Slave Trade In Islam
Islam doesn’t permit slave trade. To understand Islam’s perspective on slavery please see: Discussion 30330
I’m sorry for a counter argument, but hearing about Juwariyya RA story still does not settle my doubts. Why on earth did her poor father have to give ransom camels to our prophet for his daughter’s release from slavery? He had every right to take her without such settlement! This shows that it’s more about making profit, than it is about the freedom of slaves. If we really wanted to, we could have freed slaves, without taking any form of payment. Our prophet would have freed Juwariyya RA without taking those camels from her father. Could you please clear this? JazakAllah Khair
Sister please understand that in order to claim that Islam permits slave trade , there should either be a passage in the Quran or an established Sunnah to support that claim. Not only that neither of these exist, but to the contrary, Islam tried to eliminate slavery from its very roots. Please go through all the material in the link above once again in order to understand the issue of slavery as well as its various aspects in context. Without properly understanding the context there will always be confusion.
