What kind of Hafiz are you that you dont know the things that are in your own books. Now you want Mulhids to teach you what is and is not in the Quran?
Quran:
33:50 "Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have granted dowries and the slave girls whom God has given you as booty."
4:24 And forbidden to you are wedded wives of other people except those who have fallen in your hands
23:5-6 And they who guard their private part, except with their wives or those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession, for then they are free from blame,
70:30 And those who guard their private parts, Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed -
Tafsir Jalalayn:
33:50:
O Prophet! Indeed We have made lawful for you your wives whom you have given their dowries and what your right hand owns of those whom God has given you as spoils of war from the disbelievers whom you have taken captive such as Safiyya and Juwayriyya and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who emigrated with you as opposed to those who did not emigrate and any believing woman if she gift herself in marriage to the Prophet and if the Prophet desire to take her in marriage and ask for her hand in marriage without paying her a dowry
Here Jalalayn commentary is saying Prophet Muhammad himself engage in slavery, rape and abuse of female prisoners of war such as Juwayriyya and Safiyya which is exactly what ISIS did to Yazidi women.
The second highlighted part shows a special discount only for Prophet of Allah to have sex with any woman who offers herself to him and he doesnt need to pay her dowry. Is he sent to Earth to spread message of Allah or to have sex with as many women as he can with special discounts not offered to anyone else??
4:24:
And forbidden to you are wedded women those with spouses that you should marry them before they have left their spouses be they Muslim free women or not; save what your right hands own of captured slave girls whom you may have sexual intercourse with even if they should have spouses among the enemy camp but only after they have been absolved of the possibility of pregnancy after the completion of one menstrual cycle; this is what God has prescribed for you kitāba is in the accusative because it is the verbal noun.
Here it is saying that you can do rape with slave girls even if that girl is married to another man.
23:5-6:
and who guard their private parts against what is unlawful - except from their spouses that is to their spouses and what slaves their right hands possess that is concubines for then they are not blameworthy in having sexual intercourse with them.
Here it talks about not only sex with slave girls but also concubines which means laundiyan.
Is this a religion or a cult of sexually charged rapists and devil worshippers??
Imagine the horror and terror as those captured women are being forcefully raped inside tents and outside tents by Sahabas of RasoolAllah while the bodies of their fathers and brothers lay scattered near by. SubhaanAllah.
Any person who calls this as a mercy or blessing for mankind should go drown themselves in nearby sewers.
Thank you for teaching me my religion. :) I would love to teach you the Quran, if you have the patience and courtesy to learn. There is a term called contextomy in English linguistics, which means "fallacy of quoting out of context" or simply "quoting out of context". What this implies is removing a passage from its surrounding matter in such a way as to distort its intended meaning.(1) You too have fallen prey to the age old folly that "men of reason" so often do.
I wish you the best, and can recommend some great courses on reasoning and logic, both in the western academia and the Islamic academia.
Now for your foolhardy logically fallacious claim that Islam orders, allows and/or condones slavery as a general rule/law. Islam has no-where explicitly or implicitly ordered to enslave a free peaceful human being. it is allowed and mandatory in only one exigent condition, that is war, and that to limited to the combatants and enablers.
For the Muslim apologists, yes, it is allowed and is mandatory when a treaty/agreement/alliance is broken and war is declared by the party, breaking the treaty/agreement/alliance Case in point was the Ghazwa of Khyber. Some scholars are of the opinion that the law was only allowed for Rasul-Allah.
Methodology: Using the Quran to explain itself. Translator and Mufassir is irrelevant for the time-being.
Reference 1: Surah Ahzaab 33:50
Reference to Context: The Surah itself starts with the family laws regarding the Family of the Prophet (SAWS) specifically which apply to the general people of Madinah and the Muslim populace at large. Then it talks about the issues that plagued the newly formed and newly integrated Madinan Society. This is largely the section from Verse 1 to Verse 27, which closes with the great Verses 26-27
V:26 "And He brought down those from the People of the Book who supported the enemy alliance from their own strongholds, and cast horror into their hearts. You believers killed some, and took others captive.
V:27: He has also caused you to take over their lands, homes, and wealth, as well as lands you have not yet set foot on. And Allah is Most Capable of everything.
The reason for mentioning these Verses is that these are directly linked to the mentioned Verse 50 from Surah 33 that Mr Scientist/Mulhid so confusedly referenced.
It is in this backdrop, that Verse 50 is revealed and states specifically for the Prophet (SAWS), that he is along with his wives he is allowed to marry from the captive women, and from the women of the migrants.
V:50 “O Prophet! We have made lawful for you your wives to whom you have paid their dowries and (allowed for marriage) are those in your possession, whom Allah has granted you and the daughters of your paternal uncles and aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncles and aunts, who have emigrated like you. Also a believing woman who offers herself to the Prophet if he is interested in marrying her—this is exclusively for you, not for the rest of the believers. We know well what We have ordained for the believers in relation to their wives and those in their possession. As such, there would be no blame on you. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
V:51 “It is up to you O Prophet to delay or receive whoever you please of your wives. There is no blame on you if you call back any of those you have set aside. That is more likely that they will be content, not grieved, and satisfied with what you offer them all. Allah knows what is in your hearts. And Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.”
V:52 “It is not lawful for you to marry more women after this, nor can you replace any of your present wives with another, even if her beauty may attract you—except those in your possession. And Allah is ever Watchful over all things.
The Verses clearly state the need and requirement of marriage, even to a Malakat Ayman.
And from the women who were taken as captive (V26:27), Safiyyah bint Huyayy (RA) became the wife of the Prophet (SAWS) and her freedom was her dowry. As a free woman, she had the choice to stay with the Prophet (SAWS), if she found him truthful, and she did so, in both cases, thus becoming a Muslimah and the Mother of the Believers (RA).
Reference 2: Surah Nisa 4:24
Reference to Context: The Surah itself starts with the rights of orphans, male and female, and the need for men and allowance made by Allah, to provide mothers to the orphans. This entails either marrying women, one two three, or four depending on the number of orphans and the responsibility that is entrusted to the mothers to mother them and raise them.
From here, starts the legal framework for maintaining orphans, inheritance and marriage, in this order. In the marriage section,
The marriage section begins from Verse 15 and ends at Verse 28. The Verse 23 starts with the Hurmat(Illegality) of marrying specific women with regards to blood relationships and continues into the verse you referenced Verse 24.
V:23 "Also˺ forbidden to you for marriage are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal and maternal aunts, your brother’s daughters, your sister’s daughters, your foster-mothers, your foster-sisters, your mothers-in-law, your stepdaughters under your guardianship if you have consummated marriage with their mothers—but if you have not, then you can marry them—nor the wives of your own sons, nor two sisters together at the same time—except what was done previously. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
V:24 "Also ˹forbidden are˺ married women—except ˹female˺ captives in your possession. This is Allah’s commandment to you. Lawful to you are all beyond these—as long as you seek them with your wealth in a legal marriage, not in fornication. Give those you have consummated marriage with their due dowries. It is permissible to be mutually gracious regarding the set dowry. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise."
Here it clearly and explicitly states what is forbidden for marriage and what is not forbidden or allowed for marriage i.e Malakat Ayman
The proof for this exegesis is in the next verse:
V:25 "But if any of you cannot afford to marry a free believing woman, then ˹let him marry˺ a believing bondwoman possessed by one of you. Allah knows best ˹the state of˺ your faith ˹and theirs˺. You are from one another. So marry them with the permission of their owners, giving them their dowry in fairness, if they are chaste, neither promiscuous nor having secret affairs. If they commit indecency after marriage, they receive half the punishment of free women.3 This is for those of you who fear falling into sin. But if you are patient, it is better for you. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
So the analysis is clear and contrary to what you stated. The Muslims were ordered to marry from Malakat Ayman, and not rape them as you are suggesting. Plus, the second condition would entail sending a proposal and getting the response in the affirmative or negative.
References 3 and 4
Surah Muminun and Surah Ma’arij are both Makkiyah Surahs, and were revealed well before the Muslims were free of persecution in Makkah and well before the migration took place. These mention Malakat Ayman but the marriage rules legislating and controlling the mens’ relative to the Malakat Ayman were revealed in Madinah. Muslims had no state of their own, and from the 80 odd people that became Muslims in Makkah, most of them were slaves.
Contrary to many of your arguments, Islam was spread by freed slaves, who became commanders and generals and conquered Rum, Fars and many of the lands that you owe your thought process to.
Mr Mulhid, you are more than welcome to have a healthy discussion, but in the end, To you your religion, for me my religion.
Apka/ki science hafiz. Humara Allah Al-Qaadir
