Why did MUHAMMAD NEED SLAVES?

Question

:"allah's apostle was on a journey and he had a black slave called anjasha, and he was driving the camels" http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/073.sbt.html#008.073.182

“i came and behold, allah's apostle was staying on a mashroba (attic room) and a black slave of allah's apostle was at the top if its stairs.” http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/091.sbt.html#009.091.368

“…'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

Ok, so Muhammad kept a black slave in the attic, another to drive his camels in the desert heat, and would display his slave properties in the mosque, like a used car show room or something.

Hey, Muhammad commaned a major army....why did he need any slaves? He could have had his soliders do the labor he was to lazy to do.

Answer 1

i dont think any muslims will answer that.
They are so afraid that if they challenge the Allah / Mohammad or the Quran, they might suffers in hell.
They wont even challenge the logic of Mohammad for having an underage girl as a wife.
They might say that Mohammad did not abuse his slave/s and his harem

Answer 2

he didn't NEED them first of all and I don't appreciate the way you are talking about MY Prophet, The Messenger of God , May Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him

and unless you put it in more logical terms, I don't see why you have such an urge to know this when you are not even being respective of the religion that so many people follow, and furthermore posting your degrating views in such terms
not only do i find your stupididty and ignorance annoying and insulting, it is apparant of the type of person you are.
you do not even wish to seek knowledge, you just wish to put down a religion only because it is not of your own. do you not think the media has done a suffice amount to relinquish your evil desires to take down a way of life so many have been living the correct way. I'm sure you think society is the perfect place right now, with the criminal records and crimes they are commiting are as appauling as they are.
you should be ashamed of yourself
have some respect for yourself and others.

Answer 3

Answer 4

The concept of a slave is not how Westerners treated slaves like trash. Slaves were considered part of family and he freed many and recommended others to do the same. They had this thing called rights.

Answer 5

Free the slaves is part of islamic faith:

[11] But he has not attempted to pass on the path that is steep (i.e. the path which will lead to goodness and success).

[12] And what will make you know the path that is steep?

[13] (It is) freeing a neck (slave)
Quran 90:11-13

look how carefuly you picked these small details about prophet Muhammad and twisted around. and ignored all the other big verses that talks about worshiping one God, believe in all prophets, charity, kindness toward the poor, hunger and needy. but ofcurse you only want to show what your self desire, do you think God does not know what whisper in ur heart?

Answer 6

slaves are different back from what we think of them now
heck I'm sure you or your family or someone you know has slaves.
if you have a house cleaner
or a cook
or nanny
or Butler etc..
or w.e but one thing is for sure Muhammad (pbuh) treated them with respect. he fed them clothed them and treated them like human beings w/ respect.
he also paid them..so it was their job.
he showed (not forced) them Islam and many if not all converted.
just watch the message..you'll see what i mean.

google or yahoo "the message..the movie"


the kings of Arabia (who were polytheistic) are the ones who treated them like dirt. and crap. and Muhammad brought Islam and told them that you cant treat a human being like that.

God Bless
