Best Answer
A:Premodern Islam practised the systematic acquisition, organised training and professional employment of slaves in military service, everywhere from Spain to Bengal(and possibly farther), yet the practice had no religious, legal or institutional tie to Islam. Known as Mamluks ("owned"), they enjoyed a higher status than ordinary slaves and could even become sultans.

The systematic employment of slave soldiers was absent outside Islamdom, although slaves did sometimes fight for non-Muslims on an irregular basis.

Yes. They could convert to Islam, but this was generally discouraged by the slave-owners because it was seen as less legitimate to hold a Muslim as a slave than a Non-Muslim and slave-owners were generally opposed to the manumission of their "property".
