Right hand possesses in Quran
-
I found many people here having problem with "right hand possesses" in the verses of Quran which refers to slaves and in many verses it refers to female slaves coz they are mentioned along with wives.
What are your views on that and why do you think verses do not refer to slaves and the translators are in error ?

To clarify for you, he is essentially saying that Ma Malektat Aymunkum are slaves. This is not something that everyone agrees with (including me) You could check other views.
Good luck

Supporting the point that slaves in the highlighted sense do have relation to the Verbal sentence you are talking about.
Sorry , but I am still unable to figure out whats your point.

Ma Malakat Aymanukum is obviously slaves because the word refers to a person who is in your possession or you are owner of that person.

Peace,
You'll need to read context; we know people also inherit from their spouses and need to ask -- where are they in this verse?
433 and to each We made/appointed heirs from what left the parents and the close relatives (i.e. children, brothers, and sisters) and the ones who aqadat pledged your right hands (i.e. their spouses) so give them their share indeed The God is over each a thing Witness
To imply your right hands means/insert slaves or people are entitled to inherit from their slaves in above verse is ridiculous nor are shares to or from slaves even mentioned.

This is pretty much what Mazhar is saying.
My issue with taking MMA as slaves is that there is another term for slaves elsewhere. Also the idea that one can unguard their private parts to their zawj or their slaves at 235-6 is wrong IMO. Thus MMA must mean something other than slaves as far as I can see.
Also what indication is there that one's right hand possession indicates slaves when the Quran uses the same word to mean oath (eg 2224-225)

You possess by OATH. You don't own slaves by oath but by money or inheritance. Slavery is a barbaric Pharoanic concept. The Quran ordered us to free slaves to how can it then tell us to own them?

Good point.

35.42 They swore their strongest oaths by Allah that if a warner came to them, they would follow his guidance better than any (other) of the Peoples But when a warner came to them, it has only increased their flight (from righteousness),-

231 hence succeed the believers (addresses all male and female believers)
232 the ones who they in their prayers humble
233 and the ones who they about the nonsense averse/turning away
234 and the ones who they of purification works doing
235 and the ones who they of their private parts guardians
236 only over their spouses or what possess their right hands (i.e. their big black male slaves according to you) so indeed they not blameworthy -

Between 1530 and 1780 there were almost certainly 1 million and quite possibly as many as 1.25 million white, European Christians enslaved by the Muslims of the Barbary Coast.

They could be big white slaves also yes

I don't know how did you get from "right hand possesses" to rape ?
sex slavery ? No . From hadiths it is clear that they are those kuffars who were captured in wars.
So your hadith says that kuffars kidnapped in war shall be turned into sex slaves ? That's called "rape".

Some arabic words to understand
oaths=aymna
your oaths=aymnikum
their oaths=aymnihim

No where the verse uses the word slave. It is correctly translated as pledged your right hands . This doesn't mean slave in any context, because the word "aymanukum" is not preceded by "ma malakat" which means "what possess". This term simply refers to those whom you have made any agreement.
Good point.

You are confusing the word aymnihim with aymnuhum. The verse do not mention their right hands.

For the verse 3355 , yes it is talking about slaves, but there is nothing about SEX or PRIVATE PARTS in this verse. It just talks about those people with whom women can converse without hijab.
For 236 , it is a consensus that it is referring to "wives" and female slave girls, there is no difference of opinion in this.

sex slaves? Did I ever use this term ? They will be distributed among mujahideens and they must take care of them. One permission granted to the owners of slave girls is that they can have sexual intercourse with them. I don't know how you consider this to be rape.
-
whatever

Just listen to yourself. Mujaheden make war, and kidnap women. They are being "distributed" and enslaved and then used for sex.
That is called "rape" . Otherwise, tell me, would your mother willingly have sex with the enemy of her country who enslaved her?
A slave you use for sex is called "sex slave".

You are getting emotional.
Please explain to me who are these women who are my possession but not my wife and I don't have to guard my private parts from them ?
