You are not entitled to it because you are the son of a slave girl.

You are not entitled to it because you are the son of a slave girl." [1] Al-Aghani, vol. 4, p. 150. [2] Al-'Aqd al-Fereed, vol. 4., p. 160. Zayd opposed him and aimed at him an arrow of his flowing reason, saying to him: "Surely, mothers do not prevent men from (achieving their) objectives. Isma'il's mother was Ishaq's servant girl.

Nevertheless, Allah sent him as a prophet, made him the father of the Arabs, and took out of his backbone the best of the prophets, Muhammed, may Allah bless him and his family."[1] When the Umayyads adopted this abominable policy contrary to the real Islam, opposed it through denying and defaming it. They hailed what their grandfather, the great Savor, may Allah bless him and his family, had brought such as just equality among the Muslims.

They gave as clear, political examples of it to confirm it. For example, Imam Zayn al-'Abidin freed a slave girl of his and married her. So his opponent 'Abd al-Malik made use of this deed and began criticizing him. He sent him a letter in which he blamed him, saying: "Now then, I have heard that you have married your slave girl.

You know that there are among Quraysh your equals through whom you are glorified in marring and begetting children; therefore, you have not thought of yourself, nor have you retained your children. Greetings." When the Imam received the letter, he read it and understood that there was a belief of paganism standing among its lines and words.

So he, peace be on him, refuted him with his answer in which appeared the beliefs and objectives of Islam, saying: "Now then, I have received your letter in which you have scold me due to my marrying my slave-girl. You have claimed that there are among the Quraysh women (equal to me) through whom I am glorified in marrying and begetting children. There is no glorious ascent and no generous increase higher than Allah's Apostle, may Allah bless him and his family.

She had been possessed by my right hand and has been freed by me through the command of Allah's will, Mighty and Majestic be He. Through her I have sought His reward. Then I have returned her according to His Law. Whoever is pure in his religion, none of his affairs bring him about a defect.

Through Islam Allah has raised meanness, completed defect, and taken away blame; therefore, no blame is placed on a Muslim, but the blame is placed on al-Jahiliya (pre-Islamic beliefs)."[2] These are the beliefs of Islam in respect with justice and equality.
