The kafir are using it to paint religion islam as bad as of course they failed to separate religion from it bad people so I need to find good sides like good so I have more resources to defend against kafirs.
 
It is important not to conflate slavery in Islam with the transatlantic ‘slave trade’ that occurred in the 15-19th centuries. In Islam, there is an emphasis on emancipating slaves and slaves are to be treated with justice and kindness. As for what happened in the transatlantic slave trade where slaves were not even treated as human, there is a world of difference there.

Here are some threads that may he helpful:

Thread 'Slavery'

Islam came at a time when slavery was deeply entrenched in the society, so Islam worked towards the gradual elimination of slavery.
  • Islam encouraged the emanciplating of slaves; The Qur'an does so in many places:
    4:92, 5:89, 58:3, 90:13, 24:33, 9:60, 2:177, 2:221, 4:25, 4:36.​
    The Prophet said:
    "A person who frees a Muslim slave, Allah will deliver every one of his limbs from the fire of Hell in return for each of the limbs of the slave (Sahîh Bukhârî, and Sahîh Muslim)​

Islam and slavery
​

Q.I often hear Christian missionaries criticizing Islam and accusing it because Islam permitted slavery, and saying that this is a transgression against man’s freedom and rights. How can we respond to these people?.

A.Praise be to Allaah.

Discussing slavery and asking questions about it on the part of those who promote Christianity and try to divert people from following the religion of Islam is something that annoys the wise person and makes him point the finger of accusation towards the ulterior motives that lie...

ADMIN'S COMMENT: PLEASE DO NOT POST ANTI-ISLAMIC ARTICLES. REFER TO FORUM RULES.
 
I wouldn't waste time with those types of people. There are bad Muslims as well as bad Christians. We should however focus on modern slavery that is still done in some Islamic countries by bad people. That way, we can make our time worth while and save many of our brothers and sisters

I would add some comments.

One hadith says "The Prophet ordered us to free slaves at the time of solar eclipses".
Sahih al-Bukhari 2519, Book 49, Hadith 3


Quran 4:24-25 allows marriage to female captives, but one cannot marry already married women.

If slavery was morally wrong, why did Allah not simply prohibit Muslims from owning other human beings,
rather than encouraging owners to free them while continuing to permit the institution?

Encouraging the emancipation of slaves is not the same as abolishing slavery.

The answer becomes clearer if we do not rely on assumptions and consider different facets to the discussion. For example, slavery was not a unified phenomenon across the world throughout history, hence the example given above of the brutal transatlantic slave trade which was not the same as other forms of slavery. So to make any judgement of what is morally right or wrong, we need to first be clear on what is being referred to. Dr Jonathan Brown notes that slavery is something that every major religious and philosophical tradition (including Christianity) considered uncontroversial, until, at the very earliest, the 1700s. And it was not until the 1800s that the morality of slavery per se became a widely debated question. It is also important to understand the kind of societies that existed in the past and that if there was mass emancipation at a particular time, this may have caused more harm than good.

Have a look at the links and they might help provide more clarity.

Why did Muhammad order slaves to be released at solar eclipses?

Eclipses are signs from Allah سبحانه وتعالى and Muslims are taught to pray and perform other acts of worship during such times, such as giving charity and freeing slaves.
