The Arabic word for slave is ABD which literally means worshipper, drived from the verb ABADA which means he worshipped. Before Islam, the word was used for slaves who used to serve Masters in the society. When Islam came, not only did it strongly and strictly prohibit the strong from making the weak worship them, but also the weak from worshipping the strong. |
