Ramadan. What Is The Halal Method To Obtaining A Slave?

Ramadan : What Is The Halal Method To Obtaining A Slave

Slavery is now outlawed, but suppose it was to be re-introduced. How would it be determined who will become a slave and who will become a slavemaster, and what is the halal method of acquiring a slave? Is there something in the quran which says slavery cant be re-introduced in this type of age? Dawn- slavery existed a few decades ago in Saudi Arabia. How does the abrogation work? Vegeta- Yes the Islamic view of slavery is similar to the Jewish view of it, where the slaves are happy and have many rights. But my question is how could I hypothetically obtain one by halal means. ~~~ Sisyphus ~~~

Answer 3

slavery has been abrogated, sorry your question isnt valid,, Edit your probably talking about menservants, they still exist and get paid, i see no problem in it To cool for Islam what do you think of a Hadeeth, does it work out? still provided nothing to make you judge i chose and pick, and what does hijab have to do with abrogation? Hadeeth came to explain what was unclear to be understood, not to twist the Quran

Answer 4

Answer 5

your view of Slavery is Different then the Islamic View of Slaves.

Answer 6

No, Islam in no way prohibits slavery. Thats just a fact that all Muslims should acknowledge. But it does encourage granting slaves freedom. Encourage, not obligate. Then it also sets ways to obtain new slaves. Through wars. Prisoners of wars can be enslaved. Female prisoners of war can be slept with without their consent according to the Quran and hadiths. But in practice not all Muslims agree with that. If Allah was really against slavery, he would have said it clearly in the Quran.

Answer 7

Dawn- What verse exactly abrogates the keeping of slave? Since your just picking and choosing, I guess women who argue the Hijab is not required according to the Quran are also in their rights to say the verse about the requirement of Hijab has been "abrogated"? Dawn- If it is authentic then I will believe it but then it will make feel as though Muhammad is superior to Allah because his Hadiths decided how to "twist" the Quran.

Answer 8

Be a Wahhabi Wahhabis can help you. Wahhabis are followers of Iblees (Lucifer)

Answer 9

Almighty God has abolished slavery in the Quran by methods such as freeing a slave whenever someone sinned or didnt carry out Hajj rites correctly, etc.

Answer 10

slavery is forbidden

Answer 11

How to get a halal slave? Well, back when people "got" slaves, it was either through purchase or conquest. I think most would agree that conquest is not the most "halal" way to obtain a slave. And, of course, how to purchase if the person was not already a slave? People who were destitute would often sell themselves into slavery, rather than submit to being penniless and without homes. At some point, the option of buying your way out of slavery was introduced. I believe, but am not completely certain, that your "master" would be responsible for paying off your debtors. There is a Jewish story about Abraham taking a slave into his household who became very important to him...the name eludes me right now. I would say thats probably the most "halal" way of obtaining a slave, were one to re-introduce slavery (God forbid)

Answer 12

Islam says you are not allowed to have a slave

Answer 13

Hi Friend, Islam DOES not believe in slavery. It came to abolish slavery of all kinds. We Americans and much of the world are so happy and thrilled to see an African-American become President of the . 1450 years ago, Hazrat Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) was given the honor of calling the first a€œAzaana€� or call to prayer a€“ a very prestigious honor. This was at time when African or African decent people like Bilal were treated worse than animals by the godless pagan Arabs, until the arrival of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and his perfect practice of Islam (which, unfortunately, much of which is toitally forgotton or thrown away by the "Muslims" of today...). I have time restraints, sometimes just visiting Ramadan for a few minutes to see anything interesting. So I will have to make this brief. A a€œslavea€� has different meanings and implications today than that of yore, but the root is still the same. Today, a€œslavesa€� could apply to people who have very little control over their lives, and victims of circumstance. The beauty of the Koran is that it has layers of wisdom and guidance for all times. For example, an illegal alien from Mexico working for a small mom and pop taco joint in the middle of the Texas desert (with the owners knowing that she isna€™t allowed to legally and taking advantage of that by giving her a pittance for a wagea€¦) is a slave to wanting and sacrificing for a better life. A prostitute and on heroin is a slave to her pimp and godless men who think of such woman as a toy. A poor man living on the streets having maybe a glint of talent in something but not knowing where to go, can be described a slave of neglect. These are the slaves today and they need our love and help to find freedom and a happy life just the same of the slaves of yesteryear. We can try to get that illegal alien legal status if she qualifies and guide her in joining mainstream society, we can try to coax that homeless man into a training center or guild were he can plan his future in a better way. We can try to get the keeper of that prostitute into jail, and get her into rehab where she can have a chance at a new life. These are all examples of freeing a slave. At the same time, traditional slavery is still around today in any place. When Nike was criticized for paying poor Indonesians $2-$3 a day to make shoes selling for over $150, many people were outraged and even boycotted Nike shoes until the company changed its pay style. What Nike did was nothing short of slavery, and it took the compassion of fellow beings to help those poor workers. Now Nike employees are among the best paid and happy workers in Indonesia. This is the meaning of a€œslaverya€� and "freeing a slave" both in past and present tense, and we must do everything in our power to abolish it in every form.

Again you see the filth that gathers and its us that will clean it up again.. Oh no dont do anything about it just sit there and make your assess flat again.

Answer 15

There is no halal method to obtain slaves. Simple. Because there is no slavery in Islam. Islam was the first religion to abort slavery and has never been confused about it. The message was simple free all the slaves. Got that.

Answer 16

Slavery was practised all over the world when Islam came. In fact, it was an economic and social system among all the countries and the people. So, Islam proceeded from the very beginning to remove the origins of slavery and to limit its sources. Islam left only one source for slavery that is enslavement in war and only legal war (. against the non-Muslims). Indeed, the enslavement of prisoners of war was a part of warfare. So, Islam did not free the slaves of its enemies while its own followers are enslaved by those enemies and given the worst possible treatment. It is known that to deal with someone in the manner in which he deals with you is fair to stop his aggression on you. to say that Islam practiced slavery would be to totally misunderstand (or misrepresent) the dynamics of history and the nature and record of Islam. Some people conveniently forget that there is a profound difference between the a€˜slaverya€™ that existed in the Islamic societies and the picture of slavery that is handed down to us from the Imperial colonies. The Noble Quran commands (what means) : "Marry those among you who are single or the virtuous ones among your slaves, male or female. If they are in poverty, Allaah will give them means out of His grace: for Allaah encompasses all and He knows all things a€¦ And if any of your slaves ask for a deed in writing (to enable them to earn their freedom for a certain sum) give them such a deed if you know any good in them. Yea give them something yourselves out of the means which Allaah has given to you. But force not your maids into prostitution when they desire chastity in order that you may make a gain in the goods of this life. But if anyone compels them yet after such compulsion is Allaah Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (to them)." [Quran 24:32-33] In the legal sense of the word, the law of slavery is now obsolete. During the time it carried meaning, Islam made the slaves lot as easy as possible. Abdullah Yousuf Alis commentary on the following verses runs as follows: a€œA slave, male or female could ask for conditional freedom by a written deed fixing the amount required for emancipation, and allowing the slave meanwhile to earn money by lawful means and perhaps marry and bring up a family. Such a deed was not to be refused if the request was genuine and the slave had character. Not only that, but the master is directed to help with money out of his own resources in order to enable the slave to earn his or her own liberty. "Under the unique program of assimilation, slaves in the Islamic era were able to acquire all the rights of free citizens, and attained the highest levels of social, political and economic achievement. The Prophet Muhammad , actually warned his followers to: "Listen and obey even if a black slave becomes your leader, so long as he should enforce amongst you the Law of ; you can read the links for more.

Answer 17

If you are a serious student of the Quran, then u should THRASH all the history that is told by the muslims / organized Islam. It is all based on guess work and fabrications. The Quran INDICATES the source of slaves in those times and the "ONLY" permissible way of obtaining them. However the Quran ALSO indicates that it was later put to an end by the Quran itself. Ref. : 8:67 Indicates the ONLY source of slaves . captives of war. 8:67 No prophet shall acquire captives, unless he participates in the fighting. You people are seeking the materials of this world, while GOD advocates the Hereafter. GOD is Almighty, Most Wise. ------ The Slavery put to an end: Also a rule regarding the POWs. Ref. 47:4 If you encounter (in war) those who disbelieve, you may strike the necks. If you take them as captives you may set them free or ransom them, until the war ends. Had GOD willed, He could have granted you victory, without war. But He thus tests you by one another. As for those who get killed in the cause of GOD, He will never put their sacrifice to waste. ------ There is a misconcept that the "Right hand possession" is the slaves. No it is not so. It is the women that were believers, but married to non-believers. And they would flee from the enemy camp during the course of war or while taken during victory and would accede that they are believers. . Ref. 60:10, 60:12 60:10 O you who believe, when believing women (abandon the enemy and) ask for asylum with you, you shall test them. GOD is fully aware of their belief. Once you establish that they are believers, you shall not return them to the disbelievers. They are not lawful to remain married to them, nor shall the disbelievers be allowed to marry them. Give back the dowries that the disbelievers have paid. You commit no error by marrying them, so long as you pay them their due dowries. Do not keep disbelieving wives (if they wish to join the enemy). You may ask them for the dowry you had paid, and they may ask for what they paid. This is GODs rule; He rules among you. GOD is Omniscient, Most Wise. 60:12 O you prophet, when the believing women (who abandoned the disbelievers) to seek asylum with you pledge to you that they will not set up any idols besides GOD, nor steal, nor commit adultery, nor kill their children, nor fabricate any falsehood, nor disobey your righteous orders, you shall accept their pledge, and pray to GOD to forgive them. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
