Path to Freedom My next goal was to gain freedom from my Jewish slave-master so I could fully serve the Holy Prophetas. This was not easy, as my slave-master refused to free me. Because of this, I could not participate in the Battles of Badr or Uhud. Finally, the Holy Prophetas advised me to make a deal with my master. This meant that I could pay a certain amount of money or perform an important task to earn my freedom. After much negotiation, my slave-master agreed to set me free on the condition that I plant 300 date trees for him. 33
