[quote]So I gather from you that drinking was gradually forbidden. I agree.

1) Slavery was discouraged but not forbidden during the time of the Prophet. So the forbidding command is an implication of the Koran? Right? The forbidding command is not explicit. So can there be imposing commands which are not explicit? I.E., My sub question (if you dont mind my analogical deductions :) would be about the implicit obligation of Hijab?

2) Also, Could it not have been that, despite having slaves, sexual relations with slaves have been discouraged if not forbidden at the time slavery existed in Arabia? Also I am not sure whether sexual relations with slaves was forced?

See the following narrative:

Translation of Sahih Muslim: Book 008, Number 3373:

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) reported: We took women captives, and we wanted to do 'azl with them. We then asked Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) about it, and he said to us: Verily you do it, verily you do it, verily you do it, but the soul which has to be born until the Day of judgment must be born.
