 ==Freeing slaves is a good deed==
-As in the Zoroastrian religion<ref name="Zoroastrian">Irani, K.M. & Silver, M. (editors), [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ce7WjBvjENEC&pg=PA87&lpg=PA87 Social Justice in the Ancient World], Connecticut:Greenword Press, 1995, p.87</ref>, manumission of slaves was a good deed in Islam. In both contexts slaves were abundant and easily obtained. However, it is clear in the verses quotes above and hadiths below that this does not mean that Muhammad or Islam disapproved of slavery:
 {{Quote|{{Quran|2|177}}|It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the West; but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Scripture and the prophets; and giveth wealth, for love of Him, to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor-due. And those who keep their treaty when they make one, and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of stress. Such are they who are sincere. Such are the Allah-fearing.}}
