13فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍMir Ahmed Ali(It is)1 the freeing a slave or a captive,Note the setting free of the slave has been so highly commended. Islam controlled slavery in such a graceful and practical way that it made the maintaining of a slave, a great responsibility for the Master and at the same it enjoined so much care and kindness to the slaves that when they were duly maintained, the slaves themselves, in many cases when they were freed did not like to have the freedom and to leave their masters. For the facilities to be given to the slaves to earn their freedom—See ‘Fiqh.’
