Modern Slavery in the Muslim world affects over 15 million people, and this website presents an innovative and potentially groundbreaking approach to the issue. Working one-on-one with Dr. Bernard K. Freamon, we built a multi-faceted, bilingual communication platform. The public pages feature two essays by Dr. Freamon that call attention to the issue and introduce the idea of an Ijmāʿ, or a Muslim scholarly consensus. The private portal hosts articles posted by Scholar-Contributors dedicated to exploring this solution. If a critical mass of scholars of Islamic law contributes and agrees that slavery is illegal under Islamic law, we will invite contributors to plan a conference, convention, or meeting that might further debate the issue and, hopefully, declare the existence of an ijmāʿ on the question of the illegality of slavery under Islamic law.
