We want to begin by saying the Quran makes a distinction between

Thacker and Rajul, between being a male and being a male and a man.

And this is the key point between healthy masculinity versus toxic masculinity.

Allah Subhanoa Tala mentions there's something called biological male.

Allah says that women Koolishayinhala's a ujain, al-Aulakun al-Aulakum takirun.

From every species we created into two and Allah says in the Quran that

Yayo and Nasu in nah al-Aqna kum in that karinin wahunsa. We created you the male and

the female. So the two genders is very clear and a lot made us

either X, X, Y, we are either one gender or the other gender,

male or female. And generally speaking the

Quran does not praise being a male. Being a male is a circumstance of birth.

But there are verses in the Quran that praise masculinity.

Praise being a Rajul. So not every male is a man

every male lives up to being a praise worthy

masculine man. So we in Islam firmly believe in contrast to much of

modern culture that there is something called healthy masculinity. There is no

question about it. So before we get to toxic masculinity, let us

look at the Quran and derive from the Quran what the Quran describes as positive masculinity, healthy masculinity.

And there are many verses in the Quran.

And without a doubt these verses are meant to praise something that is obviously beyond the biological

circumstance of being born into one gender because you didn't choose which gender you're born in.
