Ok. Islam affirms that Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, created man fully accountable, and enjoined duties upon him, to which reward and punishment are connected on the basis of man’s free will and choice.
No human being has the right to restrict this freedom or take away that choice unlawfully; whoever dares to do that is a wrongdoer and oppressor.
This is one of the basic principles of Islam. When your question is asked: why does Islam permit slavery? the correct answer is ''what do you mean by slavery?'' Break it down exactly what does that mean? state the terms of service. Is a PoW a slave? What are the rules? Because the answer technically is actually yes as gruesome as that may sound but it is not what you're thinking, in reality is actually hell no, watch me break it down below with help from a friend online.
Examine the matter with fairness and with the aim of seeking the truth, and examine the details of the rulings on slavery in Islam, with regard to the sources and reasons for it, how to deal with the slave and how his rights and duties are equal to those of the free man, the ways in which he may earn his freedom, of which there are many in Islamic law, whilst also taking into consideration the new and evil types of ''slavery'' in this world(Roots type of slavery) which is pretending to be civilized, modern and progressive but is really just pure racism.
When Islam came about, the world already had many causes of slavery, such as warfare, debt (where if the debtor could not pay off his debt, he became a slave), kidnapping and raids, etc
still you do not find any text in the Qur’aan or Sunnah which enjoins taking others as slaves, whereas there are dozens of texts in the Qur’aan and the ahaadeeth of the Messenger which call for manumitting slaves and freeing them.
There were many sources of slaves at the time of the advent of Islam, whereas the means of manumitting them were virtually nil. Islam changed the way in which slavery was dealt with; it created many new ways of liberating slaves, blocked many ways of enslaving people, and established guidelines which blocked these means.
Islam limited the sources of slaves that existed before the beginning of the Prophet’s mission to one way only: enslavement through war which was imposed on kaafir prisoners-of-war and on their womenfolk and children. Thats it. No other way.
