The Qur’an also predicts that a man will rise up to lead the nations, pledging to usher in an era of peace. The man in the Qur’an is called the Mahdi, or Islam’s savior.

Slavery in the Islamic world has a complex and controversial history. In the earliest days of Islam, Arab Muslims enslaved men, women, and children as the spoils of war.

Some were castrated to serve as guardians of sacred spaces, while others were "harvested" by the Ottomans to serve in the sultan's elite infantry unit. Some even rose to the highest levels of political and military command, while women leading concubines also became powerful figures in their own right.
