Can you please give me the lines (verses) in the Holy Koran which are said to be in favour of slavery?

Question

Please give me the number of chapter,sura, ayaths etc where these lines exist.

Answer 1

No, but I can give you one out of the Bible - check out Exodus, right after the 10 commandments. It tells how to treat your slaves.

All these things get taken out of context. I think it's important to remember where and when these things were written, and don't take them too literally.

Answer 2

Liberating slaves, for every small or big mistake, as a penance, was the order of the day. So that all slaves could get liberated slowly and steadily. In wars the thousands of slaves were brought to the houses of well to do people, for shelter and to be with only ONE master at a time.There are many many advices in quran about the way a slave should be treated kindly. Many a slaves would not leave their masters even afer they were liberated. Complete ban on slavery was not imposed, as people all over the world specially in deserts and the merchants in sea voyages needed people who could be their own like their own children

Answer 3

Perhaps not in the Quran. But some "muslims" sects condone it at present (in some countries) and did in the past.
In the light of the record made by history, nothing could be more fantastic than to claim that Islam believes only in defensive warfare. The facts show that after Muhammad gained power in Medina he organized marauding bands to attack the caravans of rival cities and that the first three were wholly unsuccessful. After he became a power in Medina, to which city he had fled as a religious refugee from Mecca, he authorized the execution of his critics; most notorious example being his execution of the Jewish tribe of Koraiza, some 700 men being beheaded in the market place from morning until night.
True, these Jews had disaffected, but the religious motive is seen in that they were offered full pardon if they would give up their Judaism for Islam. Not one of them accepted this offer, although their failing to do so meant not only death for themselves but the selling of their wives and little ones into slavery.

Answer 4

dont think even if something like that is mentioned that it means now what it meant then...

holy books where written a long long time ago and they all have quotes and norms that are not always applicable today.

i think they might be talking about the state of subjection mentioned on 9:29 but they must have it from a really bad transliteration.

seriously dont take people who give you quotes out of context very seriously
:)))

Answer 5

it is a tremendously formidable fact to assume which you be attentive to the Bible extra useful than certainly everyone and everyone who would placed up on right here do no longer you think of? yet on your question: there is no absolute info that I (as a Christ follower) am certainly astounding. If there have been, faith does no longer be mandatory now would it not? considering you be attentive to the Bible so properly you are able to take convenience interior the certainty that Paul states that interior the tip if we as Christ followers are incorrect, then we as Christ followers are the main to be pitied. we would have given up gratifying earthly desires for no reason and would have on reflection lived a silly existence. So, I stay my existence with a faith in Christ understanding that there are others out their who believe with extra suitable faith than I of their very own religions. it somewhat is a call I make, and it can be a incorrect one, regardless of the undeniable fact that it is the single i've got desperate to stay my existence by potential of. Oh and by potential of ways, in accordance to our Holy e book, the Bible, Jesus claims to be God. In my estimation that the two makes him precise or complete nut interest. I won't settle for "he replaced into an astounding instructor, only no longer God". he's the two nuts or he's who he reported he's. what variety of prophet would come and declare to be God? A prophet is sent as a representative of God, to declare this manner of element would be unthinkable for a prophet, yet Jesus claims to be God. it is why i think there is largely 2 suggestions on a thank you to seem at him as suggested above.

Answer 8

Muhammad and those of his Companions who could afford it themselves owned slaves, and some of them acquired more by conquest. However, the Islamic dispensation enormously improved the position of the Arabian slave through the reforms of a humanitarian tendency both at the time of Muhammad and the later early caliphs

The Qur'an considers emancipation of a slave to be a meritorious deed, or as a condition of repentance for certain sins. The Qur'an and Hadith contain numerous passages supporting this view. Muslim jurists considered slavery to be an exceptional circumstance, with the basic assumption of freedom until proven otherwise. Furthermore, as opposed to pre-Islamic slavery, enslavement was limited to two scenarios: capture in war, or birth to slave parents (birth to parents where one was free and the other not so would render the offspring free).

The marriage of slaves required the consent of the owner. Under the Hanafi and Shafai schools of jurisprudence male slaves could marry two wives, but the Maliki permitted them to marry four wives like the free men. According to the Islamic law, a male slave could marry a free woman but this was discouraged in practice. [14] Islam permits intimate relations between a male master and his female slave outside of marriage referred to in the Qur'an as ma malakat aymanukum or "what your right hands possess"[17][18]), although he may not co-habit with a female slave belonging to his wife.[2] Neither can he have relations with a female slave if she is co-owned, or already married. If the female slave has a child by her master, she then receives the title of "Umm Walad" (lit. Mother of a child), which is an improvement in her status as she can no longer be sold and is legally freed upon the death of her master. The child, by default, is born free due to the father (i.e. the master) being a free man. Although there is no limit on the number of concubines a master may possess, the general marital laws are to be observed, such as not having intimate relations with the sister of a female slave.[2] [16] The concubines, under the Islamic law, had an intermediate position between slave and free.[16] In Islam, "men are enjoined to marry free women in the first instance, but if they cannot afford the bridewealth for free women, they are told to marry slave women rather than engage in wrongful acts." [19] Another rationalization given for recognition of concubinage in Islam is that "it satisfied the sexual desire of the female slaves and thereby prevented the spread of immorality in the Muslim community." Concubinage was only allowed as a monogamous relation between the slave woman and her master [20], however, in reality in many Muslim societies, female slaves were prey for members of their owners' household, their neighbors, and their guests. [21]

In certain legal punishments, a slave would be entitled to half the penalty required upon a freeman. For example: where a free man would be subject to a hundred lashes due to pre-marital relations, a slave would be subject to only fifty. Other cases however, as with theft or apostasy, require the same punishment upon the slave as the free man, as long as the necessary conditions for such punishments are fulfilled


[edit] Mukatabat
Mukatabat is a right given to slaves the right to make contract with their masters according to which they would be required to pay a certain sum of money in a specific time period, or would carry out a specific service for their masters; once they would successfully fulfill either of these two options, they would stand liberated. [22] And slaves are called mukatab when buying their own freedom.[23] As stated in Qur'an:

The Qur'an, chapter 24 (An-Noor), verse 33: And if any of your slaves ask for Mukatabat, accept it give it to them if you know any good in them and [for this] give them out of the wealth which Allah has given to you.— translated by Unknown




This right of mukatabat was granted to slave-men and slave-women. Prior to this, various other directives were given at various stages to gradually reach this stage. These steps are summarized below:[22]

In the very beginning of its revelation, the Qur'an regarded emancipation of slaves as a great virtue.[24]
People were urged that until they free their slaves they should treat them with kindness.[25][26]
In cases of unintentional murder, Zihar(see footnote for definition) [27], and other similar offences, liberating a slave was regarded as their atonement and charity.[28]
It was directed to marry off slave-men and slave-women who were capable of marriage so that they could become equivalent in status, both morally and socially, to other members of society.[29]
If some person were to marry a slave-woman of someone, great care was exercised since this could result in a clash between ownership and conjugal rights. However, such people were told that if they did not have the means to marry free-women, they could marry, with the permission of their masters, slave-women who were Muslims and were also kept chaste. In such marriages, they must pay their dowers so that this could bring them gradually equal in status to free-women.[30]
In the heads of Zakat (Legal almsgiving, Islamic religious tax), a specific head (for freeing necks [emancipation of slaves]) was instituted so that the campaign of slave emancipation could receive impetus from the public treasury

The Qur’an, like the Old and the New Testaments, assumes the existence of slavery, Bernard Lewis states.[1] The Qur'an regulates the practice of the institution and thus implicitly accepts it. Lewis also notes that slavery was a feature of the ancient times and for example both the Old and New Testaments recognize and accept the institution of slavery. Lewis points out that the Islamic legislation "brought two major changes to ancient slavery which were to have far-reaching effects: "the presumption of freedom" and "the ban on the enslavement of free persons except in strictly defined circumstances". [1] Muslim jurists defined slavery as an exceptional condition, with the general rule being a presumption of freedom (al-'asl huwa 'l-hurriya — "The basic principle is liberty") for a person if his origins were unknown. Furthermore, lawful enslavement was restricted to two instances: capture in war (on the condition that the prisoner is not a Muslim), or birth in slavery. Islamic law did not recognize the two classes of slave from pre-Islamic Arabia



According to Robert Hughes (writing for Time Magazine), slavery in Africa has been dominated by Arabs. ""Slave markets, supplying the Arab emirates, were still operating in Djibouti in the 1950s; and since 1960, the slave trade has flourished in Mauritania and the Sudan. There are still reports of chattel slavery in northern Nigeria, Rwanda and Niger." [1]

And according to Dr. Kwaku Person-Lynn, "The saddest and most painful reality of this situation is, that same slave trading is occurring today, still in the name of Islam. It is primarily happening in the countries of Mauritania, located in northwest Afrika, and Sudan, in northeast Afrika." [2]


According to the U.S. State Department:

Saudi Arabia is a destination for men and women from South and East Asia and East Africa trafficked for the purpose of labor exploitation, and for children from Yemen, Afghanistan, and Africa trafficking for forced begging. Hundreds of thousands of low-skilled workers from India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, and Kenya migrate voluntarily to Saudi Arabia; some fall into conditions of involuntary servitude, suffering from physical and sexual abuse, non-payment or delayed payment of wages, the withholding of travel documents, restrictions on their freedom of movement and non-consensual contract alterations.
The Government of Saudi Arabia does not comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not making significant efforts to do so.

According to multiple sources, religious calls have also been made to capture and enslave Jewish women. "It is hard to imagine a serious person calling for America to enslave its enemies. Yet a prominent Saudi cleric, Shaikh Saad Al-Buraik, recently urged Palestinians to do exactly that with Jews: "Their women are yours to take, legitimately. God made them yours. Why don't you enslave their women?"


The Qur'an, chapter 4 (An-Nisa), verse 92: And it does not behoove a believer to kill a believer except by mistake, and whoever kills a believer by mistake, he should free a believing slave, and blood-money should be paid to his people unless they remit it as alms; but if he be from a tribe hostile to you and he is a believer, the freeing of a believing slave (suffices), and if he is from a tribe between whom and you there is a covenant, the blood-money should be paid to his people along with the freeing of a believing slave; but he who cannot find (a slave) should fast for two months successively: a penance from Allah, and Allah is Knowing, Wise
