Under Abbasid rule, slaves could gain their freedom through several means. They could be emancipated by their owners, often as an act of charity or in fulfillment of a promise made in a will. Additionally, slaves had the option to buy their own freedom, known as "mukataba," by negotiating a payment plan with their masters. Some slaves also gained freedom through military service, where their valor in battle could lead to manumission.
Both peasants and farmers could become slaves under various historical systems such as in ancient Rome, where people could be enslaved due to debt or as a result of war. Once enslaved, individuals would lose their freedom and become the property of their masters, forced to work without pay and without any rights.
