Ar-Riq is slavery, there are people very rich in the Islamic years, and there was a slave that appointed governors and had his own palace. When you think about slavery you think of the American civil war, and the African slave trade, and... Yeah that, well in the Islamic years, there is a lot of baggage compared to how it was in the Islamic years.
Islam does not promote slavery, no ayats about it. But there are laws about slavery, when the prophet was around slavery was common, in Islam, there are laws about slavery and how to treat them well.
Islam encourages freeing slaves, but Islam does not condone slavery.
The only time that Muslims are allowed to take slaves is in war, as a mercy to keep people safe from the fighting to take them and put them in a safe place away from the war until they can be liberated.
Slaves are one of the parts of Zakat.
