Worship ALLAH and associate nothing with HIM, and to parents do good, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away, the companion at your side, the traveler, and those whom your right hands possess. Indeed, ALLAH does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful.#QUR’ 4:36 The phrase WHAT YOUR RIGHT HANDS POSSESS refers to one’s slaves (male and female). ALLAH swt ordains the kind treatment of slaves in the same verse where He commands man to worship HIM and to treat his parents, relations and neighbours generously, and this signifies the importance of this ruling Jabir ibn Abdullah said, The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, advised that slaves should be well-treated. He said, Feed them from what you eat and clothe them from what you wear. Do not punish what Allah has created. #Al-Adab al-Mufrad Al-Bukhari , Nr. 188. Sallam ibn Amr reported from one of the Companions of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, Your slaves are your brothers, so treat him well. Ask for their help in what is too much for you and help them in what is too much for them.#Al-Adab al-Mufrad Al-Bukhari , Nr. 190. All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that Gods name and our teaching may not be slandered.”#Timothy 6:1(NT) Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. #1 Peter 2:18(NT) Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.#Leviticus 25:44-46 WE CLEARLY SEE THAT THE BIBLE IS NOT A BOOK FOR FREEING SLAVES, LET THE TRUTH SET YOU FREE. ALLAAH, THE GREATEST!!!
