Answer 5

MAN - god created man in his own image

God created man [Heb., Adam] in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." Adam was absolutely the first man whom God created. He was formed out of the dust of the earth (and hence his name), and God breathed into this nostrils the breath of life, and gave him dominion over all the lower creatures (Gen. 1:26; 2:7).

Answer 7

In Islam, God has got no gender. He is unique, unlike that which He has created.

Quran does refers to God as "He", because, In Arabic language, there are only two genders, "he and she" whereas other languages such as English have three genders. In other words, in Arabic there is only masculine or feminine, whereas in English there are three genders i.e. masculine, feminine and neutral. There is no "it" in Arabic, and "She" is used for pairs. e.g. shoes, hands, etc. The only gender left is "he", in order to refer to God. Its just an emphasis of the singularity of God. "She" cannot be used in Quran because God is one and only, not in pairs or two.

In the Arabic language, God is referred to in the masculine gender. This is similar to countries being referred to in the feminine gender in the English language. It doesn’t mean that God is masculine just like countries aren’t really feminine. It’s just our way of referring to God as it is our way of referring to countries. In German you would use the feminine for the sun and masculine for the moon but that does not mean that one is female and the other male either. So it’s just part of our language. God tells us that He is unique and that there is nothing comparable to Him, so it clearly doesn’t mean that he is male (see Quran chapter 112: verse 4)

"Naught is as His likeness; and He is the Hearer, the Seer." (QURAN 42: 11)


I disagree with the view that this somehow makes the Quran unclear. The Qur’an is using the language of the environment as is expected of a piece of literature. It would be a fault in it if it did not. Furthermore, the people who have knowledge of the language can clearly understand the implication of this reference. Of course the Almighty isn’t really a “He”, “she” or “it” but we know what is meant by the usage. It’s like the door that is referred to as “He” in the language - we know this doesn’t mean that it is male. God tells us Himself in the Quran that He is ‘unique’ so there is no question about it.
