What did he mean when the Koran talks multiple times about multiple Slave wives then?
War situation for example. More men die than women. Fact. So what happens to the women? Go out get a job? But after a war there is basically no economy... so what do u do to provide? Prostitution? This is why he prescribed it as permissable pending u do equal just to all wives and equal share, and u provide food and shelter.

Hope that answers your question.

Do your research pls, and NOT using islamaphobe websites.

Yes, the Qur'an recommended marrying the slaves. It was one of the many means of emancipating them.

Qur'an 24:32 "And marry the unmarried among you and the righteous among your male slaves and female slaves. If they should be poor, Allah will enrich them from His bounty, and Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing."

Qur'an 4:25 "But if any of you cannot afford to marry a free believing woman, then ˹let him marry˺ a believing bondwoman possessed by one of you. Allah knows best ˹the state of˺ your faith ˹and theirs˺. You are from one another. So marry them with the permission of their owners, giving them their dowry in fairness..."

Polygamy was mubah meaning "permitted" from a legal standpoint.
 
Something I've always found odd, wondering if any of the religious can explain it: why is god considered masculine in the abrahamic religions? masculine implies being 1/2 of a pair needed to procreate and produce offspring, but god is unique and can't have baby gods, so surely it is a contradiction for 'god' to be masculine? also, if god is masculine, does this mean he has gigantic god testicles and a massive god wang?

“Sufism cherishes the esoteric secret of woman, even though Sufism is the esoteric aspect of a seemingly patriarchal religion. Muslims pray five times a day facing the city of Makkah. Inside every Mosque is a niche, or recess, called the Mihrab - a vertical rectangle curved at the top that points toward the direction of Makkah. The Sufis know the Mihrab to be a visual symbol of an abstract concept: the transcendent vagina of the female aspect of divinity. In Sufism, woman is the ultimate secret, for woman is the soul. Toshihiko Izutsu writes, “The wife of Adam was feminine, but the first soul from which Adam was born was also feminine.”[16]

The Divine Feminine has always been present in Islam. This may be surprising to many people who see Islam as a patriarchal religion. Maybe the reason for this misconception is the very nature of the feminine in Islam. The Divine Feminine in Islam manifests metaphysically and in the inner expression of the religion. The Divine Feminine is not so much a secret within Islam as She is the compassionate Heart of Islam that enables us to know Divinity. Her centrality demonstrates her necessary and life-giving role in Islam.

Sufism, or as some would define it "mystical Islam" has always honored the Divine Feminine. Of course, Allah has both masculine and feminine qualities, but to the Sufi, Allah has always been the Beloved and the Sufi has always been the Lover. The Qur'an, referring to the final Day, perhaps divulges a portion of this teaching: “And there is manifest to them of God what they had not expected to see.”[17”
 
What disgusting thing did Muhammad(saw) say about the Africans ? He explicitly called out racism in his farewell sermon.
"All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor does a black have any superiority over a white, except by piety and good action."

Muhammad(saw) lived in a society deeply rooted in slavery. Slaves formed the majority of the labor force. When you say "mohammed sold slave", you are completely ignoring all the teachings he stated against slavery.
I can provide you the specific Sahih Al Bukhary and surah’s in private if you like. Don’t think mods would allow for it on here.

You can say and write many cute things in a book. But what does that matter when Mohammed sold slaves and had sex with them against their will. Basically they had no freedom. Nor does Islam ban slavery. It just gives you a structure on how you can keep slaves the best manner. But best manner for who exactly?

there is also this odd narrative that slavery was a normal thing during those times. For which culture? Maybe the Arabic culture. Whilst I won’t deny that you see feudalism and captivity in African history. Slavery was largely focused on Africans conquered and converted to Islam in the northern regions of africa. When you look at western and southern history. That’s just not a thing. There were many opponents fighting against the idea of Arabic slavery during that time. So at what point did god forget to tell Muhammad to stop raping his slaves? How can he be the best example of mankind? And is it surprising that we have extremists following an extreme warmonger? You can’t just excuse religion and say, bad people are using it as a tool for evil. Maybe there is something more inherently weak about the religious standpoint.

No wonder why Sufism (Tawassuf) which was once lauded by the traditionalists are now called heretics or viewed with suspicion.
 
Called heretics or viewed with suspicion…by (wo)men whose minds are closed to the compassionate Heart? Maybe that is more a reflection of society/humanity/the world in general, more than just religionists, scientists or atheists etc?

It's by those who care about the purity of the text. They're also compassionate about people deviating from the beliefs.
