Why does Quran say "He" when referring to God (Allah) if God is not having gender
13. "Why does Quran say "He" when referring to God (Allah) if God is not having gender?"
Answer:
This is similar to the above answer. The word "He" is used when referring to Allah out of respect, dignity and high status. It would be totally inappropriate to use the word "it" and would not convey the proper understanding of Allah being who Allah is; Alive, Compassionate, Forgiving, Patient, Loving, etc. It is not correct to associate the word "He" with gender, as this would be comparing Allah to the creation, something totally against the teaching of Quran.
