slavery

We must establish organizations devoted specifically to ending slavery in all forms, and develop coalitions with women’s organizations that are already fighting rape and slavery. American Muslims with personal ties to the Muslim world can also provide leadership in these countries to root out this evil wherever it exists.

The Prophet’s success was the result of deep faith, optimism, hope, and grassroots activism. As followers of his path, do we not owe him and our faith at least this much to stand up against ISIS, Sisi, and the nexus of war-terrorism-hate, which are all abusing the vision of our faith and our Prophet? 

While we fight against different forms of slavery that persist today there is a need for even louder faith-based voices against ISIS, which abuses the concept of slavery in Quran to justify their crimes of enslaving prisoners and taking female prisoners as concubines. This article best explains the concept of slavery in Quran and Islam.
