Rape & Slavery are not Condoned in Islam 🤔
A wide range of maniac mullahs and leading internet ‘Islamic evangelists’ provide mountains of evidence that sexual attacks on Islam’s enemies, female children and women of lesser morality (kafir), and indeed slavery, are and always will be divinely codified by the main Caliphate law schools (divine law) and those codes are taught to Muslim children and youth by the majority of mainstream Muslim academics. It is reason enough to ban Islam.
There is Islam at Peace and Islam at War Former Dean of the Faculty of Islamic Studies for Women at Al-Azhar University, Souad Saleh, defended the concept of Mā malakat aymānukum (“what your right hands possess”), a Quranic expression referring to slaves. Salih, said, ‘possession of an enemy’s wives for one’s own pleasure during the war is lawful and codified in Islam. In an interview on Cairo television, confirmed Allah made rape and slavery law during times of “legitimate war” between Muslims and their enemies, the Islamic scholar claimed Allah gave Muslim men “legitimate” ways to have sexual relations with slave women and children. Saleh also alleged that rape and slavery existed before Islam and Islam merely regulated the practice.
“To humiliate them, they become the property of the army commander, or of a Muslim, and he can have sex with them like he has sex with his wives,” Saleh said
Salafist Sheikh Abu Ishaq Hiweiny is not on his own when he complains Western civilisation pillaged Islamic countries and poverty is caused by abandoning holy Jihad.
He claims if Muslims practice Jihad and invaded other countries to convert their residents to Islam, those who refuse to convert would have their assets and women taken away.
As for his interpretation of the legitimacy of enslavement, Hiweiny stated that a kafir is a person who does not deserve to live, and therefore it is favourable to enslave them.
I link his views on Islamofascism to reinforce a very important point on the dangers of indoctrinated collective narcissism.
Maher Jabra, a writer focusing on Arab affairs wrote, “to this day, Al-Azhar students study the jurisprudence of slavery. In Kitab al-Ikhtiyar li Ta’lil al-Mukhtar on page 338, teaches that Imams can forcibly invade a town and he is free to divide its spoils amongst his fighters or impose a jizya (tax) on its residents and their lands. It adds that, depending on the Imam’s wishes, he could kill prisoners, enslave them or leave them.
Mainstream media tell us such teachings are derived from Salafi interpretations of Islam
Al-Imam Abdullah ibn Mahmood Ibn Maudud al Mawsili al Hanafi (599-683) was born in Mosul Iraq. He was a Qadi in Basra. Kitab al-Ikhtiyar li-Ta’lil al-Mukhtar is written by al-Hanafi. This book is considered a valuable educational tool and reference for the Hanafi jurists. His Hanafi Fiqh is studied at Azhar University and every other Islamic institution of note. His teachings are taught to both Muslim children and youth as divine and infallible codes of conduct and law.
If you read the teachings of renowned Hanafi scholars you will be aghast how they rightly vilify Christian and Western slavery, but rape and slavery in Islam come out smelling of roses, divine and more to the point, the words of God and God’s laws are both acceptable and current.
Which brings me back to my earlier point on indoctrinated collective narcissism and what is taught to Muslim children and youth by clerics and imams that run the majority of British mosques.
Muhammad Taqi Usmani is a Sunni Hanafi Maturidi Islamic scholar from Pakistan (Deoband). He served as a judge on the Federal Shariat Court of Pakistan from 1981 to 1982 and the Shariat Appellate Bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan between 1982 and 2002. Muhammad Taqi Usmani has been called “a leading scholar of Islamic jurisprudence” and “one of the most successful of the Islamic revivalist initiatives of the past century”, by The Muslim 500 website, which lists him among the 500 “most influential Muslims” in the world. His views on secularism are scary and he has openly defined modern Christians as Kafir, which is something you must clearly understand. The religious cleansing and murder of Christians in Muslim countries all over the world are sanctioned by divine codes of conduct and law. Mainstream interpretations of Islam by most Hanafi jurists offer other religious groups the same protections as apostates and atheists. The Deoband that run the majority of British mosques hold the very same heinious views. This is written by Muhammad Taqi Usmani and translated into English, it is found linked to educational resources in the United Kingdom:
“Islam allowed the taking of slaves with the conditio it is jihad sanctioned by the Shari‘ah against the disbeliever. So while the Romans would force people into slavery because of committing some crimes, and while they would put the children of slave women into slavery, apart from the captives of wars, Islam announced that it is not permissible to put anyone into slavery except in a jihad sanctioned by the Shari‘ah. Furthermore, slavery is not the only option for a captive of a jihad sanctioned by the Shari‘ah. Rather, the Imam has four options with respect to them: either he orders their execution or puts them into slavery, or he frees them by taking ransom or he shows favour on them so releases them without taking anything [in return]. Thus, taking slaves is not something necessary in Islam. Rather, it is one of four options. That is because the matter of war is a multifaceted matter, and sometimes situations arise therein in which nothing is suitable besides taking slaves because if we executed all the captives there would be wastage of human power, and were we to free them in totality, that would encourage disbelief and encourage disbelievers to commit acts of aggression against the Muslims; and were we to imprison them for the entire period of their lives that would waste their talents and waste wealth on them without any benefit returning to the society. As for taking slaves – with its conditions and its limits – it is free from this and that, for in it is the preservation of the human species and nurturing him with an Islamic nurturing, and strengthening it by employing the talents of the slaves for the wellbeing of the society. This is why Islam has left four doors open for the Imam to select from them what is appropriate to the situations and fitting to the conditions.
Moreover, Islam has afforded slaves rights that have no precedent in any other religion. Thus, He (Exalted is He) said: “And be good to parents and to kinsmen and orphans and the needy and the close neighbour and the distant neighbour and the companion at your side and the wayfarer and to what your right hands possess [i.e. your slaves]. Surely, Allah does not like those who are arrogant, proud.” (4:36)
The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: “Your brothers, your servants, Allah has placed them under your authority. So whoever’s brother is under his authority, he should feed him from what he eats and clothe him from what he wears. Do not burden them with what overpowers them, and if you burden them, help them.” Al-Bukhari transmitted it in Kitab al-Iman, Bab al-Ma‘asi min Amr al-Jahiliyyah (1:9) and in Kitab al-‘Itq, Bab Qawl al-Nabi al-‘Abid Ikhwanukum (1:346).
And he said: “The one who is harsh to his slaves will not enter paradise.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah! Did you not inform us that this ummah is the ummah with the most slaves and orphans?” He said: “Yes! So honour them as you honour your children and feed them from what you eat…” Ibn Majah transmitted it in Kitab al-Adab, Bab al-Ihsan ila al-Mamalik (1:271). And he (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: “Whoever slaps his slave or strikes him, its compensation is to free him.” Abu Dawud transmitted it in Kitab al-Adab, Bab Haqq al-Mamluk (2:703).
It was from the intense concern of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) for slaves that the last word he spoke before his death was an encouragement towards the fulfilment of their rights. Thus, Anas ibn Malik (Allah be pleased with him) narrates: “The general will of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) when death came to him and he was giving up his soul was: ‘[Be steadfast on] prayer, and [take care of] what your right hands possess.’” Ibn Majah transmitted it in Abwab al-Wasaya (1:198), and he transmitted from ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (Allah be pleased with him): “The last statement of the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) was: ‘[Be steadfast on] prayer, and [take care of] what your right hands possess.’” Abu Dawud also transmitted it in al-Adab, Bab Haqq al-Mamluk (2:701), and his wording is: “[Be observant of] Salah, [be observant of] Salah! And fear Allah in what your right hands possess.”
Such hadiths are plenty. There isn’t enough space here to exhaust them. In sum, Islam changed the system of slavery in a manner that made it one of mutual love and brotherhood, and nothing remained in Islam except the name of slavery. In fact, Islam even changed the name of slavery, in what Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: “One of you should not say ‘my male slave’ or ‘my female slave’ and the slave should not say ‘my lord’ or ‘my lady.’ The owner should say ‘my boy’ and ‘my girl,’ and the slave should say ‘my master’ and ‘my mistress.’” Abu Dawud transmitted it in al-Adab, Bab la yaqul al-Mamluk Rabbi wa Rabbati (2:680).
We must judge Islam by its leaders (interpretations/politics), following and outcomes
Not all Muslim men are child molesters and rapists, but too many Muslim men hold views that put non-Muslim female children and women at serious risk. Muhammad Taqi Usmani is both jurist and scholar. The scandalous attacks on non-Muslims in both Islamic and Western societies are all too common for anyone with a modicum of common sense to ignore.
What you have to decide – do mainstream teachings condone rape and slavery and does mainstream politics taught to Western Muslims put non-Muslim female children and women at serious risk?
What is missing from the misguided mantras we read about Islam is a detailed understanding of Islamic indoctrination and politics and how those factors influence readings of Islam by both Eastern and Western Muslims.
Let me emphasise this point again because it is either ignored or misunderstood by law enforcement, mainstream media and the British political establishment:
Teach Muslim youth the West is evil; teach clash of civilisations theory from an Islamic perspective; teach counterculturalism, them and us; make non-Muslims immoral, worthless and unclean; promote ideas of a perpetual struggle against oppression and victimhood to achieve Sharia communities – now read Islamic texts with that mindset.
Additionally, Islamic jurisprudence is a deeply troubled male mind circa 8 CE and ghastly androcentrice and patriarchal order.
