Listen, you keep saying "Islam is the one true religion" and all that, which just makes me laugh.

>Lets try something I like to call "Does Islam abolish slavery?!"


Slavery is a sin. Slavery is mankinds second greatest atrocity against one another, the first being murder. It's wrong, no matter how well you treat the slaves, even if you eventually set them free the act of owning a slave is wrong.


So lets ask ourselves, "Did Islam abolish slavery?"

https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Qur%27an,_...holars:Slavery

Nope.
------------------------------------------

As far as I'm concerned, I see no point in following a god that believes slavery should still exist.

Islam helped to reform and abolish slavery. You have first understand the historical context. We are talking about societies where there were more slaves than free people and at a time when slaves were not even considered normal people. Many people made their living from slavery and the slaves also depended on their masters to survive, because they provided them a home and food. If it was abolished straight away, the slaves had no family and no where to go to. Slavery was so embedded into their society that it would have been impossible to abolish straight away, the only effective way was to do it step by step.

The first step was to change people's attitude towards slaves and to treat them exactly like a human being:
Worship Allah (alone) and associate nothing with Him, and do good to parents, to kinsfolk, to orphans, to the needy, to the neighbour who is a relative, to the neighbour who is a stranger, to a companion by your side, to the wayfarer and to (the slave) which your right hands possess; verily Allah loves not the proud, the boastful. Quran - 4:36 (There are many more verses)

The next step was to free slaves:
Certainly We have created men [to dwell] in distress. What! Does he think that no one has power over him? He shall say, “I have wasted much wealth” Does he think that no one sees him? Have We not given him two eyes, a tongue and two lips, and We pointed out to him the two conspicuous ways [of good and evil]? But he would not attempt the uphill road. What will make you comprehend what the uphill road is? It is the setting free of a slave....Quran - 90:4-13

Islam recommended it as an act of expiation for many types of sin. The atonement for sins like unintentional murder and breaking one’s vow of not approaching his wife was the freeing of one slave.

Slaves can ask for their own freedom:
And if any of your slaves ask for a deed in writing (to enable them to earn their freedom for a certain sum), give them such a deed if ye know any good in them: yea, give them something yourselves out of the means which God has given to you. - Quran 24:33.

Prophet Muhammad pbuh didn't trade slaves he purchased them and freed them. He personally freed 63 slaves. One of his wife was a slave which he freed and married. One of his son's he adopted was a slave he freed. Islam changed the meaning of slave, from the lowest form a human could be, into the highest form, the slave of God. We all muslims believe we are the slave of God.

By the way, Atheism doesn't even have moral system. All there is to atheism is a lack of belief in God, nothing else, no set of moral codes. According to atheism there is nothing wrong slavery.

1. You know, this is an odd thing. If god would have just said "slavery is wrong, end slavery" or anything of the sort, I'd be inclined to believe that slavery couldn't end overnight and they were taking a practical stance towards it.

But........then again, it always has. Much of the end of slavery has been instant for many countries. Even though it may have been a lot of work to that point, the actual ending of slaves was instant. In fact, many of the arab countries that were so heavily Islamic came in last when it came to abolishing slavery!
--------------
But I digress, this is God we are talking about! Surely he had a reason for centuries of slaves to remain slaves. Oh wait, there wasn't one?
---------------------------

2. Sadly they weren't treated "like a human being", especially since they were denied the basics of freedom. Wow, you are actually supporting slavery here lulz.
---------------------


Ok lets move on to the biggest problem with Islam and freeing slaves.


Lets say a normal person buys a slave. He pays money to the slave trader, the slave trader gets his money(business), and he then can own a slave and do whatever he wants.

Lets say Muhammad buys a slave. He pays money to the slave trader, the slave trader gets his money(business), and then he can own the slave and do whatever he wants.(free the slave).


You see, the naivety of you muslims is that Muhammad helped abolish slavery. He did not. Buying and freeing slaves is still BUYING slaves. You are still supporting the slave trade by purchasing slaves.
-In fact, you'd do more for abolishing slavery by just not buying slaves.

Example: It would be like Coke using slaves to make their product. Then in a show of protest, you buy their product and throw it in the trash. They don't give a shit what you do with their product, as long as you buy it.


This is something I think people don't understand and continue to think is a good thing. If anyone really wanted to stop slavery they'd make a law banning it, not some "treat slaves better" mentality and helping the slave trade by buying slaves.

There are numerous verses in Quran telling people to free slaves. Islam's stance on slavery is obvious and does not even need to be stated. Your argument has no merit. It is like me saying atheism doesn't teach that slavery is wrong because it doesn't have a set of moral codes therefore atheism supports slavery.

REALLY? Please tell me you are joking. Go pick up a history book!

But I digress, this is God we are talking about! Surely he had a reason for centuries of slaves to remain slaves. Oh wait, there wasn't one?

God gives us free will and slavery is the result of the actions of people. The most basic teaching of Islam (and all the Abrahamic religions) is that the whole point of this life is to test of your belief in God. Let me try to rationalize slavery for you:

God may decide to make one person a slave master and give him wealth and power, to test his belief in God and whether he will use his wealth and power for good and decide to free slaves, or whether he will do the opposite. God may decide to make one person a slave, to test his belief in God, whether he will ask for help from God when he is need of help. God has infinite knowledge and we do not, just because something may not make sense to us, it doesn't mean there isn't a good reason for it happening. Try to comprehend infinite knowledge.

2. Sadly they weren't treated "like a human being", especially since they were denied the basics of freedom. Wow, you are actually supporting slavery here lulz.

You don't say. That is why the first step Islam took to abolish slavery was first make people consider them normal people, as mentioned in the Quran.

Ok lets move on to the biggest problem with Islam and freeing slaves.

Lets say a normal person buys a slave. He pays money to the slave trader, the slave trader gets his money(business), and he then can own a slave and do whatever he wants.

Lets say Muhammad buys a slave. He pays money to the slave trader, the slave trader gets his money(business), and then he can own the slave and do whatever he wants.(free the slave).


You see, the naivety of you muslims is that Muhammad helped abolish slavery. He did not. Buying and freeing slaves is still BUYING slaves. You are still supporting the slave trade by purchasing slaves.
-In fact, you'd do more for abolishing slavery by just not buying slaves.

The problem here is you think abolishing slavery is an easy task, it is as not simple as it sounds. Societies functioned on slavery, slavery was used in nearly every empire throughout history. Abolishing slavery straight away is like discovering all computers cause cancer and they trying to remove them all from the face of the earth at once, society won't be able to function and it is not even realistically possible. Think of all the communication problems, traffic problems, economical problems it will cause, just to name a few.

Prophet Muhammad pbuh used his money to free slaves. I would like to see you use your wages to give child sweatshop workers in third world countries a better life. He pbuh couldn't exactly steal them and as I hope you have understood that abolishing slavery is a complex progress and takes time. Islam knew that it would take time and hence started the process of aboshing slavery, telling people to free slaves, it didn't even need to state slavery is wrong in the Quran. Anyone with common sense knows that if that says to free slaves in numerous verses obviously it means that slavery is wrong.

Slavery is still common today. All the west have done is move the sweatshops from the west to third world countries in Asia, Africa and South America. It is not even possible for these large companies to make billions without a form of slavery where workers are forced to work 19 hours a day or else face death from starvation. Without the slaves in third world countries they won't have any large profit margins. The billions they make are the billions, the millions of slaves deserve to be paid. It is like investing in stock, the money your make from stocks, is the money someone else loses from their stocks. The world still revolves around slavery, and the west depends on slavery.

I love how you ignored the point about atheism. I find it funny when atheists attack Islam on morality based on their ignorance fed by propaganda sites created by Christian missionaries from USA. When atheism doesn't even have a set of moral codes. According to atheism rape is natural(Sam Harris), there is nothing wrong with incest with your sister(Lawrence Krauss), and since it doesn't mention anything about slavery I am going to say it supports slavery too. I mean it doesn't say slavery is wrong.

There are numerous verses in Quran telling people to free slaves. Islam's stance on slavery is obvious and does not even need to be stated. Your argument has no merit. It is like me saying atheism doesn't teach that slavery is wrong because it doesn't have a set of moral codes therefore atheism supports slavery.

Yes but there are also numerous verses telling you what to do with the slaves you own(or can own). Is your viewpoint so naive that you think the Quran/Hadiths don't mention slaves? I mean several times here you are referencing

"It is like me saying atheism doesn't teach that slavery is wrong because it doesn't have a set of moral codes therefore atheism supports slavery."
-But atheism isn't a belief structure and doesn't make laws..... Your example is saying that "if it says nothing" but Islam says a LOT about slavery, while atheism has no comment. Hadiths even go into the laws and such about slavery.
https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Qur'an,_Ha...holars:Slavery


I mean it's apples and oranges there really.

Let me try to rationalize slavery for you:

God may decide to make one person a slave master and give him wealth and power, to test his belief in God and whether he will use his wealth and power for good and decide to free slaves, or whether he will do the opposite. God may decide to make one person a slave, to test his belief in God, whether he will ask for help from God when he is need of help. God has infinite knowledge and we do not, just because something may not make sense to us, it doesn't mean there isn't a good reason for it happening. Try to comprehend infinite knowledge.
You don't say. That is why the first step Islam took to abolish slavery was first make people consider them normal people, as mentioned in the Quran.

So, if I made you a slave, it's ok, because it's "god's will" and it is to "test your belief", you forget people didn't just "wind up slaves" they were forced into slavery. Wow, you just....wow. Either you are incredibly ignorant, or just plain stupid.

The problem here is you think abolishing slavery is an easy task, it is as not simple as it sounds. Societies functioned on slavery, slavery was used in nearly every empire throughout history. Abolishing slavery straight away is like discovering all computers cause cancer and they trying to remove them all from the face of the earth at once, society won't be able to function and it is not even realistically possible. Think of all the communication problems, traffic problems, economical problems it will cause, just to name a few.

I didn't say it was easy, I said it was the right thing to do.

You are making excuses for why GOD didn't even say to abolish slavery.

Prophet Muhammad pbuh used his money to free slaves. I would like to see you use your wages to give child sweatshop workers in third world countries a better life. He pbuh couldn't exactly steal them and as I hope you have understood that abolishing slavery is a complex progress and takes time.

Anyone with common sense knows that if that says to free slaves in numerous verses obviously it means that slavery is wrong.

You are a fucking idiot. What muhammad did, only affected a small handful of people, and the slave traders still got their money.

It would be like me giving my wages to a sweatshop, doesn't solve the problem, only makes a handful of people better off.

I mean not only are we talking about Muhammad, but GOD comes into the mix here. GOD says "eh, keep slavery for another thousand years" to the middle east!

Slavery is still common today. All the west have done is move the sweatshops from the west to third world countries in Asia, Africa and South America. It is not even possible for these large companies to make billions without a form of slavery where workers are forced to work 19 hours a day or else face death from starvation. Without the slaves in third world countries they won't have any large profit margins. The billions they make are the billions, the millions of slaves deserve to be paid. It is like investing in stock, the money your make from stocks, is the money someone else loses from their stocks. The world still revolves around slavery, and the west depends on slavery.

So....off topic much? Slavery still exist today, yup. Not related to the topic and if anything shouldn't Islam/muslims do something about it?

I love how you ignored the point about atheism. I find it funny when atheists attack Islam on morality based on their ignorance fed by propaganda sites created by Christian missionaries from USA. When atheism doesn't even have a set of moral codes. According to atheism rape is natural(Sam Harris), there is nothing wrong with incest with your sister(Lawrence Krauss), and since it doesn't mention anything about slavery I am going to say it supports slavery too. I mean it doesn't say slavery is wrong.

Christian.....missionaries....from the USA......created propaganda sites that do what? Sorry do these sites tell me "Islam permits slavery" no, the quran does. Do these sites tell me the history of Islam and the middle east, no history books do.

You are mistaking a personal opinion with atheism.(go figure).

Atheism is the lack of belief in god, he does not exist. That's it. An atheist might believe such and such, but that has nothing to do with atheism. There is no set commandments, no doctrine, nothing.


-How do muslims never see this? Islam, christianity have doctrines, they have text that shows their beliefs, that they all must follow. Yet....atheism is just the lack of belief. It's not some grand set of beliefs in evolution, or some ridiculous set of "science is my god" beliefs, no, atheism is by definition the belief that there is no god(lack of belief).

This has got to be the hundredth time I've had to explain what Atheism is to a Muslim here. It's beyond ridiculous how stupid kids are that they can't just google it.
