"Islam does not prohibit slavery  but retains it for two reasons. The first reason is war  (whether it is a civil war or a foreign war in which the  captive is either killed or enslaved) provided that  the war is not between Muslims against each other - it is  not acceptable to enslave the violators, or the offenders, if  they are Muslims. Only non-Muslim captives may be enslaved or  killed. The second reason is the sexual propagation of slaves  which would generate more slaves for their owner." (pp. 51,52)

Slavery seamlessly became a part of Islam, since it was widely practiced by the Arabs. Slavery is repeatedly approved in the Quran.

"Many slaves were prisoners of war, and all were non-Muslim. Slaves must frequently perform household work or fought in the military."

"The reason why Muslims had slaves is because when Islam was still weak and growing, the Arab Pagans' tribes used to launch continuous attacks on the Muslims to destroy Islam once and for all.  Muslims had entered many bloody and vicious battles against the non believers which had cost both sides many lives from the men.  When the Muslims used to enter a city after defeating its army, they would face a new dilemma.  They often meet hundreds of non believing women and young children and elderly left without any support because their men had died in the battle field.

For this reason, Allah Almighty allowed for the Muslims to take those people as slaves to help them survive."

"A master is not to treat his slaves contemptuously. He should feed and clothe his slaves adequately ; give them moderate, not excessive, work; and not punish them severely."
