Islamic slavery represents a dark chapter in Islamic history, deeply intertwined with racism and sexism. Slavery is the reason why Quraysh fought the Prophet. It is the reason why most Muslims today follow Islam of Quraysh, rather than Islam of Muhammad.

This was part of the premodern moral order acknowledged by practically all nations despite the fact that neither Muslims nor Christians countenanced it being justified to their own. Many Muslim jurists allowed for Muslims to make non-Muslim captives into slaves but forbade the

The Prophet's first directives were to pray, donate to the poor, and liberate slaves. Though he never owned slaves, Muslims fabricated reports claiming he did. Slavery persisted for centuries until Europeans pressured its abolition. Muslims should reflect on this issue.
I think we Muslims should ponder why political liberalism, initiated by thinkers like Locke, ultimately abolished slavery in the West.
And why we didn't take Qur'an's call for "freeing a neck" (90:14) to end "Islamic slavery," which ended much belatedly with Western pressures.

The Quran unequivocally places the onus on the individual for their actions, regardless of their group affiliation or whether they are oppressed or not. Q74:38 'Every soul is a pledge for what it has earned', Q53:38, 'No burdened person shall bear the burden of another'.
The idea that members of marginalized groups have no moral agency or responsibility is an especially pernicious idea that goes against the founding doctrines of Islam.

-Slavery.
-Child marriage.
-Offensive Jihad.
-Punishing apostates.
-Stoning.
-Infallibility of humans.
-Restricting free speech.
-Niqab and abuse of women.
-End of time apocalypse.

-None of above.

This line of argument by Muslim apologists is futile. Engaging in sexual relations with a 9-year-old is repugnant and constitutes pedophilia, whether in the past or present.
Age of Aisha is known because of her boasting about it later in life. She was happy. Why we getting involved?
Rebuttal is refuted because Prophet ﷺ never commanded us to do this, so it's not a law. Marriage is allowed if a girl is physically ready and her father approves.

Did the Prophet owned slaves or concubines? No! It is illogical to believe that he, who prayed voluntary night prayers until his feet swelled as commanded in Q73:2, would disobey a similar command in Q90:13 to free slaves, even if it was voluntary, and choose to own them instead!
I read a South Asian Muslim say this: “Muslims traded more slaves than anyone else in history”. Brain-dead statements like this are why I don’t even bother responding to the self-hating insecure little brown boys and their rants. But let me display just how far removed from

The Quran discourages the concept of nationalism and views it as a hindrance to the pursuit of truth. It urges people to regard tribal and national affiliations as a means of identification rather than a source of pride.
Nationalism was a disaster. We have to go back to giant multiethnic empires that only care about keeping the peace and collecting taxes.

Many Muslims treat Islam more as an ethnicity than as a faith, and this is how the Islam of Quraysh has survived in many Arab and Muslim communities for centuries.

To achieve moral clarity, we must acknowledge that anything that is morally unacceptable is considered haram. Donating to the poor is a morally commendable, and God would reward it. Conversely, hoarding money and neglecting the poor is morally wrong and also considered haram. 1/2
While I agree that the logic of the original post is not completely congruous with the moral logic and reality of the Shariah, I doubt that the alternate reading of my friend Mustafa is the path to moral clarity. Just because something is halal doesn’t make it “perfectly” morally

His advocacy for these social reforms caused disruption to Quraysh's economy, resulting in a violent campaign against him. Quraysh wanted him to send away those poor believers (Q6:52). This compelled him to leave Mecca and relocate to Medina, and his pursuers followed him.

Contrary to popular belief: Quraysh did not used to marry 9 year olds. The Prophet did NOT marry a 9 year old.

Prof. Rashid Khalidi is 100% right on his assessment of Biden and Trump. Biden had been worse than Trump.
"I think this Administration has been worse for Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims than the Trump Administration," Rashid Khalidi tells me, in the latest episode of the Minority Views Podcast, dropping tomorrow. Says he will not vote for Joe Biden.

This is not good. Muslims destroyed Muslim countries with useless fiery emotions. Trudeau made a good gesture by visiting the Mosque. Muslims should have been gracious and engaged in constructive dialogue.
Crying and yelling like children doesn’t help.

The concept of modern citizenship remains largely unfamiliar in the Global South, which includes Muslim-majority nations. Out there, one's ethnicity typically takes precedence as the primary determinant of identity.

The following verse, Q17:2, specifically refers to Moses. In early tafsir traditions, such as those by Ibn Abbas and al-Thawri, Quran 17 was known as Surat Bani Israel, indicating its focus on the Children of Israel.

One of the greatest deceptions and falsehoods used to justify slavery was the misinterpretation of "Milk al Yameen" as "right hand possessed". The term actually refers to fiancée, which is still used in some modern Arabic dialect today. 1/3

I've noticed that when non-Muslim Westerners learn of a white person converting to Islam, they often see it as forsaking their culture, viewing Islam as foreign. This isn't the case when a white person switches from Christianity to atheism.

One of the most notable cultural differences between the Global South and the North revolves around the relationship between ethnicity and citizenship. In the Global South, these two concepts frequently coincide, whereas in the North, they tend to remain distinct.

If the last day on here has taught me anything, it's that Indians will never truly grasp how the target even was Canadian, or what's wrong with killing him on Canadian soil. I don't think it's just an online thing, if it's this universal. Canada and India will talk past eachother

The Prophet's call to the Quraysh was not limited to monotheism but also included freeing slaves and providing for the poor. While belief in one God is a personal choice ( to you, your religion; to me, mine - Q109:6), the command to free slaves and feed the poor is not (Q36:47)

The Hadtihs regarding the death penalty for apostates are fabricated and lack foundation in the Quran.
Why is there no religious freedom in Islam? Why are apostates given the death penalty? [THREAD🧵]
Objection to Islam is often raised against the death penalty prescribed for apostasy (abandonment of religion). Since religion in Western civilization came to be looked at as a

Similarly, does God command us to free slaves? Yes, He does. And freeing slaves is a morally commendable act. Conversely, acquiring slaves is morally wrong, and it is considered haram. 2/2

The argument put forth by Muslims is not novel. Quraysh presented a comparable argument, which was that our ancestors had been worshipping idols for thousands of years, so were they all wrong?
@AkyolinEnglish
Let’s not be so clumsy about this. There are all sorts of things that are halal per se but considered reprehensible by our customary morality. The shariah allows these to be prohibited by custom (like requiring men to wear shirts) or if a common good is achieved (ex. abolition)1/
