Answer 1

In the former times, when a war broke out between two tribes or nations, usually, one of them totally wiped out the other in the clashes. Most of the men were killed during the fight, as there were no regular standing armies and adult men from each family were expected to participate from their respective sides. The cities, villages and other dwellings of the enemy were razed to the ground.

Islam forbids the Muslims from slaying women, children and religious people of the opponents, as long as they don't try to participate in the battle and hurt them.

When the Muslims were victorious in wars during the Prophet (P.B.U.H)'s time and the enemy was overpowered, the supervision of the conquered lands fell into their hands. The complicated question of the hundreds of widowed women and children arose. Obviously, they couldn't be left on their own to starve to death with no provider. The solution to this problem was to distribute them as seemed best among the Muslims, according to their social ranks so that they would be provided for. This was done.

The next problem presented itself. These women lived in their houses and they provided for them, so what would be their status? That of their wives? Or would they be considered their daughters? Or sisters? That's ridiculous! Would all the Muslims be required to marry their war captives? (Muhammad P.B.U.H set a fine example by doing this, and encouraged it among His followers, promising them a heavenly reward if they educated the slave girls, freed them and married them, but it was illogical to make it compulsory). Of course, the solution was to allow the men to to be intimate with their war captives whom they were responsible for. Better than the gruesome treatment other nations (even today) mete out to the women of subjugated lands, huh?

Certain strict rules were set for the Muslims with respect to their slave men and women.

If a man had a child through his slave woman, he could not sell that slave woman, since she became the mother of his child. After the man's death, she would be a free woman. The child was his legally, and inherited an equal share of his father's property as the other children.

A companion of Muhammad (P.B.U.H) insulted his slave, calling him the son of a black woman. Muhammad (P.B.U.H) heard this, and exclaimed:"O Abu Zar! u insult him on account of his mother? u have done something which exhibits ur ignorance! They are ur brothers, u have them under ur control, and whoever has his brother under his control should feed him with what he eats himself, should clothe him with what he wears himself, and should not order him to execute a difficult task, and if he assigns such a task to him, he himself should help him accomplish it."

A companion of Muhammad (P.B.U.H) slapped his slave in a state of fury. Seeing the signs of anger on Muhammad (P.B.U.H)'s face, the companion became frightened and said: "O Prophet of Allah! I free him for Allah's sake." He (P.B.U.H) declared: If u hadn't done that, u would have been burned in h**l fire"

Islam didn't abolish slavery at once since it was not feasible due to several reasons. But freeing the slaves who could become independent was made the expiation of several sins. Great rewards were promised to those who freed their slaves. The captivation of male and female war captives was continued till the caliphate of Umar (P.B.U.H), one of the closest companions of Muhammad (P.B.U.H) during His life. When the standing armies were established, and the war captives remained a problem no longer, the tradition of war captives was totally abolished.

The bottom line is: the Muslim world was cleared of slavery centuries before the other civilized nations!

Hope that I am getting through...

Any questions?

Answer 2

Well, if Allah says it's ok...then it must be ok. Of course, you can't FORCE them...just persuade them by gently beating them if they displease you. Eventually they will come around to the right way of thinking.

Answer 3

No, it is very wrong and immoral.
