There is no way to determine the exact beginnings of slavery. Slavery pre-dates written records. One of the earliest known records of slavery is The Code of Hammurabi (ca. 1760 BC) which stated that anyone who helped a slave escape would be put to death.

Pertaining specifically to your question about Islamic societies, slavery was known in almost every ancient civilization including the Islamic Caliphate. We will never know who the FIRST society to use slavery was.
