االسم ںیم الغیم اک وصتر-اکی یقیقحت اجزئہ
Abstract
Islam means a belief in the total submission to Allah
Almighty and this is the only source of success, here and in
hereafter. Islam gives respect and esteem to every human
being and does not allow one to keep other human fellow as
slave. It stresses on its believers to free the humanity from
the slavery and clutches of other human beings and to invite
and facilitate them to the slavery of their real Master and
Creator. To be an obedient servant of Allah Almighty is the
real and basic theme of Islam. Many verses of the Holy
Quran and sayings of the Holy Prophet (SAW) convey and
explain this message. Despite all this, even then Islam did
not eradicate the concept of slavery; rather it fixed and
determined the rights of slaves and prisoners. This idea
confuses many those, who have only superficial knowledge
of Islam. The fact is that the concept of slavery in Islam is a
sound proof of its being a real and divine religion with
eternal and everlasting teachings, provided it is studied in
depth and impartially. The given article argues this point in
the light of Quran, Hadith and life of the Holy Prophet
(SAW), which will be a valuable addition in the knowledge
of readers.
