- In 1842CE, the British Consul General in Morocco wrote a letter to the Sultan to ask him if he had taken any measures to stop slavery or at least, slave trade. The sultan replied that he will not do anything about it because it has been the norm since the time of the sons of Adam and no sects of Islam are against it. Hence, he will not permit anything the Qur’an forbids and will not make unlawful anything that the Qur’an has allowed. In the Sultan’s reply, we see the simplest justification or at least, excuse, for almost 1300 years of slavery in the Islamic world.

Due to the rigorous efforts of Somalis on this channel and my Facebook and my Instagram and my Discord, I have to clarify that my source does not state (neither do I, in the video) that it was ethnic Somalis who were enslaved in large volume. There are various ethnic groups in Somalia and it might have been meant towards another group, specifically, Somali Bantus. My apologies for the confusion.
The Somali people embraced Islam willingly before the majority of Arabs due to the initial emigration of the first generation of Muslims out of Mecca into Abyssinia unlike Muslims in Pakistan or India who became Muslim through being enslaved and conquered by the Persian Mughals. Secondly, Somalis were never enslaved. Ethnic Somalis were part of the slave trade as slavers themselves, capturing peoples from modern day Tanzania and Mozambique who now constitute the Bantu population. There were also slaves of South Asian and Portuguese descent in the Sultanate of Mogadishu and the Somali Ajuraan Empire during the medieval period.

good job finally admitting you were wrong kiddo
Man this somaliss are liers , somaliss ethiopeans modern day eastern Africa or horn of Africa where either surrender and accepted they saved themself from slavery by becoming next to the throne , untill today they are next to the Arabs , Arabia and increasing number , not only them Egypt north Africa and all of them. Thank u for ur effort and thank u but u didn't mention the slaves for America's who started it was by British or European or Arabs , and what do u mean by arab ?? Because we are not Arabs originally but if I say my country u will consider it . And that if it's a language , because so many Europeans and north American are so into calling everyone Arab
@@anasbaker5304 do you have any evidence?
@@anasbaker5304 somalis were not enslaved. Conspiracy theory don't equate to historical facts.
Modern slavery still exits today. Unfortunately this is ignored by too many nations.
Modern slavery? You mean regular jobs?

This particular subject is not taught in schools, just the transatlantic European salvery. This is just as important.
My class learned only about the slaves brought from the Balkans and mentioned this in passing
I grew up in a European country which resorted to slavery and it is not like this was not covered in the textbooks.
The sultan did not read the Qur'an... It says free the slave's!!!
It's not relevant to the American experience.
Yes as an Arab , I feel an obligation to learning and showing other Arabs the mistakes of the past that we may not repeat them.
As an Ethiopian we have always known this and resisted as much as we can.
The legacy of this period of time lives on today. Observe any interaction between an ethnic Arab and any person that isn't white.
Good on you, cheers from France
we didn’t resist we flat out conquered south arabia and enslaved arabs stop making us victims
@@ephemeraljaunt That invasion was before Islam though.
Slavery was legal in Ethiopia all the way up to the 2nd Italian invasion.
In college, a Saudi Arabian classmate told me the Arabs actually started the African slave trade. I was shocked because I was only taught about the European slave traders and owners.
Thank you for this lesson.
actually arabs enslaved every one even we enslaved each other lol
I only found out about
the Arab Slave Trade only a few years ago. I think both Europe and the Middle East should be held accountable.
Illa Hilda Sissac, and Africans, too. During wars between tribes, the CONQUERING tribe enslaved the CONQUERED tribe and sold them to the Arabs and Europeans.
I believe EVERYONE should be taught THE TRUTH, acknowledge what happened, apologize, and work hard to treat each other better.
@@mr_hadar8626 As did Africans and Europeans.
bruh so many islamophobs in this comment section. they literary came to spread hate against arab/muslim/islam. they don't have other job actually. they can't sleep or eat without hating arab/muslim/islam.
As an Arab myself, this is a topic we must discuss and come to terms with. Sugarcoating or suppressing the parts of our history that we don't like will not help advance as a civilization and people. Yes it is a shameful part of our history, but we can either run from it or learn from it.
this video is filled with fake stories anyway
@theworld lol, so much ignorance.
ISLAM is the only religion that spread by peaceful means like preaching and without violence and force-converstaions. the proofs for that are very apparent and simple most of muslim-majority areas are areas that were never invaded by a muslim force/army. muslim armies never went into places like south east asia (where the biggest muslim communities on the planets is) and africa (except for the northern coasts
which were invaded by muslim armies). therefore, there has never been an authority or force that could have forced the people to convert to islam in all those areas. but you can still find the biggest muslims populations in these area, which proves that people converted to islam easily without anybody forcing them,
because there had been no muslım authority that could have forced the people to convert to anything. moreover, even in those areas which were conquered by the muslims
and which were under islamic rule, the non-muslim people there could freely
practice their religion without any problems. the proof for that is also very apparent and simple: areas like the middle east had been under muslim rule for about 1400 years, yet you can see 14 million christians in the middle east, who
have been living with muslims under muslim rule for 1300 years. apparently, nobody has
force-converted them or their ancestors to islam, nor has anybody expelled them or massacred
them. that clearly showes that islam was not spread by the sword, because
othwerwise there would not have been a single Arab who would have remained a Christian. even the ancient christian churches (like the old coptic egypitan
churches that are up to 1600 years old) are still standing without damage, after been under under muslim rule for 1400 years. nobody had destroyed them or damaged them.
also the non-muslim historian De Lacy O'Leary said in the book "Islam at the
cross road" (Page 8)
"History makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping
through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myth that historians have ever
repeated."
or other hisotrians like JAMES A. MICHENER says:
"No other religion in history spread so rapidly as Islam.. The West has widely believed that this surge of
religion was made possible by the sword. But no modern scholar accepts that idea, and the Qur'an is explicit in support of the freedom of conscience."/SLAM
THE MISUNDERSTOOD RELIGION, READERS DIGEST (Amorican Edition)
May 1955
EDWARD GIBBON: "The greatest success of Mohammed's life was effected by sheer moral force without the stroke of a sword." H/STORY OF THE SARACEN
EMPIRE, London, 1870
A. S. TRITTON: "The picture of the Muslim soldier advancing with a sword in
one hand and the Qur'an in the other is quite false " ISLAM, London, 1951, p. 21
in fact, the muslims are not even allowed to force any to islam. because the Quran says
"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error" [AI-Qur'an 2:256]
the islamic caliphates were very tolerant towards non-muslim minorities and even granted them benefits from the islamic social system, treated them equally
and allowed them to judge with their own christians and jewish laws when they had issues amongst themselfes (note: the islamic system is the only system in history that allows other religious minorities to judge with their own respective laws in court. No other system has ever granted such a high level of tolerance to other minorities). morevoer, the islamic world was always a place of refuge for
minorities that were persecuted by other nations. minorities, especially the jews, fled always to islamic lands (usually to islamic spain, north africa or the ottomen empire) after they were persecuted especially by the european. in islamic lands
he jews and other minorites were protected and lived in peace, to such an extent, that the jews experienced their so called "golden age" under the islamic sharia law in al andalus. even today those former european jews have communities in north africa (most jews migrated to the jewsh state after it was
establi shed on palestinian soil)
But unfortunately, most other religions were spread mostly by violence, like
ashoka who spread buddhism by killing several hundred of thousands, or
chnstianity that were spread outsi de of europ, by the crusader wars (6 million
people killed) and during the european colonial era (hundred of millions of people
killed)
@theworld dude how can you be so dishonest. You're like a stone with a predetermined opinion, not wiling to accept facts. i have shown clear proves for my claims while you loser haven't shown any evidences just random claims without any backings. with such an attitude, you will always be sad and loser in your life, iA
sieg fried, iA false. After Prophet Muhammad died, many of his followers apostasized. It took Caliph Abu Bakr the “Ridda Wars” to regain all the apostates and their territories, go read about it.
People only tend to forget that it would be very likely for the West to trade in slaves and have slaves if it weren't for the industrialisation, which in turn could't have happened of it weren't for the wealth Europe got from the atlantic slave trade
Arabs: had the largest slave in history.
Anti-British people: I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that.
-Victimhood LARP
what?
The Trans Atlantic slave trade moved MORE people in LESS time than the Arabia/Turk/Persian slave trade
Doesn't wash away the British sins. What arabs did was shameful and disgusting.
@@shoaibrizno one is denying the West engaged in slave trade. We have dozens of books written on the matter. There are many movies made on the subject as well. How many of those you have on the Arab Slave Trade.
i’m Arab and studying about this in my uni. i knew that slavery existed in the Arab world and modern slavery still do exist in here and many other countries. but i definitely didn’t know that it was bigger then the transatlantic trade it’s shameful. i think there is a lot of problems in our modern society but i see change in the new generation. i know that most of the region doesn’t have time to develop but people who are privileged to have education ( like myself) should have responsibility to share this information with our community and i do hope they start teaching this in schools.
I salute your honesty; coupled with your integrity.
Great realization!! This is what will make Arab countries peaceful and proposer with or without oil.
There where slavery but i don't think it was as big as transatlantic trade
@@MohamedAhmed-qb8dw It was bigger than transatlantic slavery. In fact Arabs supplied into the transatlantic slavery.
@@dollartreeshark6786 Given that the arab slave trade was around longer that doesn't say much. The Atlantic slave trade did a lot and came close despite being around less long. Humans can suck regardless of race.
given this history, blacks in the US converting to islam as a token protest to US's history of slavery is kind of funny
You're right. It's just pure ignorance.
Yes, it is my opinion that blacks that converted to Islam were brainwashed, but their conversion was less the result of lack of knowledge of history, but rather their personal experience at the hands of European/American Christians.
We failed in our duty to treat them as brothers so they went to worship God elsewhere.
To their credit, they still chose God since atheism and paganism were not valid options.
@@Bakr-bv3id
He was the first muezzin in Islam. I saw his story in an animated film in HBO. Interesting history.

@ja ka , you numpty. Is that why they still chop peoples heads off in the markets, without trial.
Majority of people in the Arab world know it existed but most of them believe it ended once Islam came to light and will RARELY admit to the atrocities this involved. Glad this video exists.

@tokii hikoo Allah bless you Brother!
@tokii hikoo i think you dont even know your own country history. Your country was living a peaceful life, citizens happily following their Culture until the Islam conquest,, the religion of peace , do you like how that place is today? You were not arabs, go and search for your ancestral origin,,,they arabized you and you lost your identity. Now youre living a life of another country, Saudi while they are enjoying oil and hajj money, you are praying in hunger. If you dont know history, try to read. Im a student of knowledge both Islam and science. If you doubt arab enslaving Africa, go and read on the Zanj rebellion in 871 AD in Basra, Iraq. Arabs treatment of Black slaves were different from White slaves, they castrated most of the males and made them to be bathing royals and some working in mosques. Saudi Arabia stopped slave bussiness in 1967, under pressure from great Britain, another slave masters. We cannot bury our dirty past with lies, we can only learn from it, So that we dont repeat such mistakes. Islam makes you feel everybody hates you, but it isnt True. It makes you think People that leave the religion are evil People, some leave for genuine reasons, for identifying that something is wrong. Im not replying in anger whatsoever, just want you to ponder upon this, look at the world today. Do you think if everybody was a muslim, everyone Will be happy? Life Will be good for everyone? Today, When muslims are being attacked in their countries, they dont go to the giant oil Nations like Saudi etc, they Rush to Europe. Think about that. Saudi is doing bussiness with the religion, and that should tell you where that religion is steming from, all the practices that were happening in pagan era is being practiced by you today, but because of the deceit Allah is the god of Abraham, its seen to be normal but its pagan practice. Abraham never did those things, Alsarfa and marwah are never signs of Abraham God,, they a male and female deities Who had sex in that place and were cursed into Mountains, at the pagan era,,.. please i entreat you to read, seek knowledge, dont get angry with my reply, im a peaceful person. Work Hard and make life better for yourself and People, it all begins with education, because education is medication...
I have even more respect towards you for doing a good job on a touchy subject as this.
You didn't mention any male castration of African slaves which was very common. This is well documented. Seems like you have left out this detail on purpose for whatever reason. I do not belive this was a mistake due to quailty of the video. The video is very informative, and well made, great job.

As a Somali im embarrased to see Somalis defending what arabs did saying that it never happened its very shamefull
Isn’t the reason there are Bantus in Somalia is by of slavery?
@@starestairs5090 Somalis are not the ones who brought them there it was the arabs and the arab Somalis
The reason why the American slave trade even happened was because there are already established "markets" for slaves, there is also a misconception that Medieval Europe didn't have slaves or that they had many well not really, its not that they had any problems owning people its just that Christians are excluded and because slaves are just not economically viable at the time. (you have to feed, house and keep them mildly healthy which is kinda expensive for the time only when the Americas was discovered and the plantations built was when the costs became managable even Profitable to Europe.)
Very similar to the black conservatives in America that’s interesting 🤔
They have been bewitched by the hatred in Koran. Maybe they should watch David Woods and apostate prophet videos to find out how Mohammad didn't give a damn about dark skins lol.
They love Arabs more They love their Africans roots.
Too bad
The Arab slave trade is the longest slave trade of all time still today slavery exist in Arab countries
Yet the European Trans Atlantic slave trade moved MORE people in LESS time, and slavery is still legal in the US
Your arrogance is unmatched but European slave trade was more harsher since they had no mortality compared to muslim slave system
Almost every country has dealt in slavery in history, either being them or owning them.
It's sadly a part of human history.

True! But people here are stuck blaming white people today for slavery when all races did it, along with taking down historic statues/vandalizing monuments. Just a gaslight to more racial tensions.
@@jaymedina76 hey man, what I want to add. You should not try to cure whole world. Better cure yourself. If you do not support slavery. Then, wether any sky book say it is right. You won't follow it. That's it.
So white people sold other white people into slavery? The Vikings raided settlements in France, Britain, and Ireland and also demanded tributes of slaves from the Eastern Slavic communities in Russia and Finnish farming communities...hence the word slave from the Slavic. So when someone states,”well black people sold their own people,”couldn’t it also be said that white people sold their own? I never liked it when some tried to justify that practice... well you sold your own. As if that should make it alright and somehow lessen the culpability of those engaging in this practice. Wrong is wrong no matter who does it.

Schools need to add this to the curriculum. It should be taught prior to European slavery and colonization of most of Africa. I'm African born and raised and even to this day, middle eastern countries have modern ways of slavery through kafala
Its already taught in most east african and middle eastern schools, its just not taught in european/american schools since it never affected them in any way to teach it.
@@MohammedAlBaraka middle eastern schools in what countries? I have numerous friends from Lebanon, Kuwait, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and not a single one knew about the topic. And I have raised the topic with pretty much everyone I know since I'm east african.

@@MohammedAlBaraka yeah right it's taught in east Africa more
Exactly what is the modern way of slavery??? Explain it to me???
Thank you for bringing up this topic. As a Muslim, I am appalled by the way Muslim preachers condemn the transatlantic slave trade and completely forfeit the similarity atrocious Arab slave trade. Even more appalling was the attitude of Muslim scholars in the past 2 centuries against the abolition, claiming slavery is a God sanctioned institution. We need to stand up and acknowledge our past wrongdoings to protect our future.
The Arab slave trade was the longest and most brutal. Still today in every Arab gulf countries the Rich can own a Black person as a house slave they just call them house maids or house help to make it sound better
@@lillyo4119 This is false. I lived in the Arabian Gulf and most domestic workers were not black but Filipino followed by Indians. They are deprived of many rights yet they are definitely not slaves and are given wages for work.
The Arab slave trade flourished after these people were exiled from Spain. The US slave trade flourished when these same people arrived in New Amsterdam, now called New York.
@@4hm3dhm I absolutely agree brother. A lot of muslims are in denial, claiming false info or even Islamophobia as soon as something they don't know about that is bad is brought up. Most muslims I know never even heard about the first fitna and the battle of the camel, let alone the Arabic slave trade.
They are afraid to learn, not thinking that if people like the quraysh were afraid to learn too back then, Islam never would have spread.
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

The sad thing is to see millions of blacks getting down on their knees and facing Mecca to worship the God of the people who enslaved them and sell them right there, their most holy shrine. These blacks have no shame and regards to the suffering and the brutalization of their ancestors. We also have black doing the same thing kneeling down to Rome and worshipping the God of the people who enslaved them long after the Arabs. Their black ancestors must look down and weep at this madness.
The fact that that you call them 'these blacks' rather than the 'african community' gives you no right to address the problem
@@small_mak6942 Shameful is shameful, no matter the word you use. Worshipping the Gods of the people who enslaved your ancestors is just shameful.
I’m from Morocco and unfortunately non of this is being taught in schools. Unfortunately cities like Marrakech, Fez and Essaouira were big slave markets. The derogatory term in Tamazight for a black person is Assouki (“of the market”) and that term is still used today.

@Konshen Codialwale maybe try to check with the historical and museums department in Tanzania or try to find Prof. Chami in Tanzania, i don't know for certain.

God bless the African race for what they had to bear. I am appalled by the way they were treated by Arabs and then the west. It seems the Africans have been treated terrible everywhere they have gone. I don't understand hate or cruelty. Unimaginable... let God take care of evil doers.
Understand Africans also enslaved
I wanted to say as an Ethiopian even tho we weren’t a part of this arab slave trade mentioned in this video this is truly disgusting.most of western slavery is portrayed in media but what the Arabs did a lot of ppl don’t know about. How truly disgusting they were.And that they don’t wanna talk abt it and just push it under the rug is even more disgraceful.
The annoying thing is that many Arabs today seek to diminish of outright deny the existence of this slave trade because of the fact that such slavery was explicitly condoned in the Quran. They are too religious and are unwilling to face this uncomfortable truth.
There is word for it today if you talk about it. Its called ☪️ phobia. It's a psychological thing, where one looks good as long the evils of others are focussed on rather oneself.
The word is used to shut up people who bring light on the sins of mankind as a whole for healing.
On the contrary it sits quietly in the dark and strips of human out of humanity by propagating and supporting all kinds of victim hood to appease all in order to look good by not bringing light on one's own sins.
Actually y’all were involved and were captured by Somali jihadist during the slave trade
Ummm Ethiopian we’re also apart of this slave trade. Just like the Somalis and Swahili Africans.
Why talk about it? Ok we talk about it now what?
Everyone enslaved others at one point, why keep talking about it?
Finally someone is telling about the Arab slave trade, i'm from South Sudan so i definitely know about this it's a shame that African Muslims mostly don't feel confrontable with HISTORY because of who did it.
Slavery wasn't targeted for black people
It was targeted for everyone
Europeans too from spain prob
Arabs wherent Racist like the Europeans
Arabs took everyone
3000000~ where white
Of course black people where more because you they where closer to get
Just go south and you will find Black people
@G. Galeev yes so Arabs aren't racist
@Nazim Dean arabs slavery commonly known by muslim since slavery happened way before islam and it's mentioned in quran and one of prophet companion bilal is an ex slave
@@imcloud305 That's a huge misrepresentation. Both the European and Arab slave trade (but I'll also cover other Muslims) were based on religion, initially at least. However, prices varied along races. E.g. white women were significantly worth more than other women, bonus points for blue eyes or blond and red hair. Arabs mostly had slaves from Africa, Turks mostly from Europe and Berbers from both. Muslims just couldn't be slaves. Just like in Europe Christians couldn't be slaves. Of course due to Europeans building global empires they came across non-muslims of certain skin colours too. First of them were Amerindians, who they also enslaved. But 90% of them died due to smallpox. In other words they had massive amounts of land, but lacked labour and there weren't enough European migrants. But on the other side of the Atlantic in West-Africa they had abother problem. See, the region haf been very instable for some time and warlords only had 1 thing in abundance. People. Just what Europeans needed. And what did they give? Weapons, but also food and luxury items.
But Europeans also enslaved East Asians, Indians. In other words... Europeans also enslaved everyone (who wasn't christian). Later in the US, due to the status quo of most blacks being slaves and most whites not, the concept of slavery became racialized and inevitably people started applying this to their entire lives - something that also happened in Arab civilization by the way, just to a lesser extent. Religion remained important though. The reason Europeans decided to mess up the Barbary pirates was because they enslaved Christians, not white people.
So, Arabs aren't racist unlike Europeans... what a statement. Mostly because the little evidence you gave to why that would be the case is flawed. Meaning it's a racist statement or an ignorant one.
About where the Arabs/Muslims got their slaves from in Europe. The entire Mediterrean coast line (Spain, France and Italy were raided quite a lot), but the Barbary pirates even went up all the way tot the UK, Flanders, The Netherlands...
The Turkish mostly from the Balkans and Eastern Europe. The Turkish were mostly interested in sex slaves.
African muslims also traded slaves. In fact slave trade was universal. Most buyers were Arabs, but a lot of traffickers came from Africa itself, looking to get rich.
But yet Islam gets the almighty free card out of the slavery blame some how. Get that one.
Slavery has been practiced throughout ancient times lol
The Qur'an only permits slavery of war captives. The Qur'an also says that Muslims cannot be the instigators of war. So I'm not sure what this Sultan is on about. The entire Islamic expansion was in violation of the Qur'an. Most Muslims dont follow Qur'an, they follow Hadith. The Hadith are in compatible with the Qur'an. The Qur'an claims to be complete and contain all the info you need. It says not to believe in hadith. There are even hadith saying not to follow hadith. Modern day Islam is a joke.
BLM wouldn't dare riot in Muslim countries as it wouldn't be tolerated.
Because they only stoped enslaving when they submitted to Islam. Once submitted and monopolised on religion who’s left to complain.
Islam slave trade is totally different from Arab and American slave trade
this needs to be taught in schools. “Those Who Do Not Learn History Are Doomed To Repeat It."
We are repeating it. Islam is at the gates of Vienna and beyond and the 'west' has open arms.
That would offend a certain "minority group"...
Repeat it? Arab slave trade still exists
I remember reading a pro-Muslim article that said that slavery in the Islamic world was not so oppressive and that it treated its subjects with dignity. what a joke
Lmao slavery is slavery doesn't matter if you treat ur slave with kindness it's still an ethical offense
They are always like this in self denial they make themselves look like innocent and victim after doing all kind of sh!ts...but history never lies lol their countries are still going throw same Barbary like of past just in modern world it gained more criticism
you should read about the kind of slavery that was going on in pre-islamic arabia, not to mention child sacrifices
@@env0x ofc bro like shifting the blame on pre islamic arabia ever justifies your era's own wrong doings
Obvious bad actors throughout history, despite the Qur'an actually encouraging breaking chains. You can call yourself Muslim, Christian, etc, but your actions matter more. It's also likely that prisoners of ear, who could work for their freedom, were often treated similarly as slaves by the Umayyads and their successors.
The quality on these videos is INCREDIBLE. Don't know how you do it. Absolutely terrific!
quality is good but information was all wrong. completely missed the facts about the great Islamic west African empires. the fact that east africans were themselves muslims before many arabs.
@@kopend8638 the way it was narrated you can tell the narrator, or its sponsor had a motive behind this video.
There is no denying that Arabs played an integral role in the proliferation of slavery, but this practise was widely adopted by ALL people around the known world, this included our African brothers., or Europeans of that matter.
I am glad that the Europeans worked together to remove slavery from the world. However, don't allow it to distract you from the fact that the Europeans were heavily involved with it themselves.
@Ummer Farooq how about our Arab folk? What did they "create" with their involvement of slavery?
Europeans and Arabs were both major players in it, anyone that deny that are just plain right stupid.
That was an excellent whistle-stop tour through 1400 years of history. Our school & university history in Europe is extremely Euro-centric so we don't get to know too much about Arabic & African power struggles prior to 19th century colonialism.

@@maximusproliferus3633 None taken, because your comment is rather ridiculous. Were the Romans irrelevant? Was the Catholic Church - which they effectively created in the fourth century - irrelevant? Were the Crusaders in the Levant irrelevant? Were the Portuguese and Spanish incursions into the spice trade and the Americas irrelevant? The Europeans did not simply arrive on the world stage like horsemen marauding across the steppes. Early reformations in religion, politics, agriculture and the sciences all eventually contributed to relatively stable, relatively democratic societies embracing free-thinkers. These long processes gave the Europeans the "overnight" impact you allude to.
I keep coming back to this video cuz there is so much work and information put into it. fantastic job

most of the moors were black, you should know that most of the slavery they and the Arabs did was not based on “race” like the trans Atlantic slave trade.

The arab world doesn't exist moron. It was financed by the british and french. Berbers aren't arabs.
while freeing a slave was a good deed and way of repentance, the slave economy and the use of slaves was too benefical not for arabs or muslims but for everyone.

Btw, in 500 years the Transatlantic Slave Trade moved more people than the 1600 years of the Arab slave trade
No it didn't. It is estimated that Arabs enslaved between 13-18 million Africans. Of course there were very few records of this slave trade and some scholars estimate an even higher number. The trans-Atlantic slave trade moved roughly 12 million. Stop spreading lies.

Moroccan slavers and Barbary pirates took a masive number of WesternEuropean slaves to work in the Maghrib (including slave raids into Europe). 3. There was an enormous number of Ukrainian and Caucasian slaves sold into the Ottoman Empire. 4. The Persians captured Georgians as slaves and bought African slaves. 5.

Afro-Morrocan communities as well. Such as Ikelan (bella) and the Harratin (and another one but i forget the name) who are slave descendants from Sub-Sahara Africa

Rascal von Manor what do you mean ? Dont understand the question ?
Rascal von Manor the term « Moor » or « Mauro » in spanish/portuguese comes from Moor Akush ( Marra-kech) which means the ´Land of God’ in berber language. When spain was under their rule, the berbers/arabs rulers would introduce themselves as being from « Moor Akush » the land of god... thats why spanish associated this term with brown people. It was used by spanish people later to describe people from north Africa. Negro means black in Spanish... But the moors were not blacks as Afro Americans tend to believe. Just go to any museum in Morocco and you’d see the truth with your own eyes.

The taking of slzves is permitted in the quran and hadiths and islamic scholars agree it is permitted under sharia.
Slavery is permitted in the Quran, as it is in the Bible, but I don't think most Islamic scholars would agree that it is permitted under sharia. From what I understand, most mainstream schools of Islamic thought do mental gymnastics to conclude that actually Islam forbids slavery.
Arabs had slaves of their own race too, so it isnt that bad as the white slave traders. Saudi Arabians are Hella brown too.
@@serious_killer1653It was the Muslim slave traders who sold the slaves to the "Whites" so how is it you think the western slave traders are worse? we was only trading in slaves for 300 years but muslims traded in slaves for 1400 years and they still are.
@@ianofliverpool7701 First of all, don't say "white". Just name whatever country or institution you are talking about. "White people" are not a monolithic and it would be absurd to group Russia and Britain and equally complicit in the slave trade just because they were mostly white people.
Secondly, it wasn't necessarily Muslims selling slaves to the Europeans in the Atlantic slave trade. The slaves were mostly purchased in West Africa, which had large Muslim, Christian and polytheist populations.
And your final point is another example of lumping all "white" or "brown" people together.
You can't say the "Muslims" did slavery for 1000 years and they "white" people only did it for 300 years. That doesn't make sense. Slavery was widespread throughout Europe during the Roman empire and even after the Church largely abolished slavery, the Scandanavians and Baltic peoples still engaged in slavery until around 1200 ad.
That's the problem with overinclusivity. This applies to the Muslim world as well, because the Muslim world wasn't a monolith. It was made up of different nations, some of which didn't engage in slavery.
This Arab slavery was far longer lasting and more brutal than when the Europeans did it
according to the historian Olivier Pétré-Grenouilleau Europeans killed between 80 and 110 millions africans during colonialism and according to the historian Ronald Segal Arabs slavery mad between 1,6 millions and 2 millions dead africans
I'm just surprised that none of the well-established media has sought to make a more detailed documentary on this important part of our history.
One of the most important of the time was child slavery; Caucasians or white children were paid as a tribute from 6 to 12 years old and this was going on for hundreds of years.
Well, the reason why slavery is racialized and emphasized so much was due to a disinformation compain from the Frankfurt school, which manufactured the convoluted narrative that is so common in the west today.
define slavery first because the world of today knows slavery through the lens of western brutal slavery of Africans and only of Africans but with Arabs and Ottomans it wasn't about a race or a color and it wasn't even harsh it was just like today's any normal job. so when we hear about slavery we think of western brutal slavery. in Muslims many slaves have Emperors of mighty Muslim Empires so can you give such example from anywhere else in the world
ISLAM GOT NITHING TO DO WITH this ... NOTHING WHAT SO EVER .... NATIVE ARABS AS WELL AS THEY ARE FAAR A WAY FROM THIS IGNORANT ACUSATION

@@zaroonyakhyakhan4514 It is possible, some ancient texts talk about that.
These children were well treated, and they had everything until a certain age after which they became part of the empire’s army.
However, the history tells us that the eastern invasion - Mongols, Tatars, etc.- was much worse than Europe or Middle Est have ever seen. These people were not interested in slaves, just wealth. I believe it would be quite interesting to see some documentary about it, no?

Do you mean the Turkish and Circassian Mamluk slaves who took over the rule of Egypt after the death of Najm al-Din Ayyub their master, or what do you mean who are the slaves who became emperors
As an English man I found this very interesting. I learnt things of which I was not previously aware.
It appears that the whole world has a responsibility for slavery, certain more than others.
As long as we have learned something and can continue to forge a future all together then maybe there is hope for humankind....
@Ummer Farooq thanks for your response, I spoke to a friend of mine who is Moroccan and he confirmed that this is actually true, however it is not something that people like to discuss in Morocco.
@Ummer Farooq sorry but I don't understand your response.
After your first response I was interested to find out more and did actually speak to my friend Abdeslam who is from Morocco. He said it is a part of history they prefer to forget.
If you choose not to believe me then that is your choice, I am only repeating what my friend said.
@Ummer Farooq I think there has been a misunderstanding somewhere, I asked my friend if it was true that people from north Africa where part of the slave trade to which he said yes and confirmed it was prior to the european and American slave trade. He also explained that people from north Africa sold slaves to European countries.
My friend only left Morocco a few years ago and I trust him with my life, so have no reason to disbelieve him.
As for the content of the video itself I do not know how true the content is or is not.
I was just interested in finding out more information for myself and felt my friend was best placed to help answer my questions.
@Ummer Farooq you're right he is not 500 years old but he is an extremely well educated man and is aware of his history.
For whatever reason you choose to believe that it is not true, that is your choice.
I as an English man am aware of the part played by the English in slavery and do not agree with it in any way.
You as we all do have the right to believe what we want.
One final point I am extremely offended that you would criticise my friend, who you do not know, nor are you aware of his background or education or his ability to respond to the questions I asked.

you forgot to mention that unlike European slave owners, the Arab ones had their black slaves castrated, it was usually done by Egyptian Copts, castration was effectively genocide.

@@peterikpah8884 No ,most somalis acknowledge they are black. A couple somalis act weird online and pretend they aren't. But somalis I dont think were enslaved historically.
Islam gave guidelines to treat the slaves. Its not the fault of the religion that the late followers did messed up things. The prophet Muhammad pbuh has saud clearly what is right and what is wrong. The Almighty is not at fault for these messed up humans
If Islam was true, it should have abolished it altogether and not par take / profit from it along with other societies. "Everybody did that" was not a justification for "why you did it", especially when you claim the religion is for all times present and future !!!
@Trinty destroyer Whether christianity true or not has no relevance here
@Trinty destroyer Yes, Christianity isn't true either and it also condones slavery.
The problem is that the majority of Muslims today believe the Quran to be an infallible document, the literal unedited word of an all knowing, all powerful omnibenevolent being. There is no way to reconcile this belief with the Quran's position on slavery without coming to the conclusion that slavery is morally permissible. This is a big problem.
Christians have largely moved on from, especially in the West. The Bible is seen as document with many mistakes and errors and some people will just write off whole books as metaphorical.
@@Human-bq1jd Why dodge him. Just agree
Thanks for this. You have begun to fill in a lot of holes concerning slavery overall.
Harsh... basically the Europeans stopped it
Yes. In Europe, a lot of writers advocated against it but in the Middle East, not really. It was the Europeans who put pressure on Islam countries to abolish it. Some countries even now practice it but secretly.
Europeans took to Americanas
It's because during colonial times, arabs became centuries behind western europe, arabs were no longer their older selves during the golden age and had become weak and controlled by Turks. Western europe on the other hand, were the first to the americas which was huge and catapulted them in front of everybody else.
like they never did it they enslaved africans and clonised killed many natives in africa and changed their cultures colonism is just another form of slavery and europeans basiclly colonised and invade every fking place
No they didn't the Arabs sold the African's to the Europeans & the Europeans took them to America to be slaves
I read about it quite recently, just out of curiosity. The Arab Slavic slave trade is rather well known where I live and I do recall learning about it at history lessons in school. And being an Eastern-European Slav myself (Polish), I wonder how many modern Arabs actually have some Slavic blood in them due to this extensive slave trade in the past. I mean, as far as I know, these Slavic Slaves were rather large in numbers and most of them stayed and just 'blend' with local Arab population.
Not arab slavic trade but rather turkish slavic trade
Both Muslim Arabs and Muslim Ottoman Turks both took Slavic slaves by the millions.
@@spipo1903 Both happened during Arab caliphates Slavs were used as slaves and also during ottoman caliphate Slavs were used as slaves

@@spipo1903 Turkish doesn't mean Arabs, majority of that trades customers were Arabs and sultans. You can't blame the people in Turkey for slavery. We have been married with Anatolian people, not with slaves.
People in the comments saying that black people who want to embrace Islam against the image of colonial slavery of the past are 100% correct because they're ancestors were Muslims long before European renaissance and new world was discovered it is ironic that Africans had rich history from the likes of intellectual moors or the richest empire in history the Mali empire, the thing to note that is not only that african muslim flourished they themselves held African slaves meaning they were always treated equally depending on the region which brings the chapters of history to white slavery and how ottoman pirates and Anglo afghan wars had held them as white slaves of war. plz do some research before bashing Islam and muslims

This country is a joke
"even white people could be enslaved"
This is not a coincidence that the word "slave" in English and, as far as I know, Arabic languages, is derived from the name of Slavic peoples.
@@Endgame707 as a (relatively)white person, i dont understand the language of bears :)
I think you are wrong. Slav comes from Greek
@@yoloswaggins7121 from both en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery#Terminology
"The word slave arrived in English via the Old French sclave. In Medieval Latin the word was sclavus and in Byzantine Greek σκλάβος. Use of the word arose during the Early Medieval Period, when Slavs from Central and Eastern Europe (Saqaliba) were frequently enslaved by Moors from the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa"
but it doesnt matter actually
@@dezalator Oh it comes from Latin sorry. But not from any word for Slavic people
@@yoloswaggins7121 read what I sent you. The word for slave is literally comes from name of Slavic peoples in latin and greek.
Cuffa, the port city of Crimea, was the largest slave trade center in the world at that time.. The slave trade operated within a large fortress built for this purpose by Greek and Armenian and Jewish noble families..85% of Crimea's population consisted of slaves.. The Crimean-centered slave trade goes back much further than the Turk-Mongol invasion of the region..Vikings, Romans and later Tatars continued this system. But the war techniques of the Tatars, unlimited Ottoman support and the increase in the world's demand for slaves took the slave trade to a whole new level.. The total number of slaves sent to different parts of the world is thought to be 10-15 million..After the decision of the Greek, Armenian and Jewish merchants among themselves, the Tatars did not collect slaves from these peoples..Although some Greek and Armenian slaves are occasionally found, there is no information about the Jews, in German sources..
The 3 centuries-old period of the Tatar yoke of the Russians turned into great suffering for the Slavic world..
Sources write that even the Tatar raid in 1769 captured 20,000 Russians and Ruthenes..
Historian Brian Glyn Williams writes:
"16. th century about 20,000 people in Polish-Lithuanian society are rounded up by the Tatars each year, while from 1474 to 1694 about one million commonwealth citizens and more than 5 million Russians and Ukrainians were taken into slavery by the Tatars..
The Crimean Tatars were the Turkic people, while the ruling elite were descendants of Genghis Khan..
This lineage had a special importance for all Turkish and Mongolian tribes. The Genghis lineage (Crimean Giray Family) were also the sole heirs of the Ottoman dynasty in case of any extinction, so the Ottomans took them under protection, left them independent in their internal affairs and acted as allies instead of the conquered lands. He also gave them the title of Steppe Khans..
This was the most effective privilege that could be given to the Tatar cavalry, and from that moment on, the Ottoman-Crimean alliance, which continued uninterrupted for 350 years, and the 300-year Tatar Yoke period for the Slavs began..
