2. In the HOLY BOOK
Beating slaves is allowed on
condition that beating him would not
disable him for two days
Exodus 21:20-21 “And if a man smite
his servant, or his maid, with a rod,
and he die under his hand; he shall be
surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he
continue a day or two, he shall not be
punished: for he is his money
[property].”

Punishing a slave severely is atoned
by freeing him.
Prophet Mohammed (saw) said:
“Whoever slaps his slave or strikes
him, his atonement (KAFFARA) is to
free him.”

4. THE HOLY BOOK condones killing a slave
20-21 “If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod
and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished,
but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day
or two, since the slave is his property.”

slave, we will kill him.”

6. A SLAVE is not ordinary
people IN THE BIBLE
In the Old testament, there is No
Difference Between The Slaves
And Animals.

on the seventh day do not work, so that your
ox and your donkey may rest and the slave
born in your household, and the alien as well,
may be refreshed."

people IN THE BIBLE
Bulls are to be put to death if they
gore normal people, but they are
just stoned if they gore a SLAVE.

female SLAVE, the owner must pay thirty
shekels of silver to the master of the slave, and
the bull must be stoned But Not To Death"

8. IN ISLAM slaves are ordinary
people and even Brothers
And Sisters
The Prophet Says "Those slaves are your
brothers, only God gave you an upper hand over
them. So let that who has his brother (i.e. slave)
under him give him the same food he himself eats,
and the same clothing as he himself wears. The
master may not give his brother a task that is
beyond his ability. If he does give him such task, let
him lend him a hand"
The Prophet prohibited the Moslems to use the
word SALVE, he, instead, ordered the Moslems to
say" My Girl, My Boy."

Can Sell His Daughter
In the Bible, the Father Has The Right
To Sell His Daughter To Be Forced To
Sleep With Other Men according to
Exodus 21:7-8, “and if she tries to
be redeemed (to be set free), then her
punishment is to be Stuck With Her
Master!”

day or two, he shall not be
punished: for he is his money
[property]."
