Slavery in the Muslim world first developed out of the slavery practices of pre-Islamic Arabia, and were at times radically different, depending on social-political factors such as the Arab slave trade. Two rough estimates by scholars of the number of slaves held over twelve centuries in Muslim lands are 11.5 millionand 14 million.Under Sharia (Islamic law), children of slaves or prisoners of war could become slaves but only non-Muslims.
