The video begins at 29:20
+Bayyinah Institute Salam brothers/sisters, I have a recommendation, could you change the title because it's not a title that people would be able to easily know would have these points you mentioned, you know what I mean?
Please can you remove the first 30 mins and also divide the lectures into parts ( like you did for Surah Yaseen Tafseer ), which will be convenient to download and listen, for me and many others in future Insha Allah.
+MuslimTheology Oh, absolutely. Change the title. I know what you mean. We don't want curious non-Muslims stumbling across an apologetic for the enslavement of non-Muslims. They might take it personally.
+The smrat eh? I couldn't imagine how difficult it is for you, because I've never heard of it.
+Samantha Derrick It has been answered in Sheikh's speech. Please have the patience to go through the entire video before copy pasting the same question again and again.
Amazing! I am speechless, it resolved so much things in my head, thank you for everyone putting their efforts in it!
Can I just say that Omar Suleiman is such a hardworking and amazing person! He speaks in such a good flow, starting from the background and talking about stuff globally and is so good at explaining things MaShaAllah! May Allah bless him.
You have clarified Slavery in a way I have never heard before.
Jazak Allah Khair
May Allah bless you
You never heard it before because he just made it up.
@@GravityXheavy just shut up plz you need help
@@1moneyking You are the one trying to make a African slave merchant part of being the perfect example of a human being. it is you that needs help.
@@GravityXheavy he gave clear evidences bro
Does truth hurt you guys
Why can't you accept the truth
This was amazing مشالله thank you so much. I will have to watch again and take notes إنشاالله
+Jamal Smith-Graham What do you think of the Arab save trade?
+Eternal Apostate Just because someone has "Arab" before their name, it does not make them angel. If they did wrong, they will have their share of punishment for sure.
What do you think of the White American slave trade?
Arab Muslims justified slavery based on their Hold book the Quran stop this nonsense.
+Eternal Apostate: In other words "Jamal, please say the Arabs were just as bad, if not worse than Europeans because it'll make me feel better about the atrocities of European slavery"
I pray to Allah to bless and keep the Umma of the Prophet (PBUH) on the straight path.
This is so important for all Muslims to know about because there is so much misinformation out there.
@Kattar Bhartiya oo man , I understand your feeling !!😢
May Allah gave u guidance
@Kattar Bhartiya lol nice joke .... It's become fashion to pretend they know quran after watching 2 min islamphobic video ....
And yaa god is only one not 300 million ! And god is not human ....
@Kattar Bhartiya go and ready story of prophet abraham and ishmaeel ,
Everything is creation of creator ...

So glad it was uploaded here. 2:00 on a Sunday morning was impossible for me here in London. Amazing Lecture.
It is worth pointing out that you do not find any text in the Qur’aan or Sunnah which enjoins taking others as slaves, whereas there are dozens of texts in the Qur’aan and the ahaadeeth of the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) which call for manumitting slaves and freeing them.
There were many sources of slaves at the time of the advent of Islam, whereas the means of manumitting them were virtually nil. Islam changed the way in which slavery was dealt with; it created many new ways of liberating slaves, blocked many ways of enslaving people, and established guidelines which blocked these means.
What about Bukhari?
I saw Abu Sa`id and asked him about coitus interruptus. Abu Sa`id said, "We went with Allah's Apostle, in the Ghazwa of Bani Al-Mustaliq and we captured some of the 'Arabs as captives, and the long separation from our wives was pressing us hard and we wanted to practice coitus interruptus. We asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (whether it was permissible). He said, "It is better for you not to do so. No soul, (that which Allah has) destined to exist, up to the Day of Resurrection, but will definitely come, into existence."
Sahih al-Bukhari 2542:49:26

Amazing lecture, amazing stories and this is why Islam is the easiest to apply to govern the affairs of the Dunya, because it's about being real.
How can it be about being real when you have to lie about it and can't take it literally?
@@GravityXheavy tell us one lie
This has been such a enlightment! I was very confused about this subject and you have made it clear. Thank you so much. By the way you have such a great nour on your face tabarakellah.
This cleared up so much Alhamdulillah...a big Thank You to sheikh and everyone involved in making this lecture available .. it was amazing. May Allah allow us to apply the knowledge we gain to our lives wisely, to ultimately earn His(SWT) pleasure ameen

Thank you sh. Omar for this amazing lecture, you have answered all of my troubling questions I was askimg myself, jazak Allah kheer
Mohammed was a African slave merchant. Everything Mohammed did was perfect and unchangeable to Muslims. It's not what he says it's what Mohammed said. So you should still be a Christian if you want to have salvation.
Wonderful discussion....highly scholastic. Thanks brother Omar Suleiman for this important enlightenment . May Allah SWT bless him to the highest Jannah.
thank you for putting this together... its something we should all have knowledge about.
Mohammed was a African slave merchant right up until his death. Islam only freed slaves in a very small region called fantasy land.
@@GravityXheavy stop lying and trolling. have a life....by this time of the pandemic, you should ponder even deeper of how evil and arrogant you are speaking.
@@MSA_madi Mohammed's bigotry is unchanging and the 27 million slaves held by Islam today don't agree with you.
@@MSA_madi How arrogant I sound. You want to call a killer of Christians, Jews, Buddhists, every belief and religion is the perfect example of a human being and if we don't all don't go along with it we are arrogant. Get out of the free world.
@@GravityXheavy you hadn't give me 1 logical reason and just claiming things, I can already say you just hate Islam. give me 1 good thing you know about Islam or Muhammad and why billion of people follow Islam?
Awesome!! Barak Allah feekum!!
Thank You for Sharing Your knowledge with us. I enjoy the Lecture
Very informative discussion. Thank you for the this.
I learned so much alhamdulillah. May Allah bless all on Bayyinah team and those who watched this with beneficial knowledge. amin.
+Wan Noor Faradalila Wan Jamaluddin Ameen.
Thank you for this lecture! it was very interesting and educating!!
+Ibrahim Elbarbary (Burberry) is it Burberry or Elbarbary. Cuz in arabic Elbarbary means barbaric... I'm only joking with you bro. Cool name though. Burberry is soft so stick with your original last name Elbarbary.
@David Hutchins no one denying anything. But when u talk about slaves in Islam u don't mention mamlukh/slave dinesty of Islam.Its important to mention Human rightss towards salves. These r important topics. abolishing Slavery is not a simple thing. USA's istitutionalize Racism is a good example. Treatment of slaves is vastly different frm North America, Europe and middle east. Muslims clearly know cases done by some corrupted Sultans. He is not romanticising anything. He is talking about hole case of Slavery,where ur more into blame game.
Alhamdulillah, thanks for the upload. I was upset, I got the time for the west coast wrong and consequently missed the entire lectures.
@30 lecture starts. Preacher Man..long lecture... fascinating, informative. You grappled "sticky" issues, and laid demons to rest. You are a star.
This deserves to be documented! In the form of handouts or a book. I would ask my brothers and sisters to do this effort please and spread it InshaAllah.
I would really like to do that
May ALLAH (S.W.T) be pleased with Sheikh Omar Suleiman for this wonderful lecture. What I learn from this lecture, is that Islam teaches you to be confident and stand still for your right even if it is in as hard time as one being slave still fight for your right never subjugate to other human being.
who is allah god??? can a god do anything>???
That is very clear shaikh omar.
jezakelah
we expect a lot from you.
in sha Allah
Jazak allahkhair..... May Allah have mercy on you for speaking truth in these times of fitna....
Mohammed was a African slave merchant. This talk doesn't make the 27 million slaves being held by Islam today because it a complete fraud. Stop trying to practice a belief you can't take literally.
One of the most nice topic that most schlors dnt talk about.
JAZAKHALLA khair
may allah reward you for that clarification sheikh omar suleiman
Amazing and informative lecture. May Allah reward you ya Sheikh
Subhan Allah. This is a very very informative and thorough video on the topic. I thank Allah, Sheikh Omar Suleiman and everyone involved in making of this video. I was not able to justify when my friend asked me about the justification of slavery and sex with mulkimeen. But this video gives a very nice and clear idea and lays down the answer for many questions which can be answered in a justified way. May Allah guide us and keep us on the right path.
Amazing. Mashallah. Cleared up some doubts.
JazakAllahu Khairan.
MashaaAllaah!
Allaah bless you Shaykh; very informative and objective. Is the supporting material available?
Masha Allah what a great lecture. thank u so mch Sheikh Omar.
Best topic ever another person to explain it in great details in the most realistic details that you can’t I can’t explain
Masha Allah, thanks to bayyinah TV
Never have i heard a lecture which is so uplifting! From slavery to king...amazing
Mohammed was a African slave merchant if you ever want to take your religion literally.
Assalamu Alaikm Wa rahmatullah.
is it possible to publish this lecture in written form with all the sources of evidences? so that it becomes available on search string?
Wow this Really Opens our Eyes Thanks brother ❤️
It's a subject that used to confuse me so much. I'm really thankful for this video and this lecture.

Alhumdulillah thankyou soo much i spent all day. I would request eveyeone to share this video and let people know.
I would like to request that a specific lecture/ essay be formulated focusing on isis and their use of slaves. You have touched on it but i wish to ask you to expand on it.

Thank you so much for clearing my doubts about Islam and concubine. It's undoubtedly a must heared discussion for Muslims. May Allah bless you and guide me towards truth. ❤️
May Allah reward you, enlightening lecture Subhanallah
Alhamdullah
To grant me such a good teacher.
Now I know.
And grateful for Islam.
Jazakallah sheikh. Much needed lecture
amazing how Islam sought to end slavery in a peaceful manner, expressing implicitly and explicitly against slavery which was the status quo at the time Islam began. Allah always sent His message through many prophets to humanity at various times in accordance to the capacity of the people of the time to understand and grasp. A wonderful lecture. May Allah Bless all His Prophets, and Omar Suleiman for a wonderful lecture
it's british and french who end muslim slavery in the muslim world, not islam. this debate is full of confortable lies.
What a wonderful lecture!
excellent information.
Informative lecture. Shukran
Jazakallahu khairan may Allah enlighten ignorant masses of this world of pretty beautiful of his worship and his prefect religion
Mashallah that was a very informative video !!
Salam Aleikum, this is an amazing lecture. Great topic choice. I liked how you cleared up misconceptions of Islamophobes. Perhaps you could start a series clearing up misconceptions . JazakhAllah khair. May Allah reward you all for this production. Ameen.

Abolishing slavery is one thing , but abolishing the racist attitudes within slavery is another. For example; in America slavery was abolished but there are still racism which originates from slavery still thrives (kkk, police brutality). Slavery was a common practice before Islam and prophet Muhammad (saw) preached against the unjust treatment of slaves, as brother Omar explained in depth in the video.
JazakAllah! Amazingly informative.
Can you add a english subtitle? I don't understand :(
50:55 can some please tell me what the word means "cokabites " Mr sulieman mentioned this word more than once during the lecture and I did Google it but I can't really find what it really means??
It is concubines*. Google it now
@@shehindileep6655 thank you .... I appreciate it.
Please provide me the pdf of this lecture.
I didn't get the person's name at 1:59:30. Is it Aliviris Scholosticas? I googled this, but couldn't find anything...
+aew b His name is Magister Oliverius Scholasticus, a crusader who said that profound quote praising our community in the culture of generosity even with prisoners of war. (mentioning that because some people will wonder what the context was when reading contents)
Jzk for a fascinating lecture.

May Allah shower you with his blessings brother Omar, for you have cleared up one of the biggest lies concocted by the ignorant
Alhumdulillah for such amazing scholars
Most excellent! MashaALLAH!
This is a historic lecture.
This is an interesting discussion. I wonder if Sheikh Suleiman has written about this topic, because I am interested in checking his references.
Thank You!
Is there some sort of handout to go along with the class? Jazakallahkhair.
I was thinking the same. I would encourage you to make an effort brother. This topic needs to be documented!!
Can someone tell me what he said in the video?
Jazakallah khair
thanks
May Allah bless sheikh Omar Suleiman
I am unable to get what he is getting onto regarding Deuteronomy
I love how haters refuse to think about the topic n just make sound bit remarks down here.
Really amazing lecture it really changed my perception of slavery and I learned a lot hamdoulilah for Islam. The shariah is such a perfect system when you look at their laws for slaves, imagine theirlawsfor society in general so perfectly established!
your video is good.
mashallah thank you
2) The prophet abolished all types of slavery that would cause more harm than benefit to society. (Prisoners of war was not abolished).
3) slavery is a symptom of greater problems in society. Such as racism etc. the goal of the prophet peace be upon him was to reintegrate slaves into their society.
4) The prophet said he who
Slaps a slave the only way to expiate for that is to free him. You are not allowed to call them names they do not like or refer to them as slaves. The prophet then said all of you are slaves to Allah and he is the only master. Slaves have to be given the same clothes, same food. The prophet said they are nothing but your brothers whom Allah has placed under your care. Slaves were actually considered to be part of the family.
5) people born as slaves were able to assume positions of scholarship and leadership.
6) people would more easily submit in battle because of the Islamic rules surrounding the treatment of prisoners of war. Reforms made by the prophet peace be upon him: - the only time the prophet would take prisoners of war was if the opposing army would take prisoners of war as well. For example banu mutsaliq would take captives but qurash wouldn’t do that which is why the prophet wouldn’t leave the quraish captives in captivity. He would wither free them ( with or without ransom) or kill them. Banu mustaliq planned to attack the prophet first so he surprised attacked him. The muslims wanted to enslave them because they would enslave the muslims. When the prophet married jowerya the muslims decided to free the captives of banu mustaliq. The prophet was no captive hungry. Banu qurayzah committed treason ( they tried to attack the woman and children) and the prophet laid siege to them after that. For twenty five days banu qurayzh was under siege. The prophet allows them to chose their own arbitrator to judge by their own law. That arbitrator judged them by the law of their own text. - Allah says after the battle is over either you show generosity or you ransom them. That ransom can not be unfair. Prisoners and slaves had access to the judges if the ransom was to high.
7) Allah encourages muslims to free and marry off slaves. This is reintegration to an extreme. Even as captives they had full consent on how to marry.
Could you give the references of the Researches you just quoted. From where you got that Christianity assumed the state rules of Constantinople.. and likewise.
If You or someone could give the references..
It be kinda hard bro we three years late on this lecture
Mashaallah!
I really want to see a video about Karbala by Omar suleiman or Nouman Ali Khan
SHAYKH yASIR QADHI did a lecture on it. it was good.
May Allah bless you sir 💕
why there is music in the beginning? I have heard from nouman ali khan and many other scholars that music is haram even if its used for the good.
+Akbar Ali You did not mention picture. There are hadith about pictures as well. YOu see the objection is subjective to anything objectionable content in music or picture. Mainly shirk and obscenity
Zafar Iqbal but I have heard nouman ali khan and many other great scholars saying that u cannot use at all. Its true that at at the end of times people will leave in a lot of confusion. lots of opinions and all of them looks correct.
+Akbar Ali Brother Nouman is not a scholar aki, but make sure you ask scolar
+MuslimTheology he does tafsir but didn't study to be an alim
Akbar Ali can you share the link where noman ali khan says it's haram. Iam interested to see his arguments
zikr in salah is an active way to end slavery and not courtrooms... its when Allah's words got leashed open for all...
it says it begins in 5 mins
Ok whats up with the creepy background music?
So many of us are slaves and we don't even know it...debt slaves. May Allah save us from such an evil slavehood.
Please put on Caption
Masha'Allah our prophet (peace be upon him ) has ever being generous to mankind, he did only good and spread sympathy , love and peace throughout his life even b4 he became a Message of Allah SWT. Wallahi Islam signifies nothing but peace , love and tranquility Alhamdullilah ✌️
And big thanks Imam Omar may Allah SWT continue to shower His Rahma on you and your family and the rest of the Ummah. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Alhumdulillah Islam is the religion of peace if you come with a clean heart you understand that!
You have to keep in mind, battle of Hunayn was a hard fought battle too.
Subhanallah.
How did islam deal with religion AND human rights good question
Assalamualaikum, I had a question for Bayyinah or anyone who can answer it, I understand the only source of slavery allowed was POW so was it allowed for a Muslim to buy a slave from the slave market in order to keep that person as a slave?
Jazakallahukhairan

Thank you for your email. Our instructors are unable to answer individually to personal or Fiqh related questions. Our advice in this situation is to refer to a local trusted authority (Imam or scholar) or Masjid.

@@bayyinah yes it is permissible to buy a slave from a market, provided that the slaves were captured in a Halal manner.
Prophet Mohammed, himself was the largest human trafficker of his era/area. For he received 20% of all war booty. To this day there are Muslims who give 20% of their income to those who are relatives of Prophet Mohammed.
So 1 in 5 slaves belonged to Mohammed and he bought, sold and traded those slaves as well as had sex with them.
I am sure my comment will be deleted because that is what is expected of people who are dishonest.
The reality is that this man is a fraud. I assure you that if it was said about Muslims what Islam says about others, he would be protesting in the streets, as he often does. :)
Islam haters don't even listen . they just love trolling why don't you watch the video propaly
because it is taqiyya
Taqiyya is only allowed to use when your life is in dangerous
@@dalmar5567 | What Is Taqiya?
Asad Jarwar @ Taqiyya is that you Can lie if your life is in dangerous. If there is a war and some enemies soldiers (who wants to kill some Muslims) came to your house. And they said to you guys, are you Muslims. Then your family can say we aren’t Muslims, to save there lives.
@@fredjones4820 then proof it...
✌💯
The primary distinction between a free person and a slave is the ability to freely LEAVE (whoever you work for). A slave simply can't leave, they can't go "home". So while treatment was better and more progressive, they were still not free to leave. So how do we say they were not slaves? By the way, this is a legitimate question. I loved this lecture and thought it was thought provoking and I learned a lot from it !
He told in his lecture slaves were able to buy their freedom. If she didn't want to be under someone she could just buy her own freedom. Not all women were concubines. You need their consent to make them your concubine. Suppose a woman hated being someone's concubine. If her master asked her to become his concubine she could refuse and serve as a normal servant. She could also form a contract to buy her own freedom. Her freedom price wouldn't be too much for her. After she brought her freedom, her master was encouraged to give her money so that she could do something. Most of the woman choose to be concubines because of the same treatment of a wife. it's not 21st century. In a desert without a family and clan you is survived chances are 0.

(as the title card suggest)
About what you talked about capital punishment. You said it takes the law out of the state and puts it in the hands of the family of the victim.
And what about Zina in marriage ? Does it also put the punishment upon the will of the wronged spouse? Or does the land has the right to punish the culprit?
