Homosexuality, Transidentity, and Islam by Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed explores the relationship between Islamic scripture and gender and sexual diversity. Drawing on the Qur’an, prophetic traditions, and historical scholarship, the book challenges common assumptions that Islam inherently condemns LGBTQ+ identities. Zahed examines how certain interpretations developed through later jurisprudence, cultural influences, and political contexts rather than the core ethical message of Islamic texts. Combining theology, history, and social analysis, the work argues that Islamic ethics emphasise compassion, diversity, and justice, opening space for Muslims to reconcile faith with diverse gender identities and sexual orientations.
