Can I get an explanation to this,please?
« on: September 13, 2017, 06:06:38 PM »
My debater was saying this

++"ENSLAVING,enslaving is considered one of the detestable things that are permissible". 
---Notice your use of these two words detestable and permissible.  You are making a moral judgement that slavery is detestable.  You feel that if you were taken into slavery you will detest it.  You will fight to free your self. 

--- However the conflict comes when you think that
a god who should have your back,
a god who should protect you,
a god who should look out for you and
a god who should know what is best for you,
that god made it permissible.... 
that god made it permissible for people to take you into slavery,
that god made it permissible to take your offspring into slavery,
that god made it permissible to take your daughter, your sister in to sexual bondage.

Once again, what is the honest position here? Try to find excuses or acknowledge that this deity Permits slavery, and its wrong

Did you bring up the point about the "Treatment of Slaves" during your debate?

Judging from his comment, your debater seems to have the idea that the treatment of slaves in Islam was the same as the one which was practiced in the west and other countries....you must first of all clear this misconception in order to proceed...

As'salamu Alaikum dear brothers,

Islam's treatment and rules for slaves is detailed here:

www.answering-christianity.com/ac18.htm#links

Allah Almighty commands Muslims to free slaves.  It is the harder course:

‏90:11 فلا اقتحم العقبة
‏90:12 وماادراك ماالعقبة
‏90:13 فك رقبة

[090:011]  But man does not attempt the harder (uphill course).
[090:012]  And how would you know what the harder course (of action) is ماالعقبة?
[090:013]  (It is) freeing slaves,
فك رقبة

A lot more Noble Verses and also Hadiths and details in the linked section, above.

Take care,
Osama Abdallah
