Today my daughter (11 years old) is asking me that all of her classmates were discussing “why Allah is he”. Alhamdulillah I found this answer. Jazhakillah...

The more i watch islamic lectures and debates, the more i realize how important and necessary it is to learn the arabic language.

I still feel a little confused about the concept of the masculine being the “neutral” or “default” state of words in Arabic and them changing to feminine if there is an impetus. What would provoke the change and what examples do we have of this genesis? I wonder if there is a deeper analysis of this?

As far as I know, as an Arabic native, every word has a gender and the only way to know for which gender a word is included is to hear it from a source that knows it. (Dictionaries for example.) Or if it was grammatically obvious, like the word for "Tree" which is grammatically obvious to be feminine. If you're speaking about a person and you don't know their gender, it's grammatically correct to refer them in the masculine in Arabic. Even if you know and want to hide it, it's still correct. (Not in necessarily in our age, but in the Arabic that the Quran was revealed in, it was more common.) So that's how you should see it: Unless you had a reason to use the feminine pronounces, in Arabic you shouldn't use them. If you had a reason, it just adds extra information to the listener that you're talking about a female or a feminine word, but you're not totally wrong either way.

Can you please post the audio's of these videos on your podcast?

It's probably worth pointing out that Allah (swt) is called "He" and not "he." In english, you only capitalize pronouns like that when referring to the Divine.

That may be true, but it still assigns gender in the subconscious/conscious mind of the English speaker as that pronoun is used only for male living things. It assigns gender however subliminally it may do so. Capitalizing it only makes Allah the ultimate male or the ultimate man. Additionally....think about how often if ever you’ve seen the pronoun “She” capitalized in relation to the divine?

Very informative

That's also vary similar to French where there is two different ways to say "the" la as in the referring to something feminine and le referring to something masculine.

Thank you for this, It was and is to date a norm in poems, language to refer to a female even as he in Arabic. In previous times (arabs, linguistically) and up to date still for example in Upper Egypt, many arabic speaking countries it is the norm and standard if you like , for poems , to refer to "she" as "he" in text out of respect for women too. So speaking to the meccans, arabs, people then and now to an extent it was a norm to refer to all as HE in texts. It is even sung from male to male romantically ...as in folklore songs still today.

This is such an eye opener. I've been wondering the same thing and couldn't get the answer. Thank you so much. I hope people with other religions could understand this too.

This question will be said still there if Feminine is DEFAULT. This is how we perceive a Language. It is like asking Why in English "he'" is referred to point a men and "she" points a women. It is Language. Sometimes you need to think simple for complex questions. I don't know what is your native language. The word "it" refers to object in English, if I ask why it means objects, it is there. We all can agree to Sign language only. Other than that languages work differently.

Very simple and logical explanation. One who understands a little bit of Arabic language will get this point.

Somali language also works like that and I never understood “he” as a gender even when I was as a young as 7

I am a native from the USA. But, my sister married a Senegalese man and is raising a family in Senegal. When my niece came to visit and we were reading a Islamic children’s book in English which used the pronoun “he” in reference to Allah, she suddenly stopped me: “WAIT...Allah is a MAN???”, she exclaimed with distress. I’m sure I had absorbed the same understanding throughout my life athat this was a dilemma which humanized Allah for English speakers. The way I tried to resolve it for my family before we, insha’Allah, learn Arabic, is when I’m reading the translation of the Quran or speaking of Allah, I just replace the pronoun “he” with Allah’s name. It’s cumbersome but worth it.

Subhana Allah well explained!

I was surprised and confused when I learned Allah is considered as “he” in English because we have “O” word for this which doesn’t describe any gender. This video is quite useful and explanatory, thanks for shooting a video about this subject.

Could you simply say "Allah" instead of "He"? Some Christians do that to remove "God" from the constraints of grammar altogether.

Can you explain?

His name was bn named as Allah by SAWS

I am just trying to explain very simply. Why here we use He to pronoun Allah sometimes. In English we know all for third person singular Number we use He, She, It. Here He = masculine , She = feminine, It = neutral Who doesn't have life Now the question is if here we use He, then Allah (SWT) is Male. But in English when you gonna use pronoun form for an Unknown Gender who is Singular Person that is He. It's default. Here we don't know the meaning of Allah, We don't know this name is bearing what type of Gender. So it's unknown. That's why we can state He in English. But the meaning will still remain Allah. Now you might tell why you are not using It instead of He. Because Allah has life. You might ask, Allah has life then How Allah look likes? Answer: We don't know because Allah never states it clearly. In the judgement day Every person must see him. How do you make sure he has life, does Allah have shape? Answer: yes, Allah has shape. How the shape is? Answer: we don't know because Allah never describes it. But Allah is controlling everything. In many verse, there has statement about Allah's Hand, leg so therefore we must trust Allah has shape. So that's why we can't use "It" here. Why we can't use She? She is not the default pronoun and we don't know what gender Allah has. Allah is unique. There has nothing what matches with Allah. So By default you will need to use He in English. Well you don't like to use He, You can Use Allah all the Time. You don't need to follow your English Grammar. Let's follow your soul. If you trust Allah, That's it. Then learn the Quran, read the Quran to get the best reward at the judgement day. That's enough, isn't it? If you still have the confusion and you wanna argue, you know what Allah already states about you. Where it has? Read complete surah Bakarah carefully, you will get it. And last thing is Allah knows the best.

i wish i could speak arabic 🥺

In the quraan Allah uses an Arabic word to address himself which is a gender neutral pro noun (or noun?) In some languages it's easy to talk about Allah without using gender pronouns. So since we can't properly translate the Arabic word to English are we allowed to address Allah as her/ she? Because my whole life Ive been saying he which makes me believe that Allah is a masculine figure which is comepelty wrong because Allah is neither masculine or feminine. So wouldn't we be allowed to say she?

I have a theory and I am not a big scholar but from what I understood from this video and other scholars speech, Masculine/Male - If to use this word, it means as HE(Male) or default. Feminine / She - This is used when, the word refers SHE (Female) or something not unique (Default). Trees, Sun are all not default. There are lots and lots of variations. Our Sun itself a small star when compared to other celestial objects in our Universe. About trees, I no need to say. You probably get the point. In the entire universe, things vary (So they are not Default). Allah is the only one. So "He"(Masculine) is referred.

Simple brother/Sister. As you know a word is either Masculine or Feminine in Arabic language. Now, any Arabic word by default is masculine unless you the word has the following indications. Principles for qualifyiing a word as feminine: #1: The word ends with Taa-Marbootah (example the word Tree = "Shagarah, Car = "Sayyarah". All such words ending with Taa-Marbootah are feminine except few selected names like (Hamzah) #2: The word by NATURE (Biologically) is feminine (example: Mother, Sister, Wife, Daughter, Aunt, Grandmother, Mother in law etc) #3: Any thing that comes in PAIRS (example: Pair of eye "'Ainun", Pair of hands "Yad'un" #4: Forgetting the 4th category.

In the HINDU Vedanta, God can be both male & female, yet beyond gender. The mystery of life & God is beyond all human conception. Everything we know is within the terminology of the concepts of being and not being, many and single, true and untrue. Its because we always think in terms of opposites, God, the ultimate, is beyond the pairs of opposites. We see this in the creation in verse 78:8 "And We created you in pairs"

It's because Allah gives us Quran to read and use its instructions in our life. So when a muslim read the Quran and a part came about Allah , a muslim read "he" as Allah but if it was written as "I" then when a muslim read the Quran , it will seem that muslim is describing himself (human) which is inappropriate for example there is a part in Quran which is "say, he is Allah [who is] one " so for human reading you are describing creator , if "i" word was used then it would seems that human is saying about himself( the person who is reading ) nauzubillah which is inappropriate in every way , another thing messages of Allah is sent by a messenger so it's appropriate using "he" to describe Allah for the last messenger Mohammed ( peace be upon him ) which in every way using "he" is perfect . Allah use the pronoun he ( nutral form in Arabic ) for himself so we read as we are describing Allah and messenger Mohammed (peace be upon him ) gives us the messages from Allah which is The Holy Quran. And yes it's from Allah And Allah knows the best Hope it answers your question .

Only 6 type of ism(name) are faminine rest all other ism are masculine. Criteria of femininity: 1. Biologically female name. 2. Every name that ends with ta-marbut. Example: tree- shajaratun or shajarah. 3. Every name that ends with ' alif and hamza together'. 4. Names of fire and light. 5. Body parts in pair. 6. Names of towns, cities and countries. The word " Allah " doesn't follow any of these criteria of femininity. So "Allah " is a masculine ism . Because there is no neutral gender in Arabic.

Dear brother Nouman السلام علیکم I just listened to this video on using a masculine pronoun for a gender-free object and as you have rightly said that grammatical use of masculine pronoun does not indicate that the gender free object is masculine. But I have noted a deviation in this view-point and that is for the Arabic word NAFS نفس Grammatically, NAFS is feminine but it is gender free. ٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ رَبَّكُمُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَٰحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا Adam AS is male but grammatically female pronoun has been used for NAFS كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَاۗىِٕقَةُ الْمَوْتِ Of course both males and females will taste death. يَـٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ27 ارْجِعِيْٓ اِلٰى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً28 فَادْخُلِيْ فِيْ عِبٰدِيْ29 وَادْخُلِيْ جَنَّتِيْ Female pronouns are used in the above Ayah for NAFS NAFS is grammatically feminine but Allah has used NAFS for Himself in the Quran 28 سورة اٰلِ عِمْرٰن -3 || آية وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ اللّٰهُ نَفْسَهٗ ۭ وَاِلَى اللّٰهِ الْمَصِيْرُ And Allah warns you of Himself (of His Nafs), and to Allah is the (final) destination. 30 سورة اٰلِ عِمْرٰن -3 || آية يَوْمَ تَجِدُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ مُّحْضَرًا وَّمَا عَمِلَتْ مِنْ سُوْۗءٍ تَوَدُّ لَوْ اَنَّ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَهٗٓ اَمَدًۢا بَعِيْدًا وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ اللّٰهُ نَفْسَهٗ ۭوَاللّٰهُ رَءُوْفٌۢ بِالْعِبَادِ On the day, when every (human) Nafs will find to be faced with whatever good she (it) has done and with whatever evil she (it) has done; she (it) will wish there were a great distance between her (it) and her (its) evil.

"Nafs" is a feminine word, so it makes more sense to use feminine grammatical rules for the word when speaking even if the "Nafs" belongs to a male. That's not a deviation from the rule. This is the rule. The default is still masculine unless you had a reason to use the feminine, and the word "Nafs" is feminine enough to use the rules around it. Nafs mainly means self... That's the word "self." Not whatever self it belongs/refers to. I hope this clarifies what you were asking for, if I understood your question correctly at least.

Arabic is sensitive than english

Why did Allah decide to give the Quran in such a limited language, the Arabic?

@ahmadmanga

I think that's because every language is limited in some way or another. If you learn Qur'an you'll understand why Arabic is the perfect language for it. Humans can't understand the limitless. Even when describing the Heaven and Hell, Allah described them in ways that is physically understandable, because He knows Humans can't understand the limitless.

No one see Allah how in qrun said he for god no one see god Allah is just allah we can call allah or god

What about the pronoun “They” as a singular noun?

As I said to someone who asked this same question above: It's a good question. In Arabic, you just can't... There's no singular "they" in that language. But in English or other languages that has singular "they." I don't know... There is a lot of debate in how singular they is/should be used in English. I think it only became relevant just recently... So, I don't know the answer.

Can you refer to God as "They"?

That's a good question... I don't know the answer myself. But there's a lot of debate around how the singular "they" is used in English. If there's a language where that's clear use, without a debate, I don't see a reason of why not for that Language. As for Arabic you just can't use the equivalent for "they," because it's never used for singular.

Allah is only one and we Muslims believe that there is only one God, so we can't refer Allah as "They" since Allah is only one and not plenty.

Its they/them not it

Assalamoaleykum! I have a question, kind of similar to the one showed in the video. In the Quran, God sometimes uses a word which in English translates as "we". Can anyone explain why the word "we" is used, when God is alone with no partners? An example from the Quran "O men! Behold, We have created you all out of a male and a female, and have made you into nations and tribes, so that you might come to know one another. Verily, the noblest of you in the sight of God is the one who is most deeply conscious of Him. Behold, God is all-knowing, all-aware." (49:13)

What I know is that in the Semitic languages there are the "Respectable Plural" it calls "majestetis pluralis". This plural is not a plural in numbers but a plural for respect. Like a King who say: "We have decided so!" But in real he is the only one who decided. We allahu A' alem :)

The Qur'an gives instructions to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) such as "Say: He is One" to reveal information to people about God as part of the revelation. It seems fitting that Allāh refers to Himself as "Allah" & "He" as it would be easier for readers to understand the words rather than continuously processing in their mind that 'I' is referring to Allāh & not whoever is saying them (leading to less confusion) such as Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as the Qur'anic words were revealed through him. Also, as we're reciting the Qur'an it is appropriate that "He" & "Allāh" are used as opposed to "I" as it is about Allāh and not us. Allāh knows best. May He guide us, ameen

Smmmile:) The Prophet peace be upon him said, "All people are equal like the teeth of a comb. There is no merit of an Arab over a non-Arab or a white over a black person or of a male over a female. Only Allah-conscious people merit a preference with Allah".

It is a dog It is a tree It's a cat,cow etc. In examples above, "it" is used for living not inanimate. OK, and it's correct. "It" is used for non living and also for living (when we are not sure about gender).So, you were wrong when you said that we use it for inanimate objects only. Also, Why default is set for masculine (which relates to male) and not feminine ? Women give birth to young ones not men. Life originates inside womb (part of female body) and default is set for masculine. Unacceptable. We didn't come to hear that it's by default (which was set most probably by men). The right answer is that usage of he is wrong, unacceptable.

It is Language brother. Women gives birth to men but in Islam Adam was the first human , made by god and then comes Hawa (Eve) was created. Masculine is a word for power. Even most bold women says themselves as Tomboy and not as "Am the bold girl" or any other metaphor. About animals. Yes they are living beings but you itself said the explanation for that (as we can't tell without knowing the gender). Very important part is you question "Why default is set for masculine (which relates to male)". It is clear it Arab language Masculine is default and also male. (It is not said only male). Your sentence "We didn't come to hear that it's by default (which was set most probably by men)". This makes no sense. Next to sign language, none of us know exactly which gender created Language and you never can say for sure it is only created by men. I believe women also together formed language (Not only Arabic) but all other language.

This video can mislead new Muslims, Allah is not like the creation at all

Arabic can not be translated in its full glory by a baby language like English. Which isn't even fully developed yet.

the pronoun "He" indicates that Allah is one and he was and will remain one... The pronoun "She" used to those living objects who can reproduce something like her...Just like,we use "she" for a non-gender animal amoeba cz she creates another amoeba like her by dividing

Plus as i know and belive is true, we get Sawab every time we say the name of Allah.....As I know now that Arabic language does not have this problem.

@@md.abutalhajahid2423 If we do not use pronouns at all, we might come up with a lot of confusing and may be grammatically incorrect sentences. For eg: Surah Al Ikhlas: Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One = would be, Say, "Allah is Allah, [who is] One - it's not an appropriate use of language.

Masculine is 'Default'.

I just wanna ask these verses from Koran and Bible. Qur’an, 57:3.“HE is the FIRST and the LAST, the Outermost and the Innermost and He has full knowledge of all things,”. My question is: If the Koran is PURE Word of Allah himself and not the word of Muhammad as what Muslims claimed then why did this verse Surah 57:3 used a third singular pronoun "HE" instead of "I"? Unlike what Jesus claimed in Revelation 1:17-18 Revelation 1:17-18 17 “Do not be afraid. I am the FIRST and the LAST, 18 he Living One. I was dead, and behold, now I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of Death and of Hades.… Jesus said "I am the FIRST and the LAST it's a direct claim of JESUS. Thank you...

I'll leave it up to you to guess who this Allah really is :)

THE BELOW MENTIONED VERSE OF THE QURAN PROVES THAT QURAN IS WORD OF GOD ALMIGHTY AND THAT ISLAM IS THE TRUE RELIGION,ITS SURAH AS-SAFF 61:6: And ˹remember˺ when Jesus, son of Mary, said, “O children of Israel! I am truly Allah’s messenger to you, confirming the Torah which came before me, and giving good news of a messenger after me whose name will be Aḥmad. HAD IT BEEN THAT MUHAMMED A.S. WAS A FALSE PROPHET HE WOULD NOT HAVE MENTIONED HIS NAME IN THE QURAN IN THE ABOVEMENTIONED VERSE AS AHMED,BECAUSE ALL IDOLATERS OF MECCA HAD KNOWN HIM FROM HIS BIRTH THAT HIS NAME WAS MUHAMMED, AND HE WOULDNT HAVE CONVINCED THEM TO BELIEVE HIS "FALSE MESSAGE" BECAUSE OF THAT NAME.BUT,ALLAH ALMIGHTY HAS USED HIS SECOND NAME AHMED AS ISA A.S. HAD MENTIONED HIM,THUS,ALLAH ALMIGHTY HAS TESTIFIED,CITED THE WORD OF ISA A.S. IN HIS ORIGINAL PREACHING SPEECH. SO, IN OTHER WORDS MUHAMMED A.S. IF HE WASNT A PROPHET IT WOULD BE A EXTREME RISKY AND CERTAINLY GAMBLING FOR HIM TO WRITE HIS NAME AS AHMED IN THE QURAN.A NAME THAT QURAYSH HADNT KNOWN IT TO BE A NAME OF OUR BELOVED PROPHET.

Mostly all the best in the Quran is Greek philosophy, just like Christianity & Judaism...Judea was a Greek colony for almost 200yrs, then the Angels, Archangels, Holy Spirit, Messiah, Resurrection, Day of Judgement...even the word Paradise were all borrowed by the Hebrews from the ancient Persians. Judea was a Persian colony for 200yrs before the Greeks, the Hebrews first messiah in their Bible was the Persian king Cyrus the Great. Islam & Judaism essentially are mostly Persian in origins, including the idea of heaven & the afterlife.
