In case you didn’t know, I wrote a book titled Debunking the Myth: A Fresh Look at Islam. It dives into some of the most controversial topics people talk about in Islam, both Muslims and non-Muslims.

One of the funniest claims you’ll hear is “Islam supports slavery… like it’s mandatory in Islam.” Then in the same breath, they point to modern conflicts or war-torn regions and say “See? This is Islam.” But here’s the part that never gets explained Muslim-majority countries didn’t just ignore slavery, they abolished it at different points in history For example Tunisia abolished slavery in 1846 The Ottoman Empire officially banned it in 1924 Saudi Arabia abolished it in 1962 UAE ended it in the 1970s Mauritania abolished it in 1981 and criminalized it later in 2007 Across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, Muslim-majority nations gradually outlawed slavery under modern law Now here’s the contradiction nobody answers If Islam truly mandates slavery as a religious obligation how exactly do entire Muslim countries legally ban it How do you forbid something your religion supposedly makes compulsory It doesn’t add up And that’s the point What people are often reacting to isn’t Islam as a fixed legal system today but history, war, politics, and human behavior being incorrectly pinned on religion without context or consistency You can criticize history You can debate interpretation But the “Islam = mandatory slavery” claim collapses the moment you apply basic logic

@anembaben Does God rare sheeps?

@MasterMaliq As a Muslim saying this… isn’t it haram? Referring to the Lord as your shepherd ?

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul; he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Amen🙏

@dickson_aliaro Islam doesn’t place moral duty on the slave to “earn” freedom. The responsibility is on the owner and society,while the slave is encouraged to be patient and seek lawful means, not retaliation or sin.

@MasterMaliq And what about the slave himself. If th the owner of the slave should free him for righteousness what about the slave being righteous to the one who has refused to free him? What should the slave do?

I stand to be corrected, but if you’re comparing Christianity and Islam based on their stance toward the emancipation of slaves, Islam clearly comes out stronger on the issue. The Quran repeatedly encourages the freeing of slaves as a righteous act, an expiation for sins, and a path to virtue. In Islam, freeing a slave is directly tied to morality and worship. ( Quran 2:177) By contrast, the Bible regulates slavery in multiple places, yet nowhere clearly presents freeing slaves as a core virtue or moral ideal expected of every believer.

@Maiku167 Historical slavery existed everywhere, including in societies of the time, not a uniquely “Muslim” system. And modern slavery in parts of Africa isn’t tied to mainstream Islamic teaching; it’s a legal and governance failure, not doctrine.

@MasterMaliq Muhammad was a slave owner and a slave trader. Muslim majority countries in Africa are still practicing slavery. 🤷

@JacobWi14191823 That’s an abuse of religion, not what the Qur’an teaches.And “Sharia = slavery today” isn’t accurate.

@MasterMaliq Tell that to the women and little girls with their faces burned off. The difference is that slavery is still a thing now, under sharia law. Worth noting, the Quran also promotes deception. That, by itself, invalidates all information from the Quran. No exceptions.

@Peterhardwick17 Yes, but that’s history, not doctrine. Slavery ended globally in stages under modern laws,.not because one religion uniquely supported or rejected it.

@MasterMaliq Really? Saudi Arabia only abolished slavery in 1962. Iran 1929. It is STILL legal in Afghanistan. And Arab slave traders were the most prolific of all.

That’s not true..The Quran didn’t promote “rape”, it regulated an existing system and consistently pushed freeing slaves as a virtue and expiation. And slavery wasn’t tied to converting to Islam.Also, slavery existed in Christian societies for centuries too... abolition came much later through modern laws, not scripture alone.

The Qur'an affirms the right to take slaves and even rape slave women. Muslim countries, even into the twentieth century, were the last to outlaw slavery under international pressure. Islam did indeed see freeing slaves as righteous, but only upon the slave becoming Muslim. x.com/AbdulHaqq12383…

@larryblaize101 Because people believe truth matters and naturally try to defend or share what they think is true. But forcing anyone never really produces real faith; it just creates resistance. Ultimately, people should choose what they believe freely, with respect on both sides.

@MasterMaliq Why do we derive joy in comparing between people's faith, why must another man follow your faith, why not encourage people to learn more about their personal faith and leave others to theirs?

History doesn’t support that claim in that simple form. The trans-Saharan and Indian Ocean slave trades involved many groups over centuries, and slavery existed globally, including in Christian majority societies long after the New Testament. As for the Quran, it restricted slavery and consistently pushed emancipation as a virtue, gradual reform in an existing system, not instant abolition.And Christianity didn’t “abolish slavery” in scripture; abolition came much later through political and social movements.

You are really delusional or you lack historical knowledge . Islamic/Arabic slave trade was worse than Trans Atlantic trade. They had the highest no of black slaves from Africa. We see black Americans, black Europeans where are the black Arabs ? Your Quran is the master book of lies and contradictions, hence it still supports sex slaves, what your right had possesses Which is not abrogated . Christianity abolished slavery.

@GaryHuerta12 Fair point but age doesn’t decide morality. If we’re comparing Jesus and Muhammad, compare what they actually taught and did in their own roles, not just when they lived.

@MasterMaliq Well done, Maliq…you found one beneficent in the Qur’an. The Qur’an is 7th century/6th? I can’t remember, so let’s not compare it to the Tanakh, there’s a good few thousand years between the two. Compare the Quran and Mohammed to Jesus and the New Testament please.

@OAFAAF2653121 You don’t have to like it, but insulting and dehumanizing people isn’t a discussion, it’s just anger. I’ll leave it there.

@MasterMaliq Oh fuck off my timeline with you bullshit islamic demonic, blasphemy.. Its totally offensive

I hate being called a “moderate Muslim.” I’m simply a Muslim. All we really have are Muslims and criminals/extremists hiding behind religion. Supporting child marriage? Criminal. Abusing women and children? Criminal. Killing for blasphemy? Criminal. Forcing women to cover through fear and violence? Criminal. Beating wives in the name of religion? Criminal. Murdering innocent people in the name of jihad? Criminal. Forcing religion on others? Criminal. Protecting abusers because they “look religious”? Criminal. They may scream “Islam” all day, but they’re still criminals among us. Real Muslims don’t need a softer label just to look decent.

@chrisnulled Rejecting a literalist reading of poetic or classical descriptions isn’t “rejecting half the Quran” or Muhammad. It’s a matter of interpretation, language, and context, not assuming the text is endorsing scientific errors or mythology.

@MasterMaliq So how can you believe that the Quran and Mohammed is perfect of you don't believe half of the verse's? Do you not believe that the sun sets into a muddy bog or the stars hang by string?

@sb66_shawn That’s an unfair generalization. People’s understanding of Islam varies widely across cultures and levels of education, and it’s not accurate to reduce entire regions or communities to “control and manipulation.”

@MasterMaliq Sadly in some 3rd world countries, where reasoning and intelligence is hindered, Islam is only practiced as a form of control. They forgo the message of peace and unity in favor of control and manipulation.

@3mPeRaToR No. A Muslim who rejects violence, abuse, and extremism is not “pretending”, he’s simply refusing to justify criminality in the name of religion.

@MasterMaliq That's what I said to people, Moderate muslim doesn't exist, it's just a charade that muslim play while they grow their numbers to then attack you. An honest muslim, at last.

@Efrog777 The Quran never commands child marriage. And being Muslim doesn’t mean defending every cultural or historical interpretation pushed by later scholars.

@MasterMaliq Then, you are not following the Qur'an, you're not really a Muslim. Are you criticising Muhammad for marrying a 6 year-old? Then you are not a Muslim but a decent human being.

@gaymagaman I already do. Publicly and directly. That’s exactly why people like you are reacting to this post.

@MasterMaliq Then go to them. Confront them. Stop relaying to Westerners your good intentions.

@RobWhittaker17 At first, he was shaken by the experience, which actually makes the account more human, not less. Khadijah and Waraqah didn’t “invent” the experience; they interpreted it based on their knowledge of previous revelation traditions.

@MasterMaliq Muhammad didn't know it was Gabriel. He was actually convinced by two others. So you dont speak the truth Just because two others one who was his wife, and the second was a friend of his cousin. They weren't in the cave.

Angel Gabriel (Jibril) played a major role in the lives of many prophets. In Islam, he was sent by God to deliver revelation to Prophet Muhammad for over 20 years. So I’m curious from a biblical perspective: what exactly was Gabriel’s role during the time of Jesus? Did Gabriel ever bring revelation to Jesus? Was he ever sent to Jesus by "the Father" the same way he was sent to other prophets?

Moses also interacted with angels in biblical tradition, and even the Torah says no man can fully see God and live. Revelation through angels is not foreign to scripture. As for Jesus, you’re arguing from Christian theology, which Muslims simply do not share. Islam rejects the idea that God is literally a son speaking to a father.

God never sent Gabriel to Mohammed. Mohammed tried to base the authenticity of the being that visited him on whomever Waraqah said visited Moses. The problem? Moses spoke with God not an angel. With regards to Jesus, there's no need for the father to send a messenger to the son when the line of communication directly exists between the father and the son
