I think he is right but Dr Thomas Cleary’s lecture on “slavery in Islam”. Dr Cleary makes a distinction between cattle slavery (as practiced in the west) and Domestic slavery (as was practiced by Islam) and he is right that domestic slavery was a way to reintegrate victims of war into society. However what Imam Tom doesn’t mention is that the Quran and the Hadith make it crystal clear that one of the best ways to get close to Allah, is to free slaves. And The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah says, 'I will be against three persons on the Day of Resurrection: -1. One who makes a covenant in My Name, but he proves treacherous. -2. One who sells a free person (as a slave) and eats the price, -3. And one who employs a laborer and gets the full work done by him but does not pay him his wages.' " And don’t think slavery is abolished now… now there’s economic slavery. Millions of undeveloped countries work like slaves to sustain the economies of the developed nations. It’s slavery in disguise.

@@bauan98 yes Kafala is basically slavery. You have no way to escape suffering or leave the country when your employer controls your visa. Literally everyone but places like UAE consider it akin to slavery.

@@nothingnobody9946 It is a result of foreign ideology from primarily the West. The teachings of Islam would solve all of these issues, only if the Muslims unite under Tawheed and put aside any Bid’aah and return to the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ.

Agreed. This should be widely spread.

Slavery still exists... When someone works for the world's richest man (Bezos) at minimum wage which allows him to barely house and feed himself, how is that any different the Pharaoh's enslavement? They fed and clothed their slaves too...

This could also be utilized to fight against the prevalent international human trafficking that operates outside the law which exploited a lot of disadvantaged people

In the modern world where manual labor is becoming less important, I don't think this system works anymore. It was suitable for the most part of history in which working hard in the farm lands and doing manual labor was the only life line.

​​​@@BinuJasimmanual labor will always be important, even within Europe there is demand for manual labor. Also they aren't meant to undergo tedious tasks that's not the purpose of the system, the system was designed as a way to bring these people under the same roof as Muslims to see the benefit of Islam. Sure they would work in those days, but just the same amount as the one who maintains them. If let's say the ummah eventually unites, and definitely there would be wars against non Muslims because a united Muslim ummah is their worst nightmare, these refugees would be taken into homes, they would assist in home chores, or day to day businesses of their maintainers, the fact that there's less work doesn't mean the system becomes extinct.

Jonathon AC Brown's book Slavery and Islam -Imam Tom

you must change your condition then Allah helps you

This is the most sickening, disgusting comment I have ever read on KZfaq. Slavery is a CRIME against humanity itself. Have you ever read about how moslems moslems enslaved millions of black Africans - much more than the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade? The moslem slave trade lasted over 1,500 years in which estimates state almost 100 MILLION lives were destroyed. Have you read about how moselsm would capture innocent, free people in central Africa, march them chained up to the east African coast, then CASTRATE the males before loading them on to sinking dhow ships to be sold off in the Gulf and wider Indian Ocean in their millions? Now, if your Prophet explicitly states slavery should not be banned- then your prophet is NO GOOD and is also a criminal like the moslem slave traders.

Yes it can... ribaa can be prohibited straightforward.... Slavery can also prohibited if there is verse about it for example slavery is a big sin and all humankind shoud be free Why need thousand years to wait for europe kafeer who PROHIBIT SLAVERY first and the fact that Saudi and Yemen became THE LAST country who prohibit slavery in 1960s after international.pressure?

@@user-vz3pd3nh4t slavery still exists. and will always exist

1. A bullshit explanation of islamic riq If they are owned like a property, then why they are having same food and clothes If they are property, then why they are not mistreated or overworked, but should be treated well If they are owned like property, then why they can take legal action for a breach of their rights, and may be freed as a result If they were property, then why they can get married if their owner consents If they were property, then why there guilty of crimes can only be given half the punishment that would be given to a non-slave If they are owned, then why female slave cannot be separated from her child while it is under 7 years old If they are property, then why Islamic law allows slaves to get their freedom under certain circumstances Our prophet Muhammad said [He will not enter Paradise who behaveth ill to his slaves. The Companions said, 'O Apostle of God! have you not told us, that there will be a great many slaves and orphans amongst your disciples?' He said, 'Yes; then be kind to them as to your own children, and give them to eat what you eat yourselves. The slaves that say their prayers are your brothers. Be kind to slaves as to your own children...and those that say their prayers are your brethren. They (slaves or servants) are your brothers, and Allah has put them under your command. So the one under whose hand Allah has put his brother, should feed him of what he eats, and give him dresses of what he wears, and should not ask him to do a thing beyond his capacity. And if at all he asks him to do a hard task, he should help him therein.' 'There are three categories of people against whom I shall myself be a plaintiff on the Day of Judgement. Of these three, one is he who enslaves a free man, then sells him and eats this money'. al-Bukhari]

2. Another ignorance you showed Sex with female slave is prohibited, only with Christian and Jews are allowed Now tell me, if sex was the motivation behind the islamic riqq, then why sex is not allowed with every female slave? This is clear indication that in islam riqq is not for sex but for something else

3. This is hilarious 😂😂😂😂 A free woman has three types of clothing obligation (how much she has to wear الستر) A satr in front of non mahram A satr in front of mahram A satr for praying The Satr of female slave is same of how much a free woman have to wear in front of Mahram I hope you will never talk about big issues without sufficient knowledge 😊

​​@@muslimuddin3656you seems have zero knowledge in islam... All ulema agreed that SEXUALLY PENETRATED your slaves is HALAAL... it is ijmaa... you can read all tafseer and hadith If you prohibit something that Allah allowed it means you are DISBELIEVER or KAFEER

​@@muslimuddin3656you must read asbabun nuzool of hijab... Slave girl awrah is form navel to knee... it is in fiqh..to differentiate slave and free woman

Imam Tom actually did 4 back to back khutbas on this topic called Lessons From The Black Companions, you can find it in the Khutbah Playlist kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gr-mqpR8sdeuoJ8.html

yeah but if war happen so we should prison them or what

VERY GOOD QUESTION MY FRIEND

And imam Tom has reduced the whole topic into "settlement" program. The way slave women are treated in terms of Satr is quite problematic and many other things. I don't see this as any solid explanation.

No, slavery is never appropriate as a punishment for crime.

So in short, you didn’t watch the video.

@@UTICAMASJID nope I watched the video , he was talking out of his ass , the type of slavery as you know that existed in the Muslim world was not thd type he has described and was not abolished by Muslims, Americans had to form Muslims to stop it . I'm sorry you do not like reality

@@daviddoran2116 And what type of slavery existed in the Muslim world exactly? Because we all know the type that existed in the US

@@UTICAMASJID a combination of chattel [practiced in the us ] slavery and bonded slavey , depending on the country some slaves had far more rights than others. The issue is there is no defensible slavery , fortunately the Americans got rid of most slavery

​@@daviddoran2116 Hypothetically, let's say that is true, what does Islam say about the treatment of slaves, can they just be used and abused as they were in the US?

@@Elite_Elif yes that was wrong, Arabs selling black slaves to white Christians, you know those slaves were MUSLIMS...what is this nonsence...what bad Muslims...

No explanation needed. the messenger of GOD Mohammad openly bought and sold slaves

I guess you weren't listening with understanding… He just explained that it's not owning. It's a way to provide displaced people with the necessities of life while avoiding the resentment of the people providing it through their taxes.

@@sph1226You didn’t say it wasn’t owning. You simply tried to justify owning another human. Slavery is evil no matter which way you try to spin it. There is no scenario in which forcing another person to work for you is justified

Is Islamic slavery beautiful and perfect?

To determine the correct way Islam is practiced, you refer to the example & practices of the Prophet (pbuh) and the rightly guided Caliphs (the first 4 caliphs of Islam)...anyone else after them could be "practicing" Islam incorrectly. Islam is perfect, but Muslims are not...

Proof? Cite your sources from the Quran

It happened it, but they abuse the concept But they are some who did it just like mamluk and davshira in Ottoman
