[b]Islamic law allows slaves to get their freedom under certain circumstances. It divides slaves with the right to freedom into various classes:
[/b]
The mukatab: a slave who has the contractual right to buy their freedom over time
The mudabbar: a slave who will be freed when their owner dies (this might not happen if the owner's estate was too small)
[b]The umm walid, a female slave who had borne her owner a child[/b][/quote]

This is from the bbc link YOU posted - mind you, no one put a gun to your head and made you quote THAT:

"Concubinage was not unique to Islam; the Bible records that King Solomon and King David both had concubines, and it is recorded in other cultures too.

Being a concubine did have some benefits: i[b]f a slave woman gave birth to her owner's child, her status improved dramatically - she could not be sold or given away, and when her owner died she became free[/b]. The child was also free and would inherit from their father as any other children."
