Jazakum Allah, brothers. I live in a lonely village in Indonesia and the topic of slavery is rarley discussed here (as far as I know), and yet it is so important because liberalism has already raised in the city and university environments.
@@ZakirNaikIsGodplease don’t take random creation as God. You Hindus love doing this. No, there is only one God and He is above all, and is the only one worthy of worship. Fan you understand this simple truth?
Stop deflecting. You talk about the unique western slave trade when Arabs and Islam were a long time in Africa before the Europeans. No culture papers over slavery or excuses it.

No matter how well slaves are treated, slavery is still unjustified. A slave is not free and has not the right for self determination. No man should be the property of another man.
Indeed but sadly some don’t value that freedom as shown in some of the rhetoric in this video. Rest assure as long as liberalism and democracy are staple points of society we shall never see islamic style slavery or injustice.
Islam works to abolish slavery how do you prove you own yourself for example if you work for someone do they own you or are you a slave because you face consequences we are not saying owning people for no reason owning random people is not but only in war bad people prisoner of wars it's situations but ofc you need to free or ransom the slave if he asks to even if he was fighting you in war Much more better then killing them I don't understand the context tho
@@kazok_ousama First it is wrong to wage war on innocent people, kill and take some as slaves. Being stronger than your neighbor who is not a threat to you does not mean you can use him as your property. You should love your neighbor as you love yourself if even he believes differently. But Muhammad was raiding everyone he could conquer and imposing Islam on them and making some slaves. Because it is written in Islam holy book some Muslims in this day and age still believe they should attack and force Islam on others until the whole world is made Islamic. This is currently happening in the Sahel where jihadists are fighting some black African governments in order to take over their countries and their lands. In this fight no Arab country is coming to the aid of the black Africans. When you agree to work for someone under the terms that each party can decide to terminate the contract, then it is simply buying and selling of labor. But if you are forced to work for someone who will unilaterally determine your reward and will not allow you to go whenever you wish to go, then it is slavery. This is what is happening in the Arab countries when blacks and Asians go there in search of work. Some of the Arabs think God has created the blacks as their slaves and they tend to use them as such. You can google "modern slavery in Saudi Arabia" to check this out. When Britain determined that slavery was wrong, not only did they stop the practice in Britain, they fought against it elsewhere. They fought against the practice in Africa and freed slaves from their Islamic slave raiders. Some traditional rulers who made gains by the slave trade resisted the British. Others who felt oppressed by the Islamic slave raiders welcomed the British. The world is becoming a better place to live in not because of the spread of Islam but because of the understanding that each human being has some basic rights and the right to self determination.

@@trendafile6356 Lol. It's pretty common knowledge tbh, and quite widely discussed. I was just suggesting that they could've mentioned it here since they made a whole video on the topic. And there's so many more people accepting Islam these days. _I wonder why_. "..verily the truth is clear from the falsehood.." I'd politely suggest you do some research before making random claims.
@@trendafile6356 ahh I see. I'm sorry about that. I get what you mean. Many a times asking questions about belief is seen as some sort of a crime. The community is afraid of deviation and they deny engaging in sensitive topics, which I'd say is ironic because that approach itself creates more doubts than otherwise. The community should do better. On the bright side, due to internet we can find the answers online. Just gotta be extremely careful where we get the information from. There's a lot of misinformation online as well. It's imperative to be armed with the right knowledge.
14:07 It was Rabai Ben Amer (ربعي ابن عامر)and his famous saying to Rustum (رستم) the Persian commander, when Rustum asked him why they came (the Muslims) at the time of Qadisiyah conquest. (غزوة القادسية) فقال: "الله ابتعثنا لنخرج من شاء من عباده من عبادة العباد إلى عبادة رب العباد، ومن ضيق الدنيا إلى سعتها، ومن جور الأديان إلى عدل الإسلام" إلخ. He said: "Allah has sent us to bring out whom He wills of His servants from the worship of the servants to the worship of the Lord of the servants, and from the narrowness of the world to its vastness, and from the oppression of religions to the justice of Islam" etc.
A more accurate movie portrayal of American chattel slavery is "12 Years A Slave". That is also the title of the book. This unlike "Django Unchained" is not fictional.

I think perhaps this was one of the most comprehensive videos made on slavery. Combined with other materials I studied, Alhamdulilah I now have a very good understanding over the wide and distinguished differences between the European experience and the Muslim experience on slavery.

1- absolutely ( if there is a humane treatment) 2- there is something called "mukataba" which is a contract between the slave and the owner to free himself for money (which the master or people can donate to help him) 3- didn't watch the video so I don't know what you're talking about
The man(Abu Huraira) who quoted highest number of narrations from rasulullah(phuh) wanted to be a slave if there were no hajj and taking care of one's parent.
I'm assuming your American because of the flag on your profile. Your own country allows slavery and is inherently designed to imprison its own population. The 13th Amendment of the US Constitution states: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." In other words, by law, slavery still exists in the US but is limited as a punishment for crime. Hence the highly inflated US prison population and privately owned prison because the US needs slaves to keep the prison industrial complex moving. All you need is a conviction or a plea bargain and you have a new slave. - commented by @strifelord5239

I understand the video to roughly be constructed in the following way: 1. The existence or rather reticence against racism in Islam with proofs and examples. 2 The attempt to show that there were significant differences between slavery on a plantation in Virginia anno 1700 and the same in the Islamicate world, whether it be in Ottoman lands or India or Arabia (just to give some general geographic pointers). 3. The existence of a "discourse of emancipation". Again with proofs and examples from the core texts and sources of Islam. 4. The responses to various imagined questions or in some cases "straw men" or other rhetorically constructed questions that are either loaded or leaning towards one or the other outcome. Starts around the 35 min mark. Trying to teach how to prepare for a polemical situation basically with those who wish to criticise muslims for allowing slavery to go on for so long. If we look at the first point of racism in general and anti-black racism in particular, a salient feature in the kind of slavery practiced on the plantations in the film mentioned by Mr Hijab, this is of course not the main organising principle in what is termed "Islamicate civilisations". The term refers to societies that order themselves along the lines of the tenets and precepts and sources that make up Islam, in whatever form then it manifests itself. Usually such societies are also dominated by Muslims but that is not a necessary requirement for it to be deemed "Islamicate". In the Persian lands, although nominally under rule of the Umayyads, the majority population was not muslim at all. Same goes for what we today refer to as Egypt. Racism and anti-black Racism in particular are not the main theme in the time of the Prophet nor in any other time after him. It begins with Bilal and Salman, two companions and then goes onwards as we examine it. The proofs are there that as far as Muhammad (pbuh) is concerned as well as his most prominent companions, that type of slander was not entertained at all. In fact it was heavily censored and action was taken against it when it surfaced. But. There was racist slander. Against Bilal who struggled to find anybody to marry. And against Salman as well. That is also well attested. So the racist idea existed in the society and it did feature more prominently when we go into racism and look at anti-black racism. But it wasn´t solely on the basis of skin color but seemed more to do with being an "outsider" with no proper lineage that the arabs of the day rated or respected. However. The Quran itself speaks of black and white in such terms, although any mufassir who did a months worth of studies would easily explain that those color terms were about existential concepts and not actual colors. But still, anti-blackness was very much present even during the Prophets life time as well known examples show. This of course is a necessary component to understand the kind of slavery that existed in the Islamicate world contrasting it with the one in Virginia for instance. After the Prophet there is a whole host of writers, from Al-Jahiz onwards, who clearly document the anti-black racism of the day. So this idea that somehow, because Muhammad said so, just like with alcohol, then suddenly all muslims just transformed. Or that if they didn´t transform it was just a very tiny minority and should be treated as anomalies and discounted, is erroneous. There very much was anti-black racism with the typical tropes of blacks being lazy and fickle and unintelligent. If you read the foreword of Shaykh Ahmadu Bamba from Senegal and his book "Masalik al Jinaan" he writes: “Do not turn down [this book’s] benefits because I am from among the blacks. The most honored servant with God is, without a doubt, the most reverent. And blackness of body signals neither weakness of mind nor lack of understanding.” He died in 1927, just incase somebody feels that Al-Jahiz and Bilal are too old to be examples for the present. The people he was writing to were Arabs and Berbers. As for the posts 2-4 above, I do not feel it was more than a chat or surface level scrutiny of the topic from Mr Hijab or any of the other participants. No examples of an emancipatory movement were given from any time in the history of the Muslim or Islamicate civilised world. Certainly not one that pre-dates and is equal to or surpasses that which happens in the beginning of the 1800s and culminates in a civil war in the US and the UK essentially outlawing any slavery or trade of slaves. Something, by the way, that now is legio in all parts of the Muslim majority or Islamicate world. You are welcome to try to open a slave market in Islamabad or Riyadh and see how far you get. But that isn´t because some Shaykh found the light. No mention or even better, a sincere discussion, was undertaken when stating clearly emancipatory Quranic wording or Hadiths from the Prophet with clear emancipatory messages and how none of that seems to have had any effect on the bulging and ever growing slave trade of the Islamicate world. Not beyond some kind personal actions of a few named individuals and even then, said individuals did so for their own benefit (often to expiate a sin they incurred). No discussion was had about the basis within Islamic sources, the Quran foremost, on why it is categorically as well as consequentially wrong (not to mention how it is so from a virtue ethics perspective) to enslave, buy and sell people in general, and defenseless children in particular and how this is why there was such clear emancipatory messaging in both the Quran and the Hadith of the Prophet. Mans dignity was enshrined by God/Allah(swt) and slavery as a practice was an affront to this and should be, in it´s own way, discontinued. Just like alcohols impact on society needed to be reduced and then all but eliminated, but in stages because in it there was also some benefit. Instead a valuable point of coming together with the "liberals" and whomever else of the same idea of mans dignity no matter his station and race and origin is lost just to prepare for "online battle". The concept of sex slavery in particular is not touched on either other than in passing and is one of the most egregious forms as the only form of slavery that could be argued to be permissible or morally acceptable (for a short time until emancipatory action is taken), the one as a captured enemy soldier, cannot apply to women and children as they are per shariah definition non-combatants. No mention is made to the over 1000 years of scholarship and not one single emancipatory book decrying the practice of slavery in the muslim/Islamicate world and taking to task all those who continued with such an abhorrent practice that clearly defiles and denigrates the dignity of man as should have been understood by those who spent their whole lives studying the sources of Islam. There are many books on how to eat, sit, stand, how high the pants should be, how to wear a beard and cut hair and so on. But no emancipation. Sorry. Perhaps they felt that the Prophet already covered it and they were late anyway for an appointment at the slave market? Essentially Mr Hijab is on the same page as he has been in the past on most of his topics. He feels he represents something blameless or elevated in position, something that currently doesn´t exist anywhere except in Mr Hijabs online posts (and mind?) and can with ease be questioned as to if it ever has existed at any time or place in human history other than in minds and pages of books or online posts. And from this position, he takes pot shots and other rhetorical and polemical and other types of combative steps against what he perceives to be the hegemony of "the West" or "liberals" or any other such epithet. The same society he lives in and of and benefits greatly from. It doesn´t feel sincere at all. It´s just a game. Some kind of online polemical version of MMA but with the sincerity and honest inquiry missing giving the discussion exactly the same depth as the mat in an octagon and the same punching power as an actual phantom punch. A slight bounce if you do your best and you might feel a presence if you carry your aligned crystals with you. And you guys listening are just lapping it up, no questions asked. You guys must really be hurting for living in "the West" to so easily accept what is being said here.
@Silkin But it is abolished, Silkin. You are aware of this? I have given you the references of the various muslim majority nations to have done so. And it was an institution that, should all Muslims have acted as per the Quranic verses and the Hadiths you mentioned yourself, the instution would have first been severely weakened and then ultimately dissapeared (in other words, abolished). So if this is so, Silkin, how do you square that with your statement that slavery is a noble and beneficial institution? Are you claiming to know and understand this issue in a way that Allah (swt) and the Prophet (pbuh) didnt? Would that be logical that the Quran and the Prophet would have acted in a way that weakens and then abolishes a noble and beneficial institution?
@@seletarroots3258 Mulk alyameen is part of Islam. What it is: taking combatants, as well as taking those who came WITH the enemy army whether as cooks or their wives, etc. What it is NOT: taking free people from non-combatant, non-battlefield environments. What is is NOT: forcing yourself upon a female POW
@@2ARM4170 Using prisoners of war instead of putting them to death has been a practice among most if not all nations. It´s a basic rationale that can have more noble aims added to it at a later stage. Or after the fact if you wish. Sadly the taking of non-combatants and keeping slaves for the purpose of sexual gratification (here once designated a slave you can no longer refuse your master) was a widespread practice in the Islamicate world. It came to an end only in the mid to late 1800s mainly under severe pressure for abolishment from the Colonial masters such as Britain and France. Not exactly paragons of morality themselves bu at least they had such movements. These movements to put an end to the practice of taking a free man and making him your slave or taking women to be your slave and used as you please had very little organised opposition in the Islamicate world. Which is my point, a point Hijab fails to counter in his exposé.
@@seletarroots3258 The prophet (pbuh) himself had indentured servants and married a captive (safiyya). The prophetic tradition limits slavery at the source but multiplies the methods of freeing them. They are granted rights. They are part of the household. They can have normal consensual relations with the master. They can't be flogged. Or castrated. Or abused. Or overburdened. Ofcourse, it is not meant to be a 'fun' experience. These are either crminals (combatants) or the women they brought with the srmy. There is one main wisdoms behind mulk alyameen in Islam: Exposing the captive non-Muslims to the truth of Islam This video was not a historical exercise. This was a religious discussion. It was not meant to justify practices by certsin sultans and rulers. Which was clear from the start. Br Hijab was clearly outlining what Islam and Shari'a say about this matter. Irrespective of what actualized during Islamic history (which can't all be painted in one brush, as you are doing). Different captives had different experiences under different Muslim empires. Like the mamluks. To reiterate: the Islamic model categorically bans enslaving free men. Captives are taken from the battlefield, and then there are 4 choices: Ransom Exchange Set free without charge Taken as servants and sold as such.
these are not the best explanations - Slavery is a part of Islam. Slavery is part of jihad, and jihad will remain as long there is Islam. He argued against the idea that slavery had ever been abolished, insulting those who espouse this view as ignorant, not scholars. They are merely writers.

This the first part... Part 1 of 2 This is how Islam eliminated slavery in the world! And Why did no civilization or religion eliminated slavery before Islam? - This article explains these four points in a brief summary: 1- Verses of liberating the slaves in the Qur’an and Al-Hadith. (Nine Proofs) 2- What was the condition of slaves before Islam? 3- Why was no civilization or religion eliminated slavery before Islam? 4- Why does Islam allow Muslims to take Captives of war? (They were not slaves), and how did it freed them? 1️⃣ 🔵 The verses liberating slaves in the Qur’an and Hadith: ▪︎ Islam is the first law and religion that legislated the liberation of slaves, and Islam has come with integrated solutions to abolish slavery in the world: 1 🕳 Allah Almighty has made it clear in the Qur’an that all human beings are equal: 🔸️Allah said: {O humanity! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may ˹get to˺ know one another. Surely the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous among you. Allah is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware (13)} (Al Hujurat) 2 🕳 And Allah Almighty has made liberating slaves one of the greatest things a person can do to please him (Allah): 🔸️ Allah said: {If only they had attempted the challenging path ˹of goodness instead˺!(11) And what will make you realize what ˹attempting˺ the challenging path is?(12) It is to free a slave,(13) or to give food in times of famine(14)} (Al balad) 3 🕳 And God Almighty has ordained several ways to liberate slaves, and among them are expiations for some sins: 🔸️Allah said: {Allah will not call you to account for your thoughtless oaths, but He will hold you accountable for deliberate oaths. The penalty for a broken oath is to feed ten poor people from what you normally feed your own family, or to clothe them, or to free a bondsperson(Free a slave). But if none of this is affordable, then you must fast three days...(89)} (Al Ma'ida) 4 🕳 Likewise, the obligation of liberation of slaves as penance for a man who commit "Dehar" which is a form of divorce. (Making his wife as forbidden for him as his own mother!): 🔸️Allah said: {Those who divorce their wives in this manner, then ˹wish to˺ retract what they said, must free a slave before they touch each other. This ˹penalty˺ is meant to deter you. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.(3)} (Al Mujadila) 5 🕳 Likewise the liberation of slaves as penance for killing by mistake: 🔸️ God said: {It is not lawful for a believer to kill another except by mistake. And whoever kills a believer unintentionally must free a believing slave and pay blood-money to the victim’s family-unless they waive it charitably. But if the victim is a believer from a hostile people, then a believing slave must be freed. And if the victim is from a people bound with you in a treaty, then blood-money must be paid to the family along with freeing a believing slave. Those who are unable, let them fast two consecutive months-as a means of repentance to Allah. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.(92)} (An-Nisa) 6 🕳 As well as, Allah has decreed for Muslims to free captives of war as an act of grace: 🔸️ Allah said: {..,then bind them firmly. Later ˹free them (Captives of war) either as˺ an act of grace or by ransom until the war comes to an end.. (4)} (Muhammad) 7 🕳 And Allah has made it clear that it is forbidden to enslave free people: ➡️ Allah said in Al-Hadith Al-Qudsi (Holy speech): [There are three who I will be their opponent on the Day of Resurrection:..., and a man who sold a free man and ate his price,...] 8 🕳 The Messenger of Allah Muhammad ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) showed the great reward for those who free the slaves: 🔹️ Abu Hurayrah reported: The Messenger of God ﷺ said: [Whoever is a Muslim man frees a believing slave, Allah will save every part of his body from the hell fire, with every part of the freed slave.] Hadeeth is agreed upon(1433) 9 ◾ The great companion Umar Ibn Al-Khattab said about the prohibition of enslaving people: ▪︎ {When did you enslave people when their mothers gave birth to them free!} 2️⃣ 🔵 What was the condition of slaves before Islam? ▪︎ Slavery is one of the things that were prevalent before Islam in all civilizations of the earth, so other religions called for slavery and servitude, at a time when Islam was calling for the liberation of slaves and equality between human beings. Islam dried up its sources, called for its abandonment, and made freeing the slaves one of the best deeds that would bring the human closer to Allah almighty, and steps began to forbid it from all sides. 🔸️Allah Said: {Later ˹free them (Captives of war) either as˺ an act of grace or by ransom until the war comes to an end.. (4)} (Muhammad) 3️⃣ 🔵 Why had no civilization or religion eliminated slavery before Islam? Please read part 2 of 2
@facts.explained. None of this is about abolishing slavery. It's all about freeing one of your own slaves as compensation for sin or to be charitable. It does not challenge the right to own slaves. In essence it condones the institution. It certainly did not "eliminate" slavery. Muhammed himself especially still owned slaves at the time of his death.
It’s one thing to measure off of what’s controllable But what about those who neglect those who do not appeal to the majority demand/ dictations but because of their genes - their probability of being able to be successful in a marriage lessens. And so marriage becomes less fulfilling than being sinful in this world- and that being openly blind is also seemingly acceptable in a lot of our discourses as Muslims who aren’t United At all
First off I am Muslim. And I and African-American. Let’s make it very simple, if you believe slavery is a good thing then you must imagine yourself being ok with being a slave. Tomorrow, your kids your wife, your mother and father. You must be happy and accept it as a part of life. And when the master wants to sleep with your slave daughter your must be ok with it. So as long as you are ok with that then carry on saying you are ok with the “ humane” kind of slavery and I won’t stop you.😊
Nobody's okay with it. What Mohamed Hijab is saying is abolishing slavery might not be as easy as saying we'll abolish slavery. Maybe it's even impossible to accomplish. It's better to accept that reality and regulate it. Islam stopped slavery at its source and multiplied the ways to free them. Eventually they'll all be free.
@@MohamedGXthe Islamic conquest justified slavery an a lot of racist Arabs at worst still used slavery agaisnt many races. Yes islam did abolish slavery and Islam justifies it for a good cause to treat a slave like equal
@@ssj4goku18825theepic it didn't abolish it though. Islam regulated slavery. Islam prohibited unwarranted attacks on innocent peaceful people. Islam prohibited other means of making people slaves.

Slavery was actually common in China. Fun fact, Most Vietnamese citizens surname Nguyen used to be Chinese but they changed their names to escape slavery from China to settle in Vietnam. Nguyen dynasty was created.
Slavery still exists today, I can think of one example where it exists, and that is in an Islamic School in the North. There is no physical violence shown toward staff that are given unreasonable demands however there are verbal threats and bad treatment toward staff by the seniors there almost degrading the staff if they do not listen. So this is Slavery too.

@@khalidqawdhan3265 He was made a slave forcefully by the caravan heading towards Madinah. They bought him and it was Rasoolﷺ with the Sahabah who freed him. By planting date palms and payed the debt.
When the brother asked, "is there any legal way to enslave someone today?", the response that, "there isn't actual a way..the only way of doing is through war. " is false. There are multiple ways to enslave someone today, for example, Umm Ibrahim, Maria al-Qibtiyya was given as a gift to the Prophet (PBUH) by Al-Muqawqis the ruler of Alexandria, so if a anyone "gifts" you their child to be your slave then that is one way. Another way, is if a woman willingly "gifts" herself to you as a slave then what is wrong? or if by buying, for example, going to the Syrian refugee camps and buying from the parents their children, what is wrong with that? or agreeing with the Chinese government to sell you Uighurs, who are a conquered enslaved people, you would be buying them and if you wish you'd free them or keep them, what is wrong with that? if a person can't pay blood money, he is enslaved for the duration of payment, what is wrong with that? etc, So to say "only way of doing is through war" shows first a lack of understanding concerning the subject and a lack of understanding of what "war" is?
Was Maria qibtiyya already a slave or in indentured servitude? How could she have been transferred to someone as a free person ? If so, then this is just transferring someone who is already in that state (i.e. being a slave in one way shape or form) to the custody of another. But in Islam, you can’t take/ abduct/ force regular free folk -outside of war -and bring them into the fold of slavery.

A very similar incident like that of the American civil war that can be observed in history happened in Russia just prior to the Communist rise in power is the abolishment of serfdom, which played a major part in the rise of communism but also led the country to a very severe economic catastrophe for all the classes in society including the poor/non clergy sub society because of its cascading effect in the Labour Market. Honestly the Islamic model is not something societies might like but the one they definitely need. It is in perfect harmony with the natural social laws of human interaction.
No it isn’t, name a situation where the effects of the Arab slave trade still reciprocates today, the Afro Americans are still suffering the repercussions of today.

Today, due to science, people know before the child is born whether it is a boy or a girl and it is also known before rain, so plz someone tell me about this hadith, The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The keys of the unseen are five and none knows them but Allah: (1) None knows (the sex) what is in the womb, but Allah: (2) None knows what will happen tomorrow, but Allah; (3) None knows when it will rain, but Allah; (4) None knows where he will die, but Allah (knows that); (5) and none knows when the Hour will be established, but Allah." sahih al Bukhari 7379
With regards to weather, people use estimates wth technology, we don't necessairly know with 100% certainty what the weather will be tomorrow and with climate change its only getting harder and harder With determining gender of baby, UC Baby org says no method guarantees 100% accuracy when determining gender, meaning theres always going to be suprises we may find once the baby is born (example would be defective reproductive organs)
What I’m about to say might not be favorable or popular or even acceptable. But given that Muslims during the first generation of Islam had access to woman , whether it was through marriage or concubinage is very similar to what young men face today. With the rise in economic costs and cost of living, it’s quite hard for men to be able to live a stress free family life. This is why other forms of social union between men and women are emerging. I truely understand the good intentions behind fundamentalist of Islam, but things are changing rapidly. Ijtihad and qiyas has been considered in order to help others find ways to cohabitation between men and women without breaking the spiritual and physical union. Do I agree with sex outside of marriage ? Depends. Are you as a man able to take full responsibility for your actions towards the other person ? Nobody truely knows except yourself. May all be well and May we all be at least a hair better than we were yesterday. Additionally, have you been able to address the scrutinizing narrative laid out by some websites that show how Muslims men were barbaric and rapists towards slave woman ? Would be great if I can find a credible consultation , thank you.

@@billyjesus5442 no wonder muslims can't even decide whether earth is flat or round, they are still arguing about it all the time lol, they cling to the text in quran and hadiths so damn hard
Brothers I came to find a rational answer to tell my friend about this issue and all I found was basically what I call it stirring beside the pot. Brothers I’m not interested in your opinions. With all due respect, of course I’m interested in the facts in Quran and Hadith … There isn’t many videos about this issue and I like you guys so I wanted to hear from you guys, but this is just like you are trying to justify it
It was also inspired by the Muslim Arab slave trade. Oddly enough during Muhammad’s time he was born and slavery existed but when this guy decided God spoke to me, the book he produced says Allah institutionalized slavery and that caused the entire Muslim slave trade. So logically speaking the Quran was apart of the. domino effect that lead to the trans Atlantic slave trade
@@seanou2837 slavery in the Middle East before Muhammad was terrible and it got worse considering the Quran literally institutionalized slavery. The trans Atlantic slave trade happened because of the influence of the Arab muslim slave trade and mind you the Arab muslim slave trade went until the 1960s. Back to Muhammad, So now you had this eternal being (Allah) that ok’d slavery. Sure baby girls weren’t buried alive but Muhammad still followed the slavery rules made prior to his prophethood. Proof being sahih Muslim 1602 were he traded 2 black slaves for 1. Also you can’t deny that or say it’s false, literally it’s Sunna and you’d be denouncing your faith. Muhammad had an old woman and old man as old as 100 years old killed for criticizing him, he raped a 9 year old girl(that’s Sunna btw and Child marriages are still carried out in Muhammad’s name til this day), he took his adopted sons wife and said adoption is forbidden from now on, and so much more.
If you are black person who was traded by arab Muslims as slaves, who Mohammed thought were of less value to Arab slaves, then it’s interesting. As a black man there is no way I can follow Mohammed. Only the ignorant. The Arab Muslim slave trade, also known as the trans-Saharan trade or Eastern slave trade, is noted as the longest slave trade, having occurred for more than 1,300 years while taking millions of Africans away from their continent to work in foreign lands in the most inhumane conditions.
asalamualaikum, Thanks for making this video, you make the suggestion that we are not necessarily against the notion of slavery but rather the negative connotations associated with it due to colonial practices and that islam does not associate with that level of harshness. While I agree that in comparison to other societies slavery in the islamic sense is more forgiving, you seldom discuss the harsher realities of what it can actually be. For instance, taking women and children as slaves in a war, merely enslaved for being the wives and daughters of the enemy not necessarily combatants, nurses or assistants would be by todays standards harming an innocent as were the women taken captive of banu mustaliq (yes I know they were freed at the end I'm talking about why they were enslaved in the first place)and banu qurayza . Not only this, they are separated from their loved ones, forced to be with a stranger to them tantamount to a forced marriage and can easily be bought and sold as the master wishes. If you were to say there they were treated well, then fine but it doesn't address the calamity that befalls them I will put some examples in the bottom of the comment. Why is there relative indifference to their suffering from being enslaved in the first place? If you were to say that slavery was for their own good so that they are fed and clothed and looked after, great! except that looking after a person doesn't necessitate them to become your property that can be bought an sold. I don't think its plausible to take refugees, orphans, widows, homeless, and impoverished people as property for that same reason. I commend your efforts to address slavery in the islamic context but some people like me don't feel that you addressed the entirety of the issue here in this video so I hope that you can address these points in another one inshallah. "I met a woman like a gazelle. She increasingly looked behind her while crying. I said, “What are you looking for?” She said, “By God, I seek a man who, if he were alive, would surely recover us from you.” I realized that it was the man I had killed and I said, “Surely I killed him. This sword of his hangs by the saddle at its scabbard.” She said, “This, by God, is the scabbard of his sword. So sheath it, if you speak the truth.” I sheathed the sword and it was covered. He said: She cried and became resigned. Ibn Abı¯ Hadrad said: We went to the Prophet with sheep and cattle." -kitab al maghazi al waqidi page 779 "Abu¯ al-Shah˙ m al-Yahu¯dı¯ bought two women, with each one of themthree male children, for one hundred and fifty dinars. He kept saying, “Are you not of the Jewish faith?” The two women replied, “We will not depart from the religion of our people until we die!” They were crying." -kitab al maghazi al waqidi page 523
No, I appreciate this discussion, and I think, after reading the Quran, and going through the historical actions of a lot of peoples in Africa can stipulate that not everybody who said they were a follower of Islam actually follow Islam, instead they were using a form of economic practice that demandedslaves, or demanded slaves in one way or the other. And in which case it still generated victims, but these victimizers hid their intentions in Islam, therefore creating is making Islam a handmaiden of oppression.
What did you mean by Islam not allowing “assimilation” of slaves? I always thought this is what Islam used to practice and that this was why the decedents of slaves used to be free men and women after a generation or two.
True real ownership of everything is with Allah (SWT). If Allah (SWT) says something be it having a prisoner of war is permissible then it is permissible.
19:16 ﴿وَرَفَعنا بَعضَهُم فَوقَ بَعضٍ دَرَجاتٍ لِيَتَّخِذَ بَعضُهُم بَعضًا سُخرِيًّا﴾ [الزخرف: ٣٢] With all due respect, you should have looked that up instead of reading it wrong. Everyone makes slight mistakes in recitation sometimes, but you really chopped this up.
Worship is slavery? Ay in Islam. In Christianity worship is not slavery but expression of love to adoration of the maker. It’s not forced but done out of appreciation to God’s love.
There is no way that hideous beard style would be condoned by Muhammad (pbuh), there is likely a translation error lost to time about "having a beard and trimming the upper lip".
Qur'an (39:29): Allah sets forth the parable of a slave owned by several quarrelsome masters, and a slave owned by only one master. Are they equal in condition? Praise be to Allah! In fact, most of them do not know. Even the non-Muslims know this. St. Augustine famously said: A man has as many masters as vices.

Slavery is the control of people aganst there right to be free . The trading of one person by another the thing Muslims like you would like . You are trying to get out of admiring you're guilt .
This's part 2 of 2 (How Islam ended slavery in the world) 3 🔵 Why had no civilization or religion eliminated slavery before Islam? At the time when the prophet Muhammad ﷺ mission started, the slavery was a very normal and non painful reality, unsurprising, neither was a disgraceful reality, and the slaves masses crowded the Eastern and Western civilizations, no one cared about them and no reformer would think of rescuing them. Throughout the Christian Roman empire, slaves served in silence, and some of them were served food to the beasts on some occasions, and the Jews - according to the teachings of the Torah - organized the ways of slavery. As well the Dalit or as known (untouchables) in the Indian continent were and still are considered impure, and their sanctity is unrecognised, [ i.e. A son of a Brahman class woman fell into a well, and one of the untouchables could have saved him if his mother had given her permission, but the mother preferred that her son dies instead of letting him being touched by one of the untouchables!] The economy of all the civilizations of the world was based on slaves, who did the hard work for the rich and powerful, they somehow formed an integrated fabric, just as the rich need slaves, likewise slaves need rich masters who provide them with work and shelter, or else them and their family will perish. The Greek philosophy and philosophers didn't save the slaves either, it actually recognizes and encourages slavery in its thinking mind! Neither the religious piety that were embraced by the moncks/priests which darkened the earth did not do justice to them, until the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ spoke for the slaves! 4️⃣ 🔵 Why does Islam allow Muslims to take captives of war? (They were not slaves) And how did it freed them? ▪︎ It was not conceivable that Muslims should not have captives of war, while their muslim women were taken captive and their men and children enslaved. Likewise, it is a means of protection for Muslims and a deterrent to their enemies by not attacking them, so that they do not become captives and their women become maids. ▪︎ Islam gave captives of war rights equal to the free ones, so the prisoner has the right to food, drink, clothing and protection for him and his family, exactly like of the family of the man of the house, right to good treatment, as well as he has the right to complain in court if he suffers from any injustice. These rights are a great mercy for the captives of war, instead of facing a consequence of being thrown in dark prisons, or leaving them unprotected after losing battles, and to avoid their danger to the Muslims in future. The main goal of captives living in Muslim homes is to hear the word of God (The Hoy Qur’an), and often are liberated after they embrace Islam. ◾And Finally, Islam forbade slavery for inability to pay debts, as was customary in pre-Islamic civilizations: The Romans, and before them the Hebrews, sentenced the perpetrators of some crimes to slavery, and one of these crimes among the Romans was being unable to pay the debt. Islam rejected this view decisively, rather the insolvent will get a free help from the Zakat money. (Free state grants) 🔸️Allah said: {If it is difficult for someone to repay a debt, postpone it until a time of ease. And if you waive it as an act of charity, it will be better for you, if only you knew.(280)} (Al-Baqarah)
"How Islam ended slavery in the world" Do you mean in theory or in practice? Because slavery did not end with the advent of Islam. If anything, it increased dramatically. It was only when the same colonial powers that themselves benefitted greatly from slavery, whatever form, suddenly changed their minds about it and began emancipatory and other legal steps to stop the practice entirely. There is, as far as I can find and I did not hear Hijab mention it, no emancipatory movement in the muslim world. Neither from a practical standpoint nor a legal (shariah being changed for instance to forbid slavery). Certainly nothing that pre-dates the same movements in "the West" in from the 1800s and onwards.
@@seletarroots3258 Kindly read part 1 of my short presentation in comment section, and then read part 2 to understand the facts, how Islam eradicated slavery in the world. Salam, Pease
@@facts.explained. I have read through it but again, as with your part 2 and the comment I provided to it I have not seen any basis for what you claim which is that Islam eradicated slavery. If you look at the post I provided as a comment to Mr Hijabs video you will see that arguing that the sources of Islam contain emancipatory messages and anti-Slavery themes is not sufficient to show anything really. I mean Jesus never taught war, slavery, holy war or colonialism and conquering of other lands. Yet Christians have figured prominently in all of that. But if you bring it up they will say exactly that "Well look yeah ok but Jesus never told us to do so! So Christianity is spotless!". Same with communists. They will decry every single state that espoused being a communist state and say that none of them were. Communism is a utopia, a perfect place where no injustice exists and everybody is equal. And so they discount all the states, be it Soviet Union or Cuba or North Korea, on exactly that basis. Communism teaches good things, just things. See here! With quotes and everything. And yet in implementation, it looks completely different. It´s the same structure. In your case your claim is 1400 years of almost continuous slavery that only stops because western colonial powers militarily and otherwise intervene, after themselves happily partaking of horrific slavery practices and economic benefits therefrom by the way, is no match for your quotes from Quran and Hadith. Instead of taking a step back and asking yourself: if you figured this out today, 2023-01-19 wherever you are, how come over a 1000 years of Islamic scholarship missed this whole thing and instead happily helped and participated and encouraged slavery? Slavery grew significantly after Islams introduction, not diminish. Certainly no emancipation or emancipatory and shariah transformative movement existed prior to the emancipation movement begun in the west in the 1800s. Humility is necessary and self-criticism and introspection. Not apologetics and deflection and wishful thinking.

@@kazok_ousama First it is wrong to wage war on innocent people, kill and take some as slaves.

But Muhammad was raiding everyone he could conquer and imposing Islam on them and making some slaves.

In this fight no Arab country is coming to the aid of the black Africans.
When you agree to work for someone under the terms that each party can decide to terminate the contract, then it is simply buying and selling of labor. But if you are forced to work for someone who will unilaterally determine your reward and will not allow you to go whenever you wish to go, then it is slavery. This is what is happening in the Arab countries when blacks and Asians go there in search of work. Some of the Arabs think God has created the blacks as their slaves and they tend to use them as such. You can google "modern slavery in Saudi Arabia" to check this out.
When Britain determined that slavery was wrong, not only did they stop the practice in Britain, they fought against it elsewhere. They fought against the practice in Africa and freed slaves from their Islamic slave raiders. Some traditional rulers who made gains by the slave trade resisted the British. Others who felt oppressed by the Islamic slave raiders welcomed the British. The world is becoming a better place to live in not because of the spread of Islam but because of the understanding that each human being has some basic rights and the right to self determination.

I'm assuming your American because of the flag on your profile. Your own country allows slavery and is inherently designed to imprison its own population. The 13th Amendment of the US Constitution states: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
In other words, by law, slavery still exists in the US but is limited as a punishment for crime. Hence the highly inflated US prison population and privately owned prison because the US needs slaves to keep the prison industrial complex moving. All you need is a conviction or a plea bargain and you have a new slave. - commented by @strifelord5239

I understand the video to roughly be constructed in the following way:
1. The existence or rather reticence against racism in Islam with proofs and examples.
2 The attempt to show that there were significant differences between slavery on a plantation in Virginia anno 1700 and the same in the Islamicate world, whether it be in Ottoman lands or India or Arabia (just to give some general geographic pointers).
3. The existence of a "discourse of emancipation". Again with proofs and examples from the core texts and sources of Islam.
4. The responses to various imagined questions or in some cases "straw men" or other rhetorically constructed questions that are either loaded or leaning towards one or the other outcome. Starts around the 35 min mark. Trying to teach how to prepare for a polemical situation basically with those who wish to criticise muslims for allowing slavery to go on for so long.
If we look at the first point of racism in general and anti-black racism in particular, a salient feature in the kind of slavery practiced on the plantations in the film mentioned by Mr Hijab, this is of course not the main organising principle in what is termed "Islamicate civilisations". The term refers to societies that order themselves along the lines of the tenets and precepts and sources that make up Islam, in whatever form then it manifests itself. Usually such societies are also dominated by Muslims but that is not a necessary requirement for it to be deemed "Islamicate". In the Persian lands, although nominally under rule of the Umayyads, the majority population was not muslim at all. Same goes for what we today refer to as Egypt. Racism and anti-black Racism in particular are not the main theme in the time of the Prophet nor in any other time after him. It begins with Bilal and Salman, two companions and then goes onwards as we examine it. The proofs are there that as far as Muhammad (pbuh) is concerned as well as his most prominent companions, that type of slander was not entertained at all. In fact it was heavily censored and action was taken against it when it surfaced. But. There was racist slander. Against Bilal who struggled to find anybody to marry. And against Salman as well. That is also well attested. So the racist idea existed in the society and it did feature more prominently when we go into racism and look at anti-black racism. But it wasn´t solely on the basis of skin color but seemed more to do with being an "outsider" with no proper lineage that the arabs of the day rated or respected. However. The Quran itself speaks of black and white in such terms, although any mufassir who did a months worth of studies would easily explain that those color terms were about existential concepts and not actual colors. But still, anti-blackness was very much present even during the Prophets life time as well known examples show. This of course is a necessary component to understand the kind of slavery that existed in the Islamicate world contrasting it with the one in Virginia for instance. After the Prophet there is a whole host of writers, from Al-Jahiz onwards, who clearly document the anti-black racism of the day. So this idea that somehow, because Muhammad said so, just like with alcohol, then suddenly all muslims just transformed. Or that if they didn´t transform it was just a very tiny minority and should be treated as anomalies and discounted, is erroneous. There very much was anti-black racism with the typical tropes of blacks being lazy and fickle and unintelligent. If you read the foreword of Shaykh Ahmadu Bamba from Senegal and his book "Masalik al Jinaan" he writes:
“Do not turn down [this book’s] benefits because I am from among the blacks. The most honored servant with God is, without a doubt, the most reverent. And blackness of body signals neither weakness of mind nor lack of understanding.”
He died in 1927, just incase somebody feels that Al-Jahiz and Bilal are too old to be examples for the present. The people he was writing to were Arabs and Berbers.
As for the posts 2-4 above, I do not feel it was more than a chat or surface level scrutiny of the topic from Mr Hijab or any of the other participants. No examples of an emancipatory movement were given from any time in the history of the Muslim or Islamicate civilised world. Certainly not one that pre-dates and is equal to or surpasses that which happens in the beginning of the 1800s and culminates in a civil war in the US and the UK essentially outlawing any slavery or trade of slaves. Something, by the way, that now is legio in all parts of the Muslim majority or Islamicate world. You are welcome to try to open a slave market in Islamabad or Riyadh and see how far you get. But that isn´t because some Shaykh found the light. No mention or even better, a sincere discussion, was undertaken when stating clearly emancipatory Quranic wording or Hadiths from the Prophet with clear emancipatory messages and how none of that seems to have had any effect on the bulging and ever growing slave trade of the Islamicate world. Not beyond some kind personal actions of a few named individuals and even then, said individuals did so for their own benefit (often to expiate a sin they incurred). No discussion was had about the basis within Islamic sources, the Quran foremost, on why it is categorically as well as consequentially wrong (not to mention how it is so from a virtue ethics perspective) to enslave, buy and sell people in general, and defenseless children in particular and how this is why there was such clear emancipatory messaging in both the Quran and the Hadith of the Prophet. Mans dignity was enshrined by God/Allah(swt) and slavery as a practice was an affront to this and should be, in it´s own way, discontinued. Just like alcohols impact on society needed to be reduced and then all but eliminated, but in stages because in it there was also some benefit.
Instead a valuable point of coming together with the "liberals" and whomever else of the same idea of mans dignity no matter his station and race and origin is lost just to prepare for "online battle". The concept of sex slavery in particular is not touched on either other than in passing and is one of the most egregious forms as the only form of slavery that could be argued to be permissible or morally acceptable (for a short time until emancipatory action is taken), the one as a captured enemy soldier, cannot apply to women and children as they are per shariah definition non-combatants. No mention is made to the over 1000 years of scholarship and not one single emancipatory book decrying the practice of slavery in the muslim/Islamicate world and taking to task all those who continued with such an abhorrent practice that clearly defiles and denigrates the dignity of man as should have been understood by those who spent their whole lives studying the sources of Islam. There are many books on how to eat, sit, stand, how high the pants should be, how to wear a beard and cut hair and so on. But no emancipation. Sorry. Perhaps they felt that the Prophet already covered it and they were late anyway for an appointment at the slave market?
Essentially Mr Hijab is on the same page as he has been in the past on most of his topics. He feels he represents something blameless or elevated in position, something that currently doesn´t exist anywhere except in Mr Hijabs online posts (and mind?) and can with ease be questioned as to if it ever has existed at any time or place in human history other than in minds and pages of books or online posts. And from this position, he takes pot shots and other rhetorical and polemical and other types of combative steps against what he perceives to be the hegemony of "the West" or "liberals" or any other such epithet. The same society he lives in and of and benefits greatly from. It doesn´t feel sincere at all. It´s just a game. Some kind of online polemical version of MMA but with the sincerity and honest inquiry missing giving the discussion exactly the same depth as the mat in an octagon and the same punching power as an actual phantom punch. A slight bounce if you do your best and you might feel a presence if you carry your aligned crystals with you.
And you guys listening are just lapping it up, no questions asked. You guys must really be hurting for living in "the West" to so easily accept what is being said here.
@Silkin But it is abolished, Silkin. You are aware of this? I have given you the references of the various muslim majority nations to have done so. And it was an institution that, should all Muslims have acted as per the Quranic verses and the Hadiths you mentioned yourself, the instution would have first been severely weakened and then ultimately dissapeared (in other words, abolished). So if this is so, Silkin, how do you square that with your statement that slavery is a noble and beneficial institution? Are you claiming to know and understand this issue in a way that Allah (swt) and the Prophet (pbuh) didnt? Would that be logical that the Quran and the Prophet would have acted in a way that weakens and then abolishes a noble and beneficial institution?

Mulk alyameen is part of Islam.
What it is: taking combatants, as well as taking those who came WITH the enemy army whether as cooks or their wives, etc.
What it is NOT: taking free people from non-combatant, non-battlefield environments.
What is is NOT: forcing yourself upon a female POW
@@2ARM4170 Using prisoners of war instead of putting them to death has been a practice among most if not all nations. It´s a basic rationale that can have more noble aims added to it at a later stage. Or after the fact if you wish.
Sadly the taking of non-combatants and keeping slaves for the purpose of sexual gratification (here once designated a slave you can no longer refuse your master) was a widespread practice in the Islamicate world. It came to an end only in the mid to late 1800s mainly under severe pressure for abolishment from the Colonial masters such as Britain and France. Not exactly paragons of morality themselves bu at least they had such movements. These movements to put an end to the practice of taking a free man and making him your slave or taking women to be your slave and used as you please had very little organised opposition in the Islamicate world. Which is my point, a point Hijab fails to counter in his exposé.
@@seletarroots3258
The prophet (pbuh) himself had indentured servants and married a captive (safiyya). The prophetic tradition limits slavery at the source but multiplies the methods of freeing them. They are granted rights. They are part of the household. They can have normal consensual relations with the master. They can't be flogged. Or castrated. Or abused. Or overburdened.
Ofcourse, it is not meant to be a 'fun' experience. These are either crminals (combatants) or the women they brought with the srmy.
There is one main wisdoms
behind mulk alyameen in Islam:
Exposing the captive non-Muslims to the truth of Islam
This video was not a historical exercise. This was a religious discussion. It was not meant to justify practices by certsin sultans and rulers. Which was clear from the start.
Br Hijab was clearly outlining what Islam and Shari'a say about this matter. Irrespective of what actualized during Islamic history (which can't all be painted in one brush, as you are doing). Different captives had different experiences under different Muslim empires. Like the mamluks.
To reiterate: the Islamic model categorically bans enslaving free men. Captives are taken from the battlefield, and then there are 4 choices:
Ransom
Exchange
Set free without charge
Taken as servants and sold as such.
Jazakallah khair brother. May Allah bless everyone at sapience
these are not the best explanations - Slavery is a part of Islam. Slavery is part of jihad, and jihad will remain as long there is Islam. He argued against the idea that slavery had ever been abolished, insulting those who espouse this view as ignorant, not scholars. They are merely writers.

@1:07:37 The 13th Amendment of the US Constitution states: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
In other words, by law, slavery still exists in the US but is limited as a punishment for crime. Hence the highly inflated US prison population and privately owned prison because the US needs slaves to keep the prison industrial complex moving. All you need is a conviction or a plea bargain and you have a new slave.
1. Working is optional for the "slaves" in US.
2. muslims enslaved non-muslims regardless if they a commited crime or not.
3. whataboutism.
I don't agree about the point of slavery vs death , sometimes fighting is necessary for any cause not just slavery , and we Muslims we have a share of it against colonialism
But u right slavery existed for ever in many forms it just change the skin
noble members of the Quraysh despised Bilal and called him "Ibn Sawda" (son of the black woman).🤔 black people were treated like garbage by Arab people who enslaved them. Let’s not sugar coat it. A lot of them are still like that today. 🤷🏾♂️
Sugar coating, that's exactly it!
I don't know how people cannot see it.
what has being a arab to do with being a muslim. They are more non arab muslims than arab muslim. islam doesn’t stand for racism and is against it.

They also castrated male African slaves.
We can concede what muslims did to their slaves historically were harmful, unislamic; nonetheless, that doesn't render the institution as immoral.

This the first part...
Part 1 of 2
This is how Islam
eliminated slavery in the world! And Why did no civilization or religion eliminated slavery before Islam?
- This article explains these four points in a brief summary:
1- Verses of liberating the slaves in the Qur’an and Al-Hadith. (Nine Proofs)
2- What was the condition of slaves before Islam?
3- Why was no civilization or religion eliminated slavery before Islam?
4- Why does Islam allow Muslims to take Captives of war? (They were not slaves), and how did it freed them?
1️⃣ 🔵 The verses liberating slaves in the Qur’an and Hadith:
▪︎ Islam is the first law and religion that legislated the liberation of slaves, and Islam has come with integrated solutions to abolish slavery in the world:
1 🕳 Allah Almighty has made it clear in the Qur’an that all human beings are equal:
🔸️Allah said: {O humanity! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may ˹get to˺ know one another. Surely the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous among you. Allah is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware (13)} (Al Hujurat)
2 🕳 And Allah Almighty has made liberating slaves one of the greatest things a person can do to please him (Allah):
🔸️ Allah said: {If only they had attempted the challenging path ˹of goodness instead˺!(11) And what will make you realize what ˹attempting˺ the challenging path is?(12) It is to free a slave,(13) or to give food in times of famine(14)} (Al balad)
3 🕳 And God Almighty has ordained several ways to liberate slaves, and among them are expiations for some sins:
🔸️Allah said: {Allah will not call you to account for your thoughtless oaths, but He will hold you accountable for deliberate oaths. The penalty for a broken oath is to feed ten poor people from what you normally feed your own family, or to clothe them, or to free a bondsperson(Free a slave). But if none of this is affordable, then you must fast three days...(89)} (Al Ma'ida)
4 🕳 Likewise, the obligation of liberation of slaves as penance for a man who commit "Dehar" which is a form of divorce. (Making his wife as forbidden for him as his own mother!):
🔸️Allah said: {Those who divorce their wives in this manner, then ˹wish to˺ retract what they said, must free a slave before they touch each other. This ˹penalty˺ is meant to deter you. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.(3)} (Al Mujadila)
5 🕳 Likewise the liberation of slaves as penance for killing by mistake:
🔸️ God said: {It is not lawful for a believer to kill another except by mistake. And whoever kills a believer unintentionally must free a believing slave and pay blood-money to the victim’s family-unless they waive it charitably. But if the victim is a believer from a hostile people, then a believing slave must be freed. And if the victim is from a people bound with you in a treaty, then blood-money must be paid to the family along with freeing a believing slave. Those who are unable, let them fast two consecutive months-as a means of repentance to Allah. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.(92)} (An-Nisa)
6 🕳 As well as, Allah has decreed for Muslims to free captives of war as an act of grace:
🔸️ Allah said: {..,then bind them firmly. Later ˹free them (Captives of war) either as˺ an act of grace or by ransom until the war comes to an end.. (4)} (Muhammad)
7 🕳 And Allah has made it clear that it is forbidden to enslave free people:
➡️ Allah said in Al-Hadith Al-Qudsi (Holy speech): [There are three who I will be their opponent on the Day of Resurrection:..., and a man who sold a free man and ate his price,...]
8 🕳 The Messenger of Allah Muhammad ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) showed the great reward for those who free the slaves:
🔹️ Abu Hurayrah reported: The Messenger of God ﷺ said: [Whoever is a Muslim man frees a believing slave, Allah will save every part of his body from the hell fire, with every part of the freed slave.] Hadeeth is agreed upon(1433)
9 ◾ The great companion Umar Ibn Al-Khattab said about the prohibition of enslaving people:
▪︎ {When did you enslave people when their mothers gave birth to them free!}
2️⃣ 🔵 What was the condition of slaves before Islam?
▪︎ Slavery is one of the things that were prevalent before Islam in all civilizations of the earth, so other religions called for slavery and servitude, at a time when Islam was calling for the liberation of slaves and equality between human beings.
Islam dried up its sources, called for its abandonment, and made freeing the slaves one of the best deeds that would bring the human closer to Allah almighty, and steps began to forbid it from all sides.
🔸️Allah Said: {Later ˹free them (Captives of war) either as˺ an act of grace or by ransom until the war comes to an end.. (4)} (Muhammad)
3️⃣ 🔵 Why had no civilization or religion eliminated slavery before Islam?

Islam never abolished slavery. The last countries to outlaw slavery are Muslim majority countries. This is all fabrications by racists.
@facts.explained. None of this is about abolishing slavery. It's all about freeing one of your own slaves as compensation for sin or to be charitable. It does not challenge the right to own slaves. In essence it condones the institution. It certainly did not "eliminate" slavery. Muhammed himself especially still owned slaves at the time of his death.
Praise be to the Creator. So glad you put this slavery thing into perspective. Very clear.
It’s one thing to measure off of what’s controllable
But what about those who neglect those who do not appeal to the majority demand/ dictations but because of their genes - their probability of being able to be successful in a marriage lessens.
And so marriage becomes less fulfilling than being sinful in this world- and that being openly blind is also seemingly acceptable in a lot of our discourses as Muslims who aren’t United
At all
Zakir Naik is God worship him
First off I am Muslim. And I and African-American. Let’s make it very simple, if you believe slavery is a good thing then you must imagine yourself being ok with being a slave. Tomorrow, your kids your wife, your mother and father. You must be happy and accept it as a part of life. And when the master wants to sleep with your slave daughter your must be ok with it. So as long as you are ok with that then carry on saying you are ok with the “ humane” kind of slavery and I won’t stop you.😊
Nobody's okay with it. What Mohamed Hijab is saying is abolishing slavery might not be as easy as saying we'll abolish slavery.
Maybe it's even impossible to accomplish. It's better to accept that reality and regulate it.
Islam stopped slavery at its source and multiplied the ways to free them. Eventually they'll all be free.
@@MohamedGXthe Islamic conquest justified slavery an a lot of racist Arabs at worst still used slavery agaisnt many races. Yes islam did abolish slavery and Islam justifies it for a good cause to treat a slave like equal
@@ssj4goku18825theepic it didn't abolish it though. Islam regulated slavery. Islam prohibited unwarranted attacks on innocent peaceful people.
Islam prohibited other means of making people slaves.
Islam made it obligatory to free slaves to obtain forgiveness for certain sins
In other words, Islam paved a way to abolish slavery .
He imagines himself as slave owner not slave.

Slavery still exists today, I can think of one example where it exists, and that is in an Islamic School in the North. There is no physical violence shown toward staff that are given unreasonable demands however there are verbal threats and bad treatment toward staff by the seniors there almost degrading the staff if they do not listen. So this is Slavery too.
Slavery is slavery and it’s disgusting if you to try to defend it and play the blame game
If you are a muslim and hates slaves then deal with this....

and many others...
Salman al farisi was not a slave
@@khalidqawdhan3265 He was made a slave forcefully by the caravan heading towards Madinah. They bought him and it was Rasoolﷺ with the Sahabah who freed him. By planting date palms and payed the debt.
When the brother asked, "is there any legal way to enslave someone today?", the response that, "there isn't actual a way..the only way of doing is through war. " is false.
There are multiple ways to enslave someone today, for example, Umm Ibrahim, Maria al-Qibtiyya was given as a gift to the Prophet (PBUH) by Al-Muqawqis the ruler of Alexandria, so if a anyone "gifts" you their child to be your slave then that is one way. Another way, is if a woman willingly "gifts" herself to you as a slave then what is wrong? or if by buying, for example, going to the Syrian refugee camps and buying from the parents their children, what is wrong with that? or agreeing with the Chinese government to sell you Uighurs, who are a conquered enslaved people, you would be buying them and if you wish you'd free them or keep them, what is wrong with that? if a person can't pay blood money, he is enslaved for the duration of payment, what is wrong with that? etc,
So to say "only way of doing is through war" shows first a lack of understanding concerning the subject and a lack of understanding of what "war" is?
That still falls under buying and selling a free person which is prohibited.
Which Rabbi said "buying and selling a free person" is prohibited?
Was Maria qibtiyya already a slave or in indentured servitude? How could she have been transferred to someone as a free person ?
If so, then this is just transferring someone who is already in that state (i.e. being a slave in one way shape or form) to the custody of another.
But in Islam, you can’t take/ abduct/ force regular free folk -outside of war -and bring them into the fold of slavery.
@@mohameda5947 There was no "transfer" she was "gifted" by the Patriarch of Alexandria Maquqas, alongside an eunuch Mabur & her sister, Shireen whom the Prophet (ﷺ) "gifted" to Hassan b. Thabit.
Wait you are expecting from a Christian, in this case a Patriach, what the Prophet (ﷺ) didn't expect, which is to follow what is permissible/impermissible in Islam, before deciding on whether or not to accept slaves as "gift"?
Who said, "But in Islam, you can’t take/ abduct/ force regular free folk -outside of war -and bring them into the fold of slavery."? you? a Rabbi? a priest? ChatGPT?
@@al-al5497 that is part of Islamic law and principles. We are commanded to free people and there are stern warnings against enslaving free people outside of necessity in war settings. There are narrations on this which I’d have to find the references to share.
But how do you gift a free person?
A very similar incident like that of the American civil war that can be observed in history happened in Russia just prior to the Communist rise in power is the abolishment of serfdom, which played a major part in the rise of communism but also led the country to a very severe economic catastrophe for all the classes in society including the poor/non clergy sub society because of its cascading effect in the Labour Market. Honestly the Islamic model is not something societies might like but the one they definitely need. It is in perfect harmony with the natural social laws of human interaction.

What I’m about to say might not be favorable or popular or even acceptable. But given that Muslims during the first generation of Islam had access to woman , whether it was through marriage or concubinage is very similar to what young men face today. With the rise in economic costs and cost of living, it’s quite hard for men to be able to live a stress free family life. This is why other forms of social union between men and women are emerging. I truely understand the good intentions behind fundamentalist of Islam, but things are changing rapidly. Ijtihad and qiyas has been considered in order to help others find ways to cohabitation between men and women without breaking the spiritual and physical union. Do I agree with sex outside of marriage ? Depends. Are you as a man able to take full responsibility for your actions towards the other person ? Nobody truely knows except yourself. May all be well and May we all be at least a hair better than we were yesterday.
Additionally, have you been able to address the scrutinizing narrative laid out by some websites that show how Muslims men were barbaric and rapists towards slave woman ?

If you can't bypass reality by putting in an economic system.....why does Allah say give a certain percentage of wages to charity
slavery in the americas was the most horrible human experience of all times.
It was also inspired by the Muslim Arab slave trade. Oddly enough during Muhammad’s time he was born and slavery existed but when this guy decided God spoke to me, the book he produced says Allah institutionalized slavery and that caused the entire Muslim slave trade. So logically speaking the Quran was apart of the. domino effect that lead to the trans Atlantic slave trade

nope. slavery in the middle east was objectively worse. and before that, in rome etc. it was also worse.
@terrence roll lol, don't embarrass yourself.
@@seanou2837 slavery in the Middle East before Muhammad was terrible and it got worse considering the Quran literally institutionalized slavery. The trans Atlantic slave trade happened because of the influence of the Arab muslim slave trade and mind you the Arab muslim slave trade went until the 1960s. Back to Muhammad, So now you had this eternal being (Allah) that ok’d slavery. Sure baby girls weren’t buried alive but Muhammad still followed the slavery rules made prior to his prophethood. Proof being sahih Muslim 1602 were he traded 2 black slaves for 1. Also you can’t deny that or say it’s false, literally it’s Sunna and you’d be denouncing your faith. Muhammad had an old woman and old man as old as 100 years old killed for criticizing him, he raped a 9 year old girl(that’s Sunna btw and Child marriages are still carried out in Muhammad’s name til this day), he took his adopted sons wife and said adoption is forbidden from now on, and so much more.
This was very interesting indeed. Thanks bro.
If you are black person who was traded by arab Muslims as slaves, who Mohammed thought were of less value to Arab slaves, then it’s interesting. As a black man there is no way I can follow Mohammed. Only the ignorant.

asalamualaikum, Thanks for making this video, you make the suggestion that we are not necessarily against the notion of slavery but rather the negative connotations associated with it due to colonial practices and that islam does not associate with that level of harshness. While I agree that in comparison to other societies slavery in the islamic sense is more forgiving, you seldom discuss the harsher realities of what it can actually be. For instance, taking women and children as slaves in a war, merely enslaved for being the wives and daughters of the enemy not necessarily combatants, nurses or assistants would be by todays standards harming an innocent as were the women taken captive of banu mustaliq (yes I know they were freed at the end I'm talking about why they were enslaved in the first place)and banu qurayza . Not only this, they are separated from their loved ones, forced to be with a stranger to them tantamount to a forced marriage and can easily be bought and sold as the master wishes. If you were to say there they were treated well, then fine but it doesn't address the calamity that befalls them I will put some examples in the bottom of the comment. Why is there relative indifference to their suffering from being enslaved in the first place? If you were to say that slavery was for their own good so that they are fed and clothed and looked after, great! except that looking after a person doesn't necessitate them to become your property that can be bought an sold. I don't think its plausible to take refugees, orphans, widows, homeless, and impoverished people as property for that same reason. I commend your efforts to address slavery in the islamic context but some people like me don't feel that you addressed the entirety of the issue here in this video so I hope that you can address these points in another one inshallah.
"I met a woman like a gazelle. She increasingly
looked behind her while crying. I said, “What are you looking for?” She said, “By God, I seek a man who, if he were alive, would surely recover us from you.” I realized that it was the man I had killed and I said, “Surely I killed him. This sword of his hangs by the saddle at its scabbard.” She said, “This, by God, is the scabbard of his sword. So sheath it, if you speak the truth.” I sheathed the sword and it was covered. He said: She cried and became resigned. Ibn Abı¯ Hadrad said: We went to the Prophet with sheep and cattle."

No, I appreciate this discussion, and I think, after reading the Quran, and going through the historical actions of a lot of peoples in Africa can stipulate that not everybody who said they were a follower of Islam actually follow Islam, instead they were using a form of economic practice that demandedslaves, or demanded slaves in one way or the other. And in which case it still generated victims, but these victimizers hid their intentions in Islam, therefore creating is making Islam a handmaiden of oppression.

people can define working for someone as slavery = it's all about people's perception
And they would be wrong, ownership of a person as property is never a good thing. regardless of how nice you treat them.
What did you mean by Islam not allowing “assimilation” of slaves? I always thought this is what Islam used to practice and that this was why the decedents of slaves used to be free men and women after a generation or two.
Deen = reward or punishment, not debt. Debt would be dayn, not deen. (1:02:47)

True real ownership of everything is with Allah (SWT). If Allah (SWT) says something be it having a prisoner of war is permissible then it is permissible.

With all due respect, you should have looked that up instead of reading it wrong. Everyone makes slight mistakes in recitation sometimes, but you really chopped this up.
Can you please do a lecture on international security from an Islamic perspective? Thank you brother.
Worship is slavery? Ay in Islam. In Christianity worship is not slavery but expression of love to adoration of the maker. It’s not forced but done out of appreciation to God’s love.
There is no way that hideous beard style would be condoned by Muhammad (pbuh), there is likely a translation error lost to time about "having a beard and trimming the upper lip".
No body asked to be a slave.

Why does Ali Dawah have a purse?
Qur'an (39:29): Allah sets forth the parable of a slave owned by several quarrelsome masters, and a slave owned by only one master. Are they equal in condition? Praise be to Allah! In fact, most of them do not know.
Even the non-Muslims know this. St. Augustine famously said: A man has as many masters as vices.
freeing a slave a good deed in quran. but in bible ' slaves obey your masters even if they beat you severely ' Jesus confirmed this verse
We can even say that a slave owner in islam has more duties toward his slaves than a CEO in capitalism toward his employes.
oh!, its there (the psychology book)
So buying and selling people today would also still be halal?

25:00 is sameness a synonym for equality. i think equality often means many things at the same time to the liberal mind. the one i think is worth preserving is equality of value. also should there be equality of opportunity??

This's part 2 of 2 (How Islam ended slavery in the world)
3 🔵 Why had no civilization or religion eliminated slavery before Islam?
At the time when the prophet Muhammad ﷺ mission started, the slavery was a very normal and non painful reality, unsurprising, neither was a disgraceful reality, and the slaves masses crowded the Eastern and Western civilizations, no one cared about them and no reformer would think of rescuing them.
Throughout the Christian Roman empire, slaves served in silence, and some of them were served food to the beasts on some occasions, and the Jews - according to the teachings of the Torah - organized the ways of slavery.
As well the Dalit or as known (untouchables) in the Indian continent were and still are considered impure, and their sanctity is unrecognised, [ i.e. A son of a Brahman class woman fell into a well, and one of the untouchables could have saved him if his mother had given her permission, but the mother preferred that her son dies instead of letting him being touched by one of the untouchables!]
The economy of all the civilizations of the world was based on slaves, who did the hard work for the rich and powerful, they somehow formed an integrated fabric, just as the rich need slaves, likewise slaves need rich masters who provide them with work and shelter, or else them and their family will perish.
The Greek philosophy and philosophers didn't save the slaves either, it actually recognizes and encourages slavery in its thinking mind! Neither the religious piety that were embraced by the moncks/priests which darkened the earth did not do justice to them, until the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ spoke for the slaves!
4️⃣ 🔵 Why does Islam allow Muslims to take captives of war? (They were not slaves) And how did it freed them?
▪︎ It was not conceivable that Muslims should not have captives of war, while their muslim women were taken captive and their men and children enslaved.
Likewise, it is a means of protection for Muslims and a deterrent to their enemies by not attacking them, so that they do not become captives and their women become maids.
▪︎ Islam gave captives of war rights equal to the free ones, so the prisoner has the right to food, drink, clothing and protection for him and his family, exactly like of the family of the man of the house, right to good treatment, as well as he has the right to complain in court if he suffers from any injustice.
These rights are a great mercy for the captives of war, instead of facing a consequence of being thrown in dark prisons, or leaving them unprotected after losing battles, and to avoid their danger to the Muslims in future.
The main goal of captives living in Muslim homes is to hear the word of God (The Hoy Qur’an), and often are liberated after they embrace Islam.
◾And Finally, Islam forbade slavery for inability to pay debts, as was customary in pre-Islamic civilizations:
The Romans, and before them the Hebrews, sentenced the perpetrators of some crimes to slavery, and one of these crimes among the Romans was being unable to pay the debt. Islam rejected this view decisively, rather the insolvent will get a free help from the Zakat money. (Free state grants)
🔸️Allah said: {If it is difficult for someone to repay a debt, postpone it until a time of ease. And if you waive it as an act of charity, it will be better for you, if only you knew.(280)} (Al-Baqarah)
@birdeater768no he’s not you slanderous troll.
"How Islam ended slavery in the world"
Do you mean in theory or in practice? Because slavery did not end with the advent of Islam. If anything, it increased dramatically. It was only when the same colonial powers that themselves benefitted greatly from slavery, whatever form, suddenly changed their minds about it and began emancipatory and other legal steps to stop the practice entirely. There is, as far as I can find and I did not hear Hijab mention it, no emancipatory movement in the muslim world. Neither from a practical standpoint nor a legal (shariah being changed for instance to forbid slavery). Certainly nothing that pre-dates the same movements in "the West" in from the 1800s and onwards.
@@seletarroots3258 Kindly read part 1 of my short presentation in comment section, and then read part 2 to understand the facts, how Islam eradicated slavery in the world.
Salam, Pease
@@facts.explained.
I have read through it but again, as with your part 2 and the comment I provided to it I have not seen any basis for what you claim which is that Islam eradicated slavery. If you look at the post I provided as a comment to Mr Hijabs video you will see that arguing that the sources of Islam contain emancipatory messages and anti-Slavery themes is not sufficient to show anything really. I mean Jesus never taught war, slavery, holy war or colonialism and conquering of other lands. Yet Christians have figured prominently in all of that. But if you bring it up they will say exactly that "Well look yeah ok but Jesus never told us to do so! So Christianity is spotless!". Same with communists. They will decry every single state that espoused being a communist state and say that none of them were. Communism is a utopia, a perfect place where no injustice exists and everybody is equal. And so they discount all the states, be it Soviet Union or Cuba or North Korea, on exactly that basis. Communism teaches good things, just things. See here! With quotes and everything. And yet in implementation, it looks completely different.
It´s the same structure. In your case your claim is 1400 years of almost continuous slavery that only stops because western colonial powers militarily and otherwise intervene, after themselves happily partaking of horrific slavery practices and economic benefits therefrom by the way, is no match for your quotes from Quran and Hadith. Instead of taking a step back and asking yourself: if you figured this out today, 2023-01-19 wherever you are, how come over a 1000 years of Islamic scholarship missed this whole thing and instead happily helped and participated and encouraged slavery? Slavery grew significantly after Islams introduction, not diminish. Certainly no emancipation or emancipatory and shariah transformative movement existed prior to the emancipation movement begun in the west in the 1800s.
Humility is necessary and self-criticism and introspection. Not apologetics and deflection and wishful thinking.

I think you living in denial my friend, the Old testament is literally full of bloodshed, as well as the new testament is a bad teacher when it comes to violence, while you sleep walking living in denial.
I can swear you've read none of presentation (2 parts) with references and ultimate proof, and reference them.
Once again read it and comment, don't asct as low standard person with due respect.
Brother Muhammed Hijab didn't necessarily covered everything, neither he intended to explain it in easy terns, however my presentation is meant exactly that in a short way possible.
Salam, peace
If slaves are only thru war basc prisoners of war or prisoners of war to be sold. What about maria qibtiyya tho?
She was already a slave, she was not made a slave by Muslims.
She was a slave gifted to the Prophet (peace be upon him) she wasn't made into a slave by the Muslims
ASA Brothers. It’s amazing to me that this Brother looks like my cousin but speaks about “Black” people as if he’s something else? Yes, you are Egyptian not of West African heritage or African-American, etc etc but we are the same people my Brother. The world of white supremacy would lynch us on the same tree.
freedom through submission = being a slave of Allah
No need to switch camera and show other brother's imo
Galatians 3:28-29 says that:
There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise
Mohammed Hijab lies when he says there is no passage in the Bible that says we are all equal.
Without lies Islam can’t stand or survive.
