UNLAWFUL SEX WITH SLAVES - HOW MOST WOMEN FEEL - TO MUSLIMS - SLAVERY IN ISLAM - QU'RAN PROOFS!!!

AsalaamuAlaikumwaRahmatulahiwaBarakatu and Peace to the nonMuslims,
THE QURAN, Surah or Chapter Al-Muminun, The Believers, 23:5-6
"Who guard their private parts Except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (in their case) they are free from blame."

Nothing is wrong with the Arabic Qu'ran, but I think there is something seriously wrong with this translation. No translation should be worded in such a way as to make readers think that they can disobey Allah's other Verses and fornicate or commit adultery with slaves or those whom their right hand posses.
Why wasn't it translated to say:
"Who guard their private parts except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, which would also include in marriage (the captives) whom their right hands possess, for (in their case) they are free from blame." ?

Satan is VERY busy!

This is what Asad say's about this Verse for those who understand the Arabic language:
"[not giving way to their desires] with any but their spouses - that is, those whom they rightfully possess [through wedlock]: [Lit., "or those whom their right hands possess" (aw ma malakat aymanuhum). Many of the commentators assume unquestioningly that this relates to female slaves, and that the particle aw ("or") denotes a permissible alternative. This interpretation is, in my opinion, inadmissible inasmuch as it is based on the assumption that sexual intercourse with ones female slave is permitted without marriage: an assumption, which is contradicted by the Quran itself (see 4:3, 24, 25 and 24:32, with the corresponding notes). Nor is this the only objection to the above-mentioned interpretation. Since the Quran applies the term "believers" to men and women alike, and since the term azwaj ("spouses"), too, denotes both the male and the female partners in marriage, there is no reason for attributing to the phrase ma malakat aymanuhum the meaning of "their female slaves"; and since, on the other hand, it is out of the question that female and male slaves could have been referred to here it is obvious that this phrase does not relate to slaves at all, but has the same meaning as in 4:24 - namely, "those whom they rightfully possess through wedlock (see note on 4:24) - with the significant difference that in the present context this expression relates to both husbands and wives, who "rightfully possess" one another by virtue of marriage. On the basis of this interpretation, the particle aw which precedes this clause does not denote an alternative ("or") but is, rather, in the nature of an explanatory amplification, more or less analogous to the phrase "in other words" or "that is", thus giving to the whole sentence the meaning, "save with their spouses - that is, those whom they rightfully possess [through wedlock]", etc. (Cf. a similar construction 25:62 - "for him who has the will to take thought -that is [lit., "or"], has the will to be grateful".)] for then, behold, they are free of all blame,"

InshAllah we need new Qurans written by people who truly understand the English language, and who won't use terms like thither, whilst, ere, thou, and other old English terms that make it VERY difficult for most people to understand.

Here are a few links to very interesting and informative Video lectures on slavery:

THE BIBLE, Deuteronomy 20:10-15
10 When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. 11 If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. 12 If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. 13 When the LORD your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. 14 As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the LORD your God gives you from your enemies. 15 This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.

WaLaikumuSalaamwaRahmatulahiwa­Barakatu, MaashAllah! There you are!

The beginning of this video reflects the fear that women feel who are, or have been oppressed with lies and abuse.

I love you my dear Sister MaashAllah, and I am very happy to see your post!

I know that many Muslim men have never read nor studied The Quran for themselves, from cover to cover without skipping over anything, and that many Muslims repeat what they hear from their Scholars, Sheikhs, and Imams; that is one reason why Allah has made The Quran easy to understand, so that His Ummah would not be led blindly by misinformation and mistakes from others, but could also correct and remind our leaders InshAllah.

@shaheena101

AsalaamuAlaikumwaRahmatulahiwa­Barakatu! Ramadaan Mubaraak! :D Alhumdulilah for any effort that we make for Islam. :) MaashAllah you are very welcome!

Allah Knows Best, but I do believe that there ARE Believing Muslim men who put Allah's Final Decisions in The Quran above ALL other information. I also believe that the Believeing Muslim men realize that the Ummah will remain sick and weak until The Ummah returns to The Quran first and foremost.

@SaboorahAmatuRahmaan

I am sorry about that

Actually, it only has to do with the war captives, in this case it is the bosnian women, and how they have been treated by the serbs. So it is not directly related to slavery.

I actually remembered that subject when you mentioned women who have to cope with "ten faces, i,e, her grand sons, that remind her of the man who she hates, but she still has to love them"

That war happened in Yougoslavia in 99/2000 and the muslims were the genocide victims
