Muhammad The Liberator of Mankind — Page 15
Muhammad as the Liberator of Mankind Messenger of Allah, offers the teachings that hold the key to eliminating the essence of slavery. Sir William Muir's allegation Despite this, individuals like Sir William Muir, unacquainted with reality, asserts: "Setting aside considerations of minor import, three radical evils flow from the faith in all ages and in every country, and must continue to flow so long as the Kor'an is the standard of Belief. FIRST: Polygamy, Divorce, and Slavery strike at the root of public morals, poison domestic life, and disorganise society. " The reality, however, remains that through the Holy Prophets, Allah the Exalted provided guidance on removing these three major evils. Overlooking this approach can lead to a cycle of rectifying one flaw for another to arise in its place, followed by yet another. Attempting to navigate these pitfalls without adher- ing to the teachings established by the Holy Prophet sas ultimately leads to deeper entrenchment [in the afore- mentioned issues]. Hence, even these individuals would be forced to return to the divine path set forth by Sir William Muir, Life of Mohamet, p. 521-522, 1923 [Publishers] 15
