26 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Does the Quran ban slavery, and what does 'what your right hand possesses' mean? The guest says the Quran abolishes slavery as the greatest crime, since owning a slave is to claim to be a rabb like Pharaoh, and that what the right hand possesses means contractual marriage. Mufti Abu Layth holds that slavery is abrogated through trajectory hermeneutics rather than by an explicit ban.

26 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth If the Quran abolished slavery, why is there no explicit verse saying so? The guest says rabb is used in the Quran only for God, so that owning a slave is shirk and la ilaha illa Allah is itself the abolition of slavery. Mufti Abu Layth notes that rabb has ordinary linguistic uses and that non-Muslims recorded Muslims as owning slaves.
