The book is the first anthropological collection that shows the different patterns where male and female were involved in the homosexuality.

This concept is wrong that in the Muslim world, the concept of the homo sex was not present. On the other hand, same sex relations were not present in the Muslims world but also they were tolerated to some extent. While on the other hand, the concept of the same sex relations was present in the Christianity world in less number as compared to the Muslim world. The author presents his theory with the help of the different studies and historical references from the different books and travelogues and even the biographies of the Muslim writers.
Homosexuality in the Muslim World includes cultural and historical analyses of the entire Islamic world, not just the so-called Middle East. Essays show both age-stratified patterns of homosexuality, as revealed in the erotic and romantic poetry of medieval poets, and gender-based patterns, in which both men and women might, to varying degrees, choose to live as members of the opposite sex.
