[quote]Dear broth Tariq & Si Sadia A.A You both bothered well & I appreciate this, but these are not new questions and answers of the subject. I do agree with Broth Tariq Hashmi; and would not say or add more different than this except some of them. As I understand Saadia’s main points are following: 1. But why did he keep any in the first place? And once that answer is solved, the next question would be, 2. if he did keep them, why have sexual relations with them, when he had so many wives (not that not having any would justify relations with the former)? Fidelity to one's spouse is not just an Islamic virtue, but a universal thing, which many Muslims scholars will refer to as "human nature". Why is it so conveniently shunned when it comes to the Prophet (sws)? Or is this just a myth we insist on developing and developing and developing just to satisfy our conscience, since no other answer has so far been effectively derived? 3. If slavery were to exist in the world today, and you had a leader, trying to convince his people to rid themselves of slavery, how much would you listen to him, if he were to say, "For starters, I'm keeping a slave and demonstrating to you, how they ought to be treated!" That's the very first criticism you - or at least, I - will level against him i.e. hypocrisy. Please don't construe this as an attempt to defile our dearest Prophet (sws). I love him, and I am only attempting to either understand what he did, oMy r perhaps, whether he did this at all. Regarding 1st Q, we refer to Surah Nisa ( 24), as it is called HALAL to marry those of (slave girls). So it is clear that prophet did not keep but it was according to the wishes of Allah. Here one thing we have to accept these verses were sent to Rasul after a war fought. War were fought by Holy Prophet as AMIR or Governor of the state or during his time. Slaves were not kept by soldiers, it was duty of Amir to give out these salves to others or to exchange with enemies to have their own slaves back. So it is again clear that prophet did not ask any one to give him slaves as he show them how to treat this. But if we want to know y Allah has given him this order or judgment to keep slaves; this shows us that this was the requirement of circumstances or to over come situation; and maintain a well society, because he was not for one or two but for ALL. If again we do not agree, then we should give our own suggestion what should be done there at the time? Regarding 2nd Q, it is also shown in the Holy Quran (I can quote if you want) that one can have sexual relations with them. So again this shows that Holy Prophet did not do this according to his own wishes but Allah. If any one, of his family members or society made objection, he must have explained them in the light of Holy Quran; and they understood. And holy prophet did according to the wishes of Allah, so there is nothing more important to him than wishes of Allah. Then again, if we think this did not suit our Rasul; and it was not good for a status of women of that time and now. So I think he is wrong. (this all was according to Allah, and Allah knows better what it is good for us). Because, if Holy prophet was wrong, then Allah must have told this, or if the explanation of the verses subjected in this regard are wrong, then one should explain these again but not according to his own wishes. As Allah regarded his prophet “ who he obeyed Rasul, obeyed Allah” so there is not doubt to him. And as women status is concerned, it is beatitude for her that Allah sent instruction to His Nabi to help him; and showed a way in the regard when these women are to be seen respectable. But, if one woman say, I do not like that kind of life, where my emotions, feelings are destroyed, then First, she can run away from her master, but he will not let her go, if he lets her go, Then, She need a lot more things to lead a life except freedom, she need shelter, and safety of her life; and when she goes to earn, how people will receive, treat her. However we accepted that she would manage this, but when she comes back, she is alone at home, no relations behind, if anyone comes she could do nothing but wept and no one will come to help her. Again accepted she faced this, but eyes of predators will not leave her, if she not wanted to have relations with them, but they would try to do the same, and one-day she will loose. And accept again if she faces all, but no one marry her, and she will loose nature requirement of her body forever, which she gave priority first. And this is quran and sunnat that gave her all above requirements and a respectable life. If u do not agree, then ask a woman of to day like that……… Regarding 3rd Q, No one will dare to do this job, and no one is able to be so, if there are, then wait for time, when it comes we will agree too. One thing last: if you find any answer then, tell me too. And then answer the following: 1. When you know (prophet did or did not) this, then your love will be less/more/same about? One thing more, please, It is said that we should search Allah then to ask, “where Allah lives? Where Allah lives? As a poet says “ I sought to hear the voice of God, and climbed up the topmost steeple, but God declared go down again, I dwell among the people” So search, if you find him, then surely you have already known Holy Prophet coming to HIM. Because Allah tells about his rasules and rasules about Allah. (if I can not get you, please do explain) Regards, A.karime Jacobabad[/quote]
