Gender Dysphoria and Islamic Perspective of Gender-Related Issues Tehmina Rafiq

Abstract

Human beings are the noblest among all creatures. Quran discusses men & women and does not mention the word Eunuch نثَّمخ but the  hadith elaborates  on the third gender, which is called Eunuch. Beyond the gender reality, every  human has equal rights to existence and mutual respect, and it is the  fundamental right of every living being to be treated well, whether they are  animals or humans. The Quran clearly says that every soul is the creation of ِمَن اۡلِعۡلِمِاََّّلَقِلۡيًل .the Almighty ِبۡىَوَمۤاُاۡوِتۡيُتۡم And they ask" .َوَيۡسـَئُلۡوَنَكَعِن الُّرۡوِحُؕقِل الُّرۡوُحِمۡنَاۡمِرَر you concerning the Ruh (the Spirit); Say: The Ruh (the Spirit) is one of the  things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you  have been given only a little". This paper is divided into Six Sections. The first  part is the Introduction.
