Queer and Muslim : On Faith, Family, and Healing

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What does it mean to be queer and Muslim in a world that insists you cannot be both Queer and Muslim is a powerful collection by and for LGBTQ+ Muslims navigating layered identities across lines of faith, family, culture, and community. With contributions spanning essays, poems, letters to past and future selves, and more, the book explores the emotional and spiritual dimensions of queer Muslim life and challenges the perception that faith and queerness are inherently incompatible.These raw accounts confront the psychological toll of grappling with tensions between religious expectations and queer identity and offer rare insight into the ways mental health is lived, expressed, and supported across diverse cultural and theological landscapes. They tell of building chosen families and reconnecting with birth families, radical healing, cultivating spaces of belonging, and reclaiming faith on your own terms.In an era of rising Islamophobia and escalating threats to queer and trans lives, the stories contained within Queer and Muslim--stories of resilience, grief, pleasure, rage, and joy--are vital, each of them an affirmation of the multiplicity of queer Muslim identities. Queer and Muslim invites readers to listen deeply, think expansively, and care more courageously. Artikel-Nr. 9781779401281
