Islam Invite to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided." Holy Qur'an 16:125

We Muslims do not believe that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is male or female. Allah is the Creator of everything and is beyond any gender or similitude. Allah does not incarnate, either in the form of a male or in the form of a female. Allah is not called in Islam "Father" or "Mother". Allah is the Rabb of the worlds. The Qur'an says clearly, "There is nothing like Allah." However, the Qur'an itself has used the pronouns "Huwa, Hu, Lahu etc. (He, Him, His etc.) for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Thus it is allowed for us to use this pronoun, but we must never think that this identifies Allah with the male gender. We should say that this pronoun is used generally for males, but it is also used for the Being who is beyond the male and female. Since the Qur'an has not used the pronouns "hiya, ha or laha" (She or Her) for Allah, it is Haram to use these pronouns for the Divine being. The pronoun "It" does not exist in Arabic language; and it is certainly against the Qur'anic concept of the Divinity. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is a not a thing, but a Being with Qualities and Attributes.

Referring to Allah as "He" is conform with the rules of the Arabic language which is the language of the Qur'an. In fact in Arabic there is only the pronoun of masculinity or that of feminity. The Masculine pronoun is independent by itself whereas the pronoun of feminity needs a letter to be added to it and to any part of the sentence that is linked to that pronoun.

So, since the Masculine pronoun is independent by itself and does not need any addition to be specified unlike the famine pronoun it is then used to express:
  • What is certain to be masculine.
  • A thing whose gender is unknown.
  • What is not described as masculine or feminine.

So, this is why we say:

Allah Says - He Says
Gabriel says - He Says
Israfil came - He came.

Although the gender of Allah as well as that of the Angels is indefinite.

Moreover know that referring to something with a masculine pronoun does not necessarily mean that it is masculine or feminine. For instance in Arabic, we refer to the book as "he" and to the newspaper as "she". In French we refer to the house as "she" and we refer to the castle as "He". This does not mean that the book and the castle are "males"; neither does it mean that the newspaper and the house are "females".
