than him. They ate better than him, did less work than him and wore better clothes than him. He had the slaves to show how to treat them as human beings, while he instituted laws to free them. THINK, what is better than that.

When Abraham Lincoln announced the Emancipation Prcolamation, he had to cause the killing of 600,000 thousand men in the Civil War. YET to this day the black man hates the white man in America.

In contrast the Prophet of Islam used wisdom, logic and human nature to fight the evil that is slavery and freed mankind from its clutches in subtle and effective ways without confronting it directly. If you see the wisdom of his actions with the limitations of his resources, you will marvel at the man and his intelligence and resourcefulness to bring human beings on an equal platform across the divides of races, nations, sex and language.

THINK if you can. See if you can. Until then, it would be better if you would hold your tongue, so you are not punished by the JUST ONE when it is time for spreading misinformation and lies.

I hope the Lord Almighty will guide you if you deserve to be guided. Amen.

"All historians no that Muslims traded more blacks into slavery than all other cultures or people combined."

Please cite your source on that. Who are "all historians?"

We know for a fact that the founding fathers of the United States had slaves. It was an acceptable practice in those days.

However, being enlightened now, as we are, we can see the injustice in ANY form of slave labor or calling another human being a piece of property.

Your ignorance of Islam cannot be covered up by the geographical gobbledygook you seem to enjoy. Who are you trying to impress? It's not working.

Oh, and you might want to learn the difference between "no" and "know." Just a thought.

Answer 4

Well...maybe that's why there are so many black Muslims. If what you're saying is true and the Muslims really did have all of those black slaves, of course the slaves were forced to convert to the Islamic faith..just like the Africans were sometimes forced into the Christian faith. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

You need to get your facts straight. Islam slowly and completely removed the concept of slavery. The slaves were bought in the old days by rich muslims and freed them because it was of high reward. One of the most noble companions of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) was black, named Bilal. It was the British and other Europeans who captured Africans and made them slaves and started the whole concept again. Who brought the African American race into the United States?

Answer 6

2/3rds of christian americans owned slaves in america for more than a hundred years. why would any black person be a chirstian?
dozens of muslims have killed themselves and thousands of others. why would nayone be muslim. a white guy shot an innocent person the other week. why would anyone be white.
just because someone from one group of people does something it says nothign about the group as a whole. mohammed was considered by many to be a maniacal retard, so maybe he did sell slaves. so what?

Answer 7

Actually, there are several places in the Qur'an where the virtue of freeing a slave is mentioned. One example is Chapter 5 Verse 89

Allah will not call you to account for what is futile in your oaths, but He will call you to account for your deliberate oaths: for expiation, feed ten indigent persons, on a scale of the average for the food of your families; or clothe them; or give a slave his freedom. If that is beyond your means, fast for three days. That is the expiation for the oaths ye have sworn. But keep to your oaths. Thus doth Allah make clear to you His signs, that ye may be grateful.

Slavery was one of many horrible cultural practices of the time that the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, denounced!

A freed slave (who was black) named Bilal was honored with the responsibility of calling the believers to prayer...

Answer 8

It is true that the Arab Muslims traded more than whites. In fact they were the ones selling the Europeans the black slaves. Them and other black Muslims selling black non-Muslims.

A terrible fact. And yet stupid organizations like the NOI make a mockery of themselves by saying the religion of black people is Islam and that white people imposed their "white" religion (Christianity) on us. Me being black myself am terribly horrified by such stupidity.

Islam is 100% wicked/insane only suited for barbarians and savages.

Answer 9

be fair and tell the whole story, not just the misconstrued points that you want people to believe. im sure everyone can see that you are leaving out very important facts.

*note...Prohphet Mohammed (pbuh) freed his slaves, and they chose to stay with him as servants. they were treated with respect and kindness. His friend and the very first to call the Idhan was Bilal. A very important and respected black slave in Islamic history.
READ YOUR FACTS before you try to spread your hate. It only makes you look as ignorant as you really are!

Answer 10

The whole religion wreaks of pedophilia and racism and prejudices toward women so i doubt Islam cares about a few black slaves dude.

Answer 11

It would be no different than the Christians that owned black slaves and beat them and raped them in the USA a hundred years back. By the way, slavery was okayed in the bible too.
