slavery was not abolished like wine was prohibited. that is true. perhaps slavery was too much inter-woven into that society. So steps were taken to gradually do away with this.
1) So much emphasis was laid on freeing slaves. Freeing slave is made one of the prime good deeds.
2) Restriction was placed that you cannot take slaves other than POWs as a result of an armed conflict.
3) Even for the POWs, two options were laid down after the war is over
a) Free them as a favor
b) Free them for ransom
So from the above, it becomes clear that NO new slaves can be taken into permanent bondage

This provision of free or ransom was only for earlier conflicts like Badr ...have you read any Seerah or futuhat history that was clearly not the case
^ quote the names of those sahabas. they must have married those women. if sex with slave girls was valid then why Quran talked about marrying slaves. ??

Lol you want me to list quarter of the names in Isaba.
just see hadith of abu Saeed khudri ra, Jabir b abdullah ra and buraida aslami ra in Bukhari and Muslim for starters
You can marry slaves and free women yes but there is no difference to kids from them but their legal status as captives free women is different
^ Did you see women in marketing, begging business? some can give personal cell numbers to get the deal. that is how you have empowered women.

this is questionable stuff. people overlook the holy book and look here and there to support their crocked beliefs
This is so true. Actually, many people who consider themselves enlightened and try to enlighten others are not aware of basic source i.e. Quran. On other side, religious lots faith is so fragile that it can not dare to tell people that there are thousands fabricated ahadees and you will even find some ahadees in sahah satta which contradict Quran.

My argument is that Islam founded modern employment methods by giving slaves rights though it kept the same name the essence of Islamic slavery is equivalent to employment without the salary payment. What then happened after that is rather than abolishing old slavery - it just existed anyway. The mention of slaves in our scriptures should be taken to mean employees without a salary. No huge difference if you want to assess Islamic injunctions accurately.
psyah bhai-- I differ on this. Employment predated Islam and slavery was quite different from what employment meant even in that time. Even there was a distinction between servants and slaves.
To equate slavery with employment is like missing the forest for the trees.
You have an audience - Go on … please define to me the archaic definitions of employee, servant, slave and free person and provide me texts that I can read that demonstrate that fact.
