Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed proposes to summarize here the Islamic scriptural sources relating to the question of the diversity of (human) nature(s), genders, and sexualities. Thus, through an approach that is certainly more politically engaged than that of most Islamic thinkers of our time, I clarify certain theological notions that may seem hermetic for the uninitiated. He often encouters people - be they personally concerned or not by this question - who have heard so much about the subject that they want to have a clearer understanding of the question that would be at once synthetic and global, from the point of view of the so-called Arab-Muslim tradition.
