Re: Concubines

I dont fundamentally agree or disagree with AllahkaBanda's post but i must say he is being honest and not trying to be politically correct
there are a lot of gray areas here which are not entirely clear , things are complicated as many scholars dont want to debate this openly given the hostile envoirment against islam today.
let me research a little more and Inshallah I will post later
May God save us from falling into deviations and distortions regarding islam
I only said what Islamic text--Qur'an and Sahih Sunnah--tells us and correct scholarly understanding of the matter. I do not understand why there is a need to be "politically correct" regarding this issue because the rights that Islam gives to slaves, men and women, are far superior than the rights which ancient times or modern era give to slaves. Islam, from Adam (AS) till Prophet (Peace be upon him) never started slavery. Humans introduced wars and so the slavery came into existence. Why do people always end up blaming Islam for something which humans started. Islam rather helped humans by improving the conditions of slaves. Wars are inevitable and so is slavery.
My friend there is no gray area. The rights of a concubine in regard to sleeping with her master are the same as that of a wife, meaning she can't be rapped and neither she can refuse her master's request without a legitimate shriah excuse.
Note: when I say slaves, I mean prisoners of war. Here, people have mixed up the idea of slavery. In Islam slavery is not selling poor people or hearing servants etc. Slavery in Islam refers to **prisoners**** of war.
