ABOUT SLAVERY IN QURAN

WHAT DOES THE PHRASE YOUR RIGHT HANDS
POSSESSION( ) SIGNIFY?

Rebuttal of Fictitious Traditional Interpretations

Relevant Verses Brought under Rational

and Academic Scrutiny

PRELUDE

Maa Malakat Ayimanu-kum Your Right Hands Possession is a widely used

phrase in Quran. When we find it generally interpreted by our earlier and
contemporary scholars as Slave Women our hearts are afflicted with grief over
this cruel, discriminatory degradation of human female gender that is bestowed
with the great attribute of a mother. It was duly observed that in all the research
papers or any written work on this subject, this Arabic phrase was defined with the
definition of Your Right Hands Possession, and thereafter a part of humanity
was forcibly drawn under this supposed category of possession and they were
called by the title of Slaves! It was proved there from that Allah swt, by giving
some humans in the ownership of some others, Has ordained or, at least, agreed
with the act of creating an inferior class of humans; He is portrayed as having
given the choice to the richer class of people to treat some of their own kind as
purchased commodity and to treat them as they wish???

It is very surprising to note, however, that the flag bearers of Islam are still seen
hypocritically proclaiming all human beings as respectable by referring to
 ebooks.i360.pk

Quran; they frequently quote Verse 17/70, which proclaims: Wa laqad karram-na
bani Aadama And indeed we have conferred dignity on the children of
Adam???

The question arises here as to which text of Quran is to be taken as true and which
one as false (God forbid)? Whether some humans have been made male and
female slaves, by declaring them as Your right hands possession, and given in
the ownership of some other guys who could act as slave masters, OR, all children
of Adam have been awarded dignity and self-esteem by virtue of their basic right
of freedom???

To help my Readers arrive at a decision on this issue, a Verse of Quran is quoted

hereunder where the era of Deen (Divine Discipline) is stated to be that ideal
state of a society where no human will have proprietary rights or authority over
another human. Kindly have a look at Verse 82/19 along with some of its context :-

Transliteration: Wa maa adraa-ka maa youmud-Deen? Thumma, maa adraa-ka

maa youm-ud-Deen? Youma laa tamliku nafsun li-nafsin shayian. Wa al-amru
youmaidhin lillaah.

Translation:

What do you know as to what the era of Deen means? Again, what do you
know as to what era of Deen means? It is the era, the stage of time, when no
human will have proprietary rights or authority over another man.

Dear Readers, from this elaborate text from our Creators Word, it becomes amply
clear that the particular time period when the Quranic Phrase Maa Malakat
Ayimanu-kum was misconceived as possession of male and female slaves, was
neither the true Era of Deen, nor the above referred Divine Decree was in force in
the corresponding society at that time! So, at that deplorable moment in time, a
blatant violation of Gods Word and an evil un-Quranic concept was
mischievously put into practice for paving the way towards a feudal tyrannical
 ebooks.i360.pk

system of Slavery in Ialam. In actual fact, it was only the period of the Pious
Caliphate under the 2nd and 3rd Pious Caliphs, which we can rightly call the era
of Deen, which subsequently ended with them. The period that followed was
symbolized by the dominance and enforcement of monopolistic interests of feudal
and royal classes. Accordingly, the interpretations of Quranic injunctions prepared
in that later period, in the light of Hadith (man-made tell-tale lies) and Fiqh (man-
made Islamic jurisprudence), only served to strengthen the class-based
discriminatory foundations of a society benefitting only the rich and noble classes,
utterly repugnant to the justice and equality based tenets of Islam.

It was duly noted in this research process that all existing interpretations, and the
translations based thereupon, have incorporated unwanted lengthy explanations of
Quranic texts under the internal subjective thought process. As for the Islamic
jurisprudence, we note that such a vast amount of written matter was produced in
respect of male and female slaves, and so much legislation was formulated in
relation to slavery and particularly female slaves that this satanic practice was
given the official status of an established institution. And taking cover of that
legislation (Fiqh) that legalized the buying and selling of humans, serious and
widespread violations of Quranic injunctions dealing with human rights have been
committed throughout the prolonged rule of despotic Muslim governments.
Slavery was officially banned in Arabia only in the 3 rd decade of 20th century AD
under a resolution of the UNO.

My intellectual Readers would easily acknowledge that unless the definition of the
major Theme or Proposition described as Maa malakat Ayimanu-kum is not
analyzed and examined in respect of its objective material reality, any subsequent
deductions made out of the corresponding text, or whatever juridical decrees issued
on the theme, would not stand on sound legal footings. But till date no jurist has
ever tried to take the right path. So it proves that in this modern academic and
intellectual world the Muslim is still adamant to stick to its one and a half
millennium old deductive logic. He has failed in curing his perennial sickness.
Almost all of our interpretations and translations based thereupon have reached us
in a fictitious form that has followed the same old logic. Thats why we continue
to live as a lost and pathetic nation. Our elders have never bothered to investigate
as to why Allah Almighty can hand over some humans into the ownership of some
 ebooks.i360.pk

others as slaves when He, according to His Scriptures, is the greatest advocate of
human freedom and dignity.

So, in this objective state of affairs, we have no alternative but to take the initiative
and try on our own to discover the ultimate truth of Quranic injunctions on this
Theme. Therefore, in the following paragraphs, the original rational meanings of
all relevant Verses of Quran are taken up. A detailed analysis is carried out of all
the texts that belong to the crucial phrase highlighted under the title of this research
article. Effort is made to bring about a natural death to the slavery-ridden fictitious
Islam that continues spoiling generation after generation of Muslims. It is our
conviction that only this way we can bring back to light the Real and True Islam of
the great Quran from the darkness of evil designs of the entire chain of our
despotic rulers.

Those of my brothers/sisters who feel an innate urge to seek the truth of Quran are
requested to preserve these translations as an all time reference material. These are
crucial policy injunctions of the true Islamic Ideology which will serve as most
effective rebuttal for the evil forces which are hell bent on making us a target of
ridicule and contempt on the basis of the Big Arab Hoax.

And now, proclaiming the entire distorted definitions of Maa Malakat Ayimanu-
kum as based on fraud, ill-logic and evil intentions, helping to serve the ulterior
and lustful motives of creating a very low category of womenfolk as concubines, a
most authentic definition is presented here under which fully accords with relevant
context of Quran as well as human intellect and wisdom :-

Maa Malakat Ayimanukum: :

Those who are under your payroll or supervision or guardianship or

subordination (working for you) under an oath or, in modern terminology,
working contract; those who are working for you as your
employees/subordinates, under a mutually signed
contract/agreement/covenant/terms and conditions.

Malakat: Which you have under your subordination/supervision/employment.

 ebooks.i360.pk

Yameen: Ayiman: ; Oath; oath of allegiance; oath of office; oath, like

I swear by God! Right side, right hand, to bless, lead to the right, be a cause of
prosperity/fortune/lucky.
Considering the legitimate definition more carefully you will discover that no
distinction has been made here as to male or female. Then why it is so that the
entire hierarchy of religious clerics is hell bent on deriving the meaning of
WOMEN SLAVES there from? Rather, the overall allowance of keeping
concubines is derived from here and then the different aspects and forms of
legitimate sexual relationship with them is elaborated in lustful details exhibiting a
worst kind of obsession with forced sex. The corresponding Quranic injunctions
are then connected to slavery and a loud verdict is given that to have female slaves
is a normal routine in Islam; and thats why the instructions in this respect have
been issued! Its undoubtedly a shameful phenomenon for Muslims!

Another lame excuse is also put forward in favor of their corroded deductive logic
by saying that the mention of slavery in Quran is always given in the form of Past
Tense; it is because in the pre-Islamic Arab societies slavery was rampant and this
process had encountered the advent of Islam. Therefore, various commandments
were needed to be issued for the disposal of all the existing slaves, and it is those
existing ones who were named Maa Malakat Ayimanukum. This logic is
manifestly lame as it consists of the usual apologetic tactics. We know very well
that an effective remedial disposal was made for slaves during the reign of the
holy Messenger and Slavery only re-emerged starting the despotic Damascus
regime of Umayyads where, as a result of continued conquests of territories, huge
number of male and female prisoners were transported back to the capital cities of
Islam. Huge volumes of Islamic jurisprudence legislated during the 2nd, 3rd and 4th
centuries al-Hejira is full of dealings with slaves, and prescribes rules for their
purchase and resale, their lending or borrowing and transferring as gift or grant
from one to others. And during all the despotic Islamic governments starting from
Umayyads down to Indias Moghul emperors, the royal palaces and the Harems
connected therewith have been full of purchased or captured male and female
slaves.

As for the true face of Quran, only a single direct verdict from its text had done
away with the question of slavery once for all, when it ordained (8/67):-
 ebooks.i360.pk

It is not permissible at all for the Nabi (the Leader of men and head of state)
that he may own or possess captives even though he would have dominated a
large part of earth. You may desire the gains of this world, while Allah envisions
the bounties of Hereafter for you. And He is the dominant and the wise one.

Usraa ( ) is the equivalent of prisoners. And it was the prisoners of wars

who constituted the major source of supply of slaves; the defiant males among
them had to be kept in bonds or within the guarded four walls lest they should
escape.

It was also categorically ordained in Quran in Verse 47/4:-

NOW WHEN you are face to face with those bent on denying the truth, smite
their necks until you overcome them fully, and then tighten their bonds; but
thereafter set them free, either by an act of grace or against ransom, so that the
burdens of war may be alleviated.

But in spite of clear cut injunctions against all kinds of slavery, and against the
only source thereof, nobody cared to deliberate as to what segment of a society was
singled out by repeatedly suggesting the phrase maa malakat ayimanukum! As
elaborated above, it was in reality the subordinate working class of society for
whose welfare and protection our Creator had a big concern. He emphasized this
concern time and again. And this great concern of His was corroborated in very
clear terms by the following conclusive injunction from Him :-

Verse 16/71:

 ebooks.i360.pk

Transliteration: Wallahu fadhdhala badhu-kum alaa badin fir Rizq. Fa mal-

lazina fudhdhiloo bi-raaddi rizqi-him alaa maa malakat ayimana-hum fa-hum
fi-hi sawaaan. A-fa-bi-nimati-llahi yajhadoon.

Translation:

And Allahs law has bestowed upon some of them a superiority over others in
the matter of means of production and sustenance (
). Therefore, those
who enjoy this superiority are required to return/distribute their earnings unto
those who are employed by them under contract so that all of them stand on an
equal status in this respect. Would they still stockpile Allahs grants only for
themselves?

This revolutionary commandment issued by the Almighty stands as the only all
time golden methodology or formula for alleviating the wide gulf between riches
and poverty and between the employer and the employee. Acted upon sincerely, it
can remedy the sufferings, sorrows, grief and deprivation inflicted upon the poorer
classes of humanity without a fraction of doubt! To remove the disparity and
discrimination between powerful and weaker classes of society, no greater
practical solution can be conceived than this benevolent divine injunction. The
entire surplus that is earned through the hard labor of workers, which is known in
modern economic terms as the unpaid wages of workers need to be returned to
these workers as their legitimate right! How easy it is to realize that this theme is
certainly NOT dealing with the advocacy or legitimacy of slavery!

We come back to the same reality as elucidated above; that if we do not analyze
the definition and the spirit of our Major Proposition on the criterion of the latest
Dialectic Rationalism for ascertaining its objective material reality, many horizons
of knowledge and awareness will refuse to open before us. We will continue being
victims of conspiracies of the dark ages of despotic rule, and would keep
inadvertently smearing the face of our own Ideology with crap and nonsense; and
then continue advancing lame and apologetic justifications before the world!
Slavery in any form or any degree would always be tantamount to violation of
every human value, and no philosophy or ideology from any faith group can ever
justify it as legitimate.

The next stage or era of our evolution can be ushered in only after we fully discern
the true definitions of Quranic terminology like Al-Baqarah, An-Nisaa,
Nikaah, Talaaq, Fohosh, Mohsinaat, Azwaaj, Buyoot, Taaam, etc.
As long as the foundations are not in order, no structure of righteous thinking can
be built upon them. Our passion for an indiscriminate application of distorted or
improper meanings of the above mentioned Arabic words of Quran will have to be
dealt with sternly. This is our obnoxious inheritance from old times and part of our
convictions. So, it will be a tough task for us to abandon and replace it with the
most pertinent, pragmatic and rational definitions.

Nevertheless, let us now embark on our project of presenting for everyones

consideration the most up to date Rational Translation of all Verses bearing the
phrase maa malakat ayimanukum so that all questions arising in Readers
minds are appropriately and authentically answered and an ideal situation of total
mental or intellectual satisfaction is created. Adding the aforementioned Verse
above, these are in total 11 Verses which cover the entire Quranic input on this
Theme and therefore, make this thesis a conclusive effort.

It must be remembered that the Chapter An-NISAA is not about WOMEN, but
according to its pure academic lexical meaning, it deals with the downtrodden,
exploited, subdued, forgotten poor classes of society and elaborates injunctions
for their uplift, welfare and prosperity. On those occasions where it talks
particularly about women, it is only because women have also been kept
subservient and deprived of their rights and privileges, and thus stand included in
the weaker classes. Their status remains the same up to this day in the Muslim
civilization. Let us proceed ahead step by step towards the destination of present
research.

deem appropriate to you; then if you think you cant treat all of them justly,
sponsor only one; OR just take care of those who are already under your
subordination through an oath or working contract/agreement ( ) .
This way it is more likely that you will not over burden yourselves.

Translation:

And forbidden to you is to forcibly bring under your domination, from the
weaker masses ( ) , those segments/groups/communities who are morally
righteous and well- protected ( ) except those who have already come
under your oath of allegiance ( ) : this is God's ordinance, binding
upon you. But lawful is, all beyond the aforementioned, for you to join with them
to make them strong and protected ( ) by spending from your treasury
towards their welfare, without blood-letting ( ) . And then whatever
benefits and gains you acquire by their allegiance ( ) , do reward
them fully there for as a duty ( ) . Moreover, you will incur no
sin if, after having awarded their lawful due ( ) , you freely agree with
one another upon anything else. And do remember that God is indeed all-
knowing, wise.

CLARIFICATION ABOUT VERSE 4/24

The context of this Verse starts from Verse 4/22 where this admonition is issued :


: And do not grab and possess (
) of the weaker segments of your society ( ) all that your ancestors
) used to take in their possession ( ;) excepting what was done in the
(
past. Now the felony was committed here in such a crooked way that the sex-
obsessed religious scholars of old times always wishfully asserted only a single but
un-authentic definition of NIKAAH, viz., MARRIAGE! They also preferred
another single and lone wishful meaning of NISAA, viz., WOMEN! According to
this mindset of theirs, employed under an organized conspiracy, they interpreted
the above Verse forthwith as: Do not Marry (or sleep with) those Women whom
your forefathers had Married (or fornicated)! What a joke!
The point to consider here lies in the purely academic lexical definition of the word
NIKAAH which stipulates that it can mean Marriage only exceptionally, just when
it is used in company of some other word/words that may lead to the relation of
Marriage between man and woman! Where only the word NIKAAH is used
without any other subsequent lead or clue towards Marriage, Nikaah cannot be
taken to mean Marriage. It would most of the times mean: to take into
possession; to take in your guardianship or sponsorship or in employment or
into any agreement of working relationship as per the dictates of the context of
narration. This explanation of the meaning of NIKAAH enjoys full lexical
authority and not only solves many puzzles arising in Readers minds but also
 ebooks.i360.pk

opens up new horizons of thought and deliberation! But imagine the corroded
mindset of our so-called religious scholars! How could they suppose that the
younger generations would be attracted towards marrying the ageing widows left
behind by their forefathers? And that Allah would be so shocked on this
phenomenon that He would specifically order them NOT TO DO THAT?? What a
big joke with Quran! Imagine as to how old the women married to your fathers
and grandfathers are supposed to be? Naturally very old! And who would be the
insane young males, leaving alone younger women of comparable age and going
after those old ones who, by virtue of their direct relationship, should be their
mothers, and grandmothers, etc.? You would feel like crying in bewilderment on
the insanity of these fake translations!!! And some of the traditionist scholars
would still not feel ashamed in advancing lame excuses that this was an existing
practice among the Arabs of that time! VOW! Is that true? Ask any Arab sage
about it! Okay! However, in the end, they need to answer another big and crucial
question: Was Quran sent for only the Arab society, and dealt with only their
prevalent customs, or was it meant for the guidance of the entire humanity???
You will find them dumbfounded, having no answer to that!!

permission of the authorized elders of those communities ( ) and then

powerful and fully protected and might resort to untoward behavior, they will be
liable to half the punishment as compared to other already powerful and
protected units. This favored treatment is only for those units who have been
facing difficulties and hardship. But those of you who remain steadfast in those
unfavorable situations, it will be a source of great benefit for you because Allah
is the provider of protection and mercy in difficult situations.

Apart from the above directives ( ) , women cannot be freed from their
responsibilities ( ) to work for your mission ( ;) nor can you
exchange their existing teams with the new comrades/people irrespective of your
admiration for their qualities. The exception is only for those already working

CONCLUSION

Concluding this crucial research article, it is of paramount importance to disclose

that out of all contemporary scholars of Quran, only Dr. Qamar Zaman (late) of
Lahore has attempted a modern rational translation of this crucial research, and it is
incumbent upon this humble writer to acknowledge and highlight his efforts. His
work can be seen on his website. However, in my humble opinion, most of the
translations by this learned late scholar are not only substantially ambiguous, but
are rather riddled with serious errors of language and expression, and thus, remain
unable to convey their inner meanings or to draw forth their essential perspective.
It is also a proven fact that the learned scholar had lately deviated towards
materialistic and atheistic line of thought. We acknowledge his freedom of thought
and action. And in any case, the above expression of a personal opinion does not
deter us from paying him tributes for breaking the ancient ice on this Quranic
Theme and we give him due credit for his efforts in the direction of this modern
research.
