Adultery with slaves?
-
So you are saying that its all about marriage with slaves/people with "whom they have contractual rights"
but
235 They guard their private parts.
236 Except around their mates, or those whom they have contractual rights, they are free from blame.
states that sex is allowed with those people, and makes a difference between spouses and slaves/people with whom they have contractual rights
Also according to 3355
There is no blame upon women concerning their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their brothers' sons or their sisters' sons or their women or those their right hands possess. And fear Allah . Indeed Allah is ever, over all things, Witness.
the prophet s wives had slaves/people with whom they had contractual rights
am i understanding something wrong??
Mullahs changed the word to mean slaves. It would be nice if someone can provide the verse number in which Allah himself explained the meaning of right hand possess.I see that only few translations mentioned it in that same verse. Monotheist group
Except around their mates, or those who are maintained by their oaths, they are free from blame.236
Mates= wives
Right hand possesses= doctors, investigators, etc.See it like this We all get sick and sometimes need to reveal our private parts to doctors. In some situations, even family members get into that list.

@HP_TECH if i m posting here its because im a believer in the god of moses who forbade adultery and i cant believe in a book in which god gives a free pass for it, i dont need the quran to believe in god, im just asking for explanation for verses that can make me believe or stop believing in the q'uran
"dont seek explanations we are men like you" then why are you asking for explanations in posts you made earlier? you changed your mind about asking for explanations?
The verses im asking explanations about are NOT allegorical
and im not asking for help so i can make you a favor, im asking for help for myself, and i was counting on kind and compassionate people to show me a truth that i could have missed to be sure im not making a big mistake, but, according to your post, compassion and kindness arent your biggest features
now maybe for you i am dead meat waiting to be burnt forever, God will be the judge
Reserve your excuses, weak fallacious arguments and pretentiousness for someone else. If you are burnt meat then it came from your mouth, as your illogical conclusion of leaving quran based on one verse came from your mouth. You exposed your pathetic self and have the audacity to call yourself a believer. You claim the quran excuses adultery whilst you know it is a slander and grave thing. Rather the Tanakh and bible are full of contradictions from stoning, to mutilating the foreskins of penises to slander of prophets and the list goes on.
You are most liekly a christian trying to refute the truth by falsehood. But Allah establishes the truth by His Words.
Furthermore from a philosophical stand point you refuse to comprehend the clear evidences provided to you.
From an intellectual standpoint it is clear you have not fully read the quran. That is evident by your attempt to cite verses out of context as pointed out by many.
We can see through your weak efforts, some of us are more lenient than others.
I personally do not tolerate bs
Quran4829
Muhammad (is the) Messenger (of) Allah, and those who (are) with him (are) firm against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating, seeking Bounty from Allah and pleasure. Their mark (is) on their faces from (the) trace (of) the prostration. That (is) their similitude in the torarh And their similitude in the injeel (is) like a seed (which) sends forth its shoot then strengthens it, then it becomes thick and it stands upon its stem delighting the sowers that He (may) enrage by them the disbelievers. Allah has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds among them, forgiveness and a reward great. -
why would it mean doctor? so 3350 means the prophet can marry doctors? are you saying lies on purpose? whats the next translation Noon waalqalami and Reel? it will mean space ship next time ? dinosaur?
@HP_TECH there has been no evidence
the claims were
1- sex is allowed with slaves only if you are married to them BUT 235-6 makes the difference between spouses and slaves/people with contractual rights
2-slaves means people with contractual rights with the muslim, a kind of "marriage", but 3355 shows that the wives of the prophet had slaves (people with whom they have contractual rights) themselves, they were polygamous according to you??
3-slave means doctor = no comment
also you re assuming without proof that i didnt read the quran, which is false, saying things you do not know is a sin?
if anyone has evidence according to the Q'uran that extra marital slave sex isnt allowed, please share
-
No offence intended but your posts do come across as a bit odd and rash - which is suspicious of troll behaviour, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt and ask some questions which will help clarify if that is the case.
- what do you mean by "slave"?
- what Arabic term you are referring to for "slave"?
Note that you will have to reconcile the above two in terms of forming a Quranic understanding, i.e. I take the Arabic term X to mean "slave" and my definition of slave is backed up by Quran usage of X.
If you are genuine, the above should be simple to answer because it forms the basics of your question, showing you have at least thought about and read about the basics.

Peace,
I dont really know why you relate ma malakat yaminuka or any other cases of it to "slaves". Actually i dont get whay it is being related to human beings!
FM3350 ...wives to whom you have given their dowries and the one (?) committed to you by your oath, as granted to you by God
I dont get this girl grating thing... confused
Other translations
... Wives to whom you have given their dowries and whom (?) your right hands posses from whom (?) Allah has given you.
I dont understand this God giving people to people thing... giveup
So why dont u consider the relative "ma" as not regarding human beings?

Ugh, looks like someone got himself exposed.
But wait, why can't prophet marry a doctor?
In your next post refute us in details using Quran as the reference to prove you and your 9th century trump are correct while we are the liars.

That's how it seems. My bad, I didn't read his previous posts of this thread.

@Aries 3352 No women are lawful to you beyond this, nor that you change them for other wives, even though you may be attracted by their beauty, except those to whom you are committed by oaths. God is watchful over all things.
"except those to whom you are committed by oaths" those aren t people?
@Wakas 1- 425 And as for those of you who, owing to cir?cumstances, are not in a position29 to marry free believing women, believing maidens from among those whom you rightfully possess.30 And God knows all about your faith; each one of you is an issue of the other.31 Marry them, then, with their people's leave, and give them their dowers in an equitable manner - they being women who give themselves in honest wedlock, not in fornication, nor as secret love-companions.32 And when they are married, and thereafter become guilty of immoral conduct, they shall be liable to half the penalty to which free married women are liable.33 This to those of you who fear lest they stumble into evil.34 But it is for your own good to persevere in patience and God is much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace. (asad translation, your favorite according to a post of yours)
it is written "slave"
now what slave means noun 1 .a person who is the property of and wholly subject to another; a bond servant. (http//www.dictionary.com/browse/slave)now if they are indeed slaves or not doesnt even matter to me
the prophet s wives had ones (3355)
sex seems to be allowed with them (235-6)
the punishment of adultery for them is half the one of free women (but is the punishment of men half of the free men? since the prophets wives had ones (3355) they must have been men
you CAN marry them, or NOT, but 235 doesnt make the difference
@Reel why would God state than the prophet can marry doctors?
going to edit earlier post, its 235-6 not 2350

peace all and eid mubarak to all brothers and sisters
actually in reply to my reckless first post i may add clearly
when somebody wills to point out something from something its always very popular how people twist the meanings by their wishful thinkingcoming back to topic
as far i understand two catagories are there
one is wife/spouse
another one is girlfriend/partner which also considered as (rightfully yours)God knows best as per 37
slavery is always discouraged by system of God even pharaoh also advised by God to free the children of israel and the name of prophet adopted son(zaid) is mention in scripture who beleived to b slave as per history so we can see slavery is always discouraged by true God
God bless you all
-
@imrankhawaja 3355 the prophets wives had ones, so i dont think it can be "partners"
-
partners and wives if both are legal infront of God system than it shouldnt be any problem logically
coz all those prophets who came when there was not a trend of marriage in history at that time their partners play the exact roles compared to later socities
example is in uncivilised world you see people dnt make wives but they. make partners from which they get kids too so they considered as rightfully yours
hope you got it now

No slaves in all these pages.
The Qur'an orders to free slaves from bondage to compensate some wrong or to simply free them because that is a goo action.
The only word used for freeing for slaves tht is used when we are ordered to free slaves is raqab, plural riqaab. Those designated with that word are the only slaves that are mentionned in the Qur'an. The rest of the words translated as slaves are PLAIN WRONG. Why should freeing slavesbe restricted to that word if all slaves were meant?
Why should some slaes be freed and not others.
Interpreters and traslators of Qur'an have done a lot of mischief making things into what they are not.
Mamalakat ayman...is not slave, cannot be slave, it is persons who are dependent on other persons, that is in their charge, otherwise also expressed as pupils or wards. They are not slaves.
The only slaves inQur'an are as said, al riqab.
As to the mamalakat ayman, with which one is allowed sxual intimacy are those that are depedant BUT that someone intends to marry, those are the ones alluded to in 4.24, if after being made undependant they commit indecency, they will be awarded half punishment, which is logical because they come from a later start into self-responsibility.
This, are so plain... but the male elite outlook has managed to distort them to complete ridicule.

Peace Ju5.
You are not taking in what the brothers and sisters are saying to you.
Yet you gladly take "slaves" as translations to "Mamaakat Aymaanukum"? Why? "Mammalalakat Aymaanukum" can have many meanings ,It does not mean slave!!!!They already said in some verses you quoted ,slaves have not even been mentioned .Sister reel said that the translators are using the word slaves.. I can see that you are easily buying it.
Now,in 3355 the prophet s wives may have had helpers/workers/ servants to help with feeding and preparing for visitors,guests...
( Why should a translation of slaves fit in better?) etc.They were asked to be familiar with them like they are familiar with their families. i.e to relax their dress code around these people.Like brother Wakas said, Are you sincerely trying to understand Qoran ?
The bottom line is you have all these choices including slaves and free sex with them. You choose.
It is you alone who will decide whether to accept and learn/study Qoran or disregard it.
May GOD guide you and bless you.
Peace. -
Can you guys point out each verse that has that word and what you guys think is the appropriate translation without being so vague saying stuff like 'it can have many meanings'?
Ju5, I see where you're coming from.
Huruf, what about 'servant' ?
Reel, 'investigators' really ?
-
Brother Cyberus, I can also see where you are coming from.
But do you really believe "Mamalakat Aymaanukum" means slaves all the time?
Ju5 has already had few suggestions to the verses he quoted. If further clarification is required then a list can be given by Ju5 of all the verses that have the problem .We can proceed to give our take on them.
Of course you are also welcome to join the conversation.
D bless you.
Peace. -
@huruf what means wal-mu'antu in 424 ?
also where is your proof that sex is only allowed when you "intend to marry them" ? the quran states that you can marry them, but you dont have to, and that you can not guard your private parts with them, but it isnt written if the person must be married, in fact if he/she was married it would be a spouse?
CLARIFICATION the fact that this group of persons is made of slaves, servants, wards or whatever doesnt matter to me, im talking about extra marital relationships

?What? Where have I said that "that sex is only allowed when you "intend to marry them"? I have not said such a thing, and nowhere it is stated in the Qur'an that you can have sex reltion outside marriage, they are always meant as marriage. In aya 4.23 what do you understand, what what is forbidding or allowing you is non comittal sex? No, it is marriage. And if you do not mean marriage then it is forbiden.
What I meant to impress is that the term mamalakat ayman... when in connection with marriage means that those people so designed are dependent persons who you intend to marry, not persons with whom you have extramarital relationship. And that why it is allowed, you are lalowe dto marry them, it is a way of saying waives or husbands without actually using the word, the context gives the prper meaning.
walmuhsanat it is wa (and) al (the) muhsanaat (women with capacity of consent). Do not worry about the whole sentence because it is translated wrong more than 99% of the time, because they join this aya with the previous one and make it mean what they want to make it mean, that is, make poigamy allowed to males and prohibited to females. But the fact is that you cannot have the same word occurring several times int he same question and calling it each time whatever you fancy. No wonder the Qur'an at times looks like some entity from Saturn or beyond.

GL,
I really don't feel like getting involved in this thread, I just want to point out that the quranist take on that expression wasn't well explained here. A lot of non sense and garbage posts directed towards OP too.Also, as Wakas hinted, OP may or may not be a troll, but it doesn't mean anything because the general public has every reason to think of that word as 'slave' since it is the common understanding of it by sectarians. And if anyone want to correct him then they should do so. Of course, they need to be logical and as clear as possible.
Huruf, I simply asked if 'what your right hand possess'* could refer to 'servants' instead of 'slaves', since as you pointed out, riqab is closer to slave than 'ma malakat....' could possibly be.
(* the literal classical arabic translation of that expression.)

A thourough examination of all the occurrences of the words in the Qur'an does nto tell me tht it is servants but rather what I said, dependants, such as we understand them today. Also bear in mind the words themselves, what the right hand possesses is nto a person but a relationship with that person which is marked by the right hand. The right hnd in the Qur'an and in normal speech in many languages is the good hand, the benefical hand, tht which is done is the right hand is for good, not for selfish purposes but for generous purposes. You have a benefical relationship with those who are with you in it. Check yourself in the Qur'an itself and verify.
Of course, a mamalakar ay... may act as a serant, but as to the term it would be beside the point.
There are other terms for servants in Qur'an, like 3bd and others which I can't recall now.
