Journal Article
The Tentative Mufassira
2021
Overview
Qur'anic discourse is not confined to binary presentations of gender if people take a more expansive understanding of what constitutes gender. For instance, angelic bodies in human form and eschatological bodies in the Qur'an are liminal bodies that are not explicitly ascribed sex but that do have gendered qualities. In a preliminary way, Ibrahim explores the correspondences between gender in a grammatical versus ontological sense, but much more work could be done in this area. In terms of queer sexuality in qur'anic narratives, the Qur'an broaches the theme only with the story of Lot's townspeople.
