[quote]My dear brotheren! Islam as a vital force has come for the honor, grace and self respect of humanity WA-LAQAD KARRAMMNA BANI ADAM (17:70). It releaves the humanity of the self laden burdens, what to talk of loading it more. Slavery in any form and shape is unacceptable to the very sense of Quran. It has eradicated the evil of slavery, in the first instance, by giving incentive for setting free the already enslaved human beings. Secondly by closing the doors for further enslavement when in 47:4 it ordered to release all captives of war once peace is established. "Therefore when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight) smite at their necks; at length when ye have thoroughly subdued them bind a bond firmly (on them): [red]thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens.[/red]  Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you some with others.  But those who are slain in the way of Allah He will never let their deeds be lost."

Mind it that war has been the only source of slavery in the ancient Arab world. Highlight in red nees attention.

Furthermore, if muslim rulers have been in possession of large 'Harms' it cannot be said as islamic education. If Nakhas was run in civilization center of muslim empire it is not mistake of Isalm but that of the people.

One more food for thought:
If extra marital relation with female slaves is allowed, why it is not allowed for male slaves? 'Ma Malakat Aimanukum' is not gendre specific. MOMENOON in all respects concerns both genders as far as relavent ayaat of Surah 23 and 70 are concerned.

Please think!
