Throughout its entire existence, [[624]]–[[1517]], the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] engaged in all forms of slavery. Chattel slave trading was primarily conducted within the confines of the empire but it was, at certain points in [[Daxia]]n history, a vital commodity in the [[Silk Road]] trade. Historians estimate that over the almost 900 year reign of the Caliphate, approximately 75 million people were enslaved, primarily for military and government services, around 25 million of them were transported as chattel slaves across the [[Sea of Istroya]], in both directions, meeting the criteria for global trade statistics. | Throughout its entire existence, [[624]]–[[1517]], the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] engaged in all forms of slavery.
