What is the Xikma behind Slavery

[Sheikh Mustafa]

7. Ras�lull�h (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: "There are three types of people whose sal�t is not accepted, nor is any other good act of theirs accepted. One is a slave who runs away from his master. The second is a woman whose husband is displeased with her. The third is a person who is in a state of intoxication."

Can someone tell me why our religion tolerated Slavery? So if I am a slave, and I run away, My Salah will not be accepted untill I come back to my Master. So he has a right to owned me? I do not get it.

Islam come when slavery was already established across the world. Islam didn't outright ban, abolish or discourage the practices that were established; it did it gradually. For instance, it didn't outright ban drinking alcohol. Over the course of the prophet's (pbuh) dacwa, Islam encouraged the release of slaves, conditioned the forgiveness of certain sins with releasing slaves, made it a great ajr to release slaves, etc. Over the course of the Islamic history, most slaves were released, particularly those who become Muslim.

because your head is filled with man made laws and cultural taboos. you do not question what god wills, that is the point of islam, to submit to the will of god. only ppl captured in time of war fi sabilillah can be made slaves. that is the only legitimate war. and they have rights faaar better than that of the slaves of non muslim nations. come on!

Your Answer is not convincing Akhii. How is it Discouraging to Say, " The Salah of those Slaves who run away would not be accepted". It sounds like Encouraging to me. I don't think there is a hadith that said, Anyone who do not drink alcohol's salah would not be accepted before Alcohol would was banned. There were other customs like marrying your father's widow, burrying girls alive etc which Islam jumped right to ban. Even when Muslims were stronger than everybody and have captured everywhere, Slavery was still encouraged by making it obligatory for slaves not to run away from their masters and Not making nikaax required for slaves girls etc. There has to be another Xikma behind it. MY Fair and Good load would not allow someone to own another human being like an animal and use it to their pleasure even if they become muslims. I will ask sheikh cabdiraxmaan. This so personal to me because most of the Slaves were blacks like me.

[DR-YALAXOOW]

there is NOO XIGMA behind it my friend.. its just pure fabrication by ancient arabs in Arabia.. SLAVERY IS WRONG..

This is like you saying there was no xikma in Allah gradually outlawing khamr, instead, He should have outlawed it outright. You only chose to focus on this particular hadith and ignore the many ahadith that talk about slavery, particularly treating well, releasing slaves, etc.

Look at you mustafa, not even a sheikh for a month and you think you know better than your creator? This is no joke akhi, be careful what you say. You know very well how the qur'an talks about slaves and the whole practice. To disagree with it is straight up gaalnimo! Do not be like this disgusting munaafiq named Dr yalaxoow
