  • Why Did Muslim Rulers Keep Slaves And Concubines In Later Times

    Posted by Aejaz Ahmed on April 6, 2023 at 6:27 am

    اسلام نے اس دور میں رائج غلام اور لونڈیوں کا نظام ختم کرنے کے لئے قرآن اور سنت رسولﷺ میں واضح اور دو ٹوک احکامات کیوں نہیں دیئے جیسے کہ سود وغیرہ کے لئے دیئے ؟؟

    بعد کے خلفاء اور مسلمان حکمران غلام اور لونڈی کیوں رکھتے رہے ؟؟

    فَشُدُّوا الۡوَثَاقَ ٭ۙ فَاِمَّا مَنًّۢا بَعۡدُ وَ اِمَّا فِدَآءً۔ محمد 47:4

    کیا احادیث اور تاریخی طور پر یہ بات ثابت ہے کہ غزوہ بدر کے موقع پر اس آیت کے نازل ہونے کے بعد کسی کو غلام اور لونڈی نہیں بنایا گیا ؟؟

      Brother Ahsan Jalal sahib, from your answer, it is clear that during the time of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), the order of Surah Muhammad verse 4 was fully implemented.

      My question is that whether no prisoner of war was made a slave or concubine even during the reign of the Caliphs Rashidin and what was the situation in this regard later during the reign of the Caliphs Banu Umayyah and Banu Abbas?

      Please explain in the light of hadiths and history.

      During the term of the Rightly Guided Caliphate also, the practical abolition of the institution of slavery continued with full force. However, in spite of all these extensive measures spanning almost half a decade, it is known fact that it was not until the turn of this century that mankind was actually able to rid itself completely of this institution. We believe the reason for this must be sought in the social complexities which exist in a community. It is extremely difficult to eradicate customs and traditions which are deeply rooted in a society. The society, as a whole did not accept the reformation started by Islam. A similar instance can be observed in the case of the political set up envisaged by Islam. It totally condemned the institution of dictatorship in which a despotic ruler and his few henchmen exercised absolute powers. It established a government which was democratic in the sense that it came into power by a majority mandate. Throughout the term of the Rightly Guided Caliphate this principle remained in force for the election of the ruler. However, after the end of the Rightly Guided Caliphate, the Arab society rejected this system and reverted to dictatorship.
