    Yes, but sometimes they refer to the 3rd 'gender' as in English 'it'

    Salamun alaiki,

    In Arabic there is no third gender. Please, can you quote one example where someone refers to third gender in Arabic?

          It is RK's English, not Arabic of Qur'aan.

          http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/074.%20Al%20Mudathir/74.30a.gif
          Nineteen males-Angels are appointed for guarding upon her-Scorching Hell-Prison.
          "Ha" is a third person, singular, feminine pronoun referring to a known feminine object.

          See how he translates the same pepositional phrase with "Ha" pronoun at another place

            It is always used in masculine construction.

              Excuse me?

              RK translation is 'Over it is nineteen.' that is not what I wrote.

              I do NOT use RK translation.

              Well at least we agree on something, the 'it' is not Quran or the basmallah but hell. handshake

                So how come I've always been told Allah has no gender?

                  Gender in the sense of sex is not attributed to Allah the Exalted. This is what you were always told. When we hear about male pin and female pin we do not perceive that they have anything sex related. Gender is related to matter and life created from matter. Not to the One-the Only Who is not matter or from matter but the Creator of matter and life from matter.

                  He the Exalted Himself has said that He has no feminine counterpart-companion. Therefore, He the Exalted is always mentioned in mansculine constructions and pronoun.

                    Sorry, I just saw highlighted "it" and missing "are". I hope you have gone through the link. A pronoun is used to avoid repeating noun that is already mentioned. Manipulators ignore simple rules of grammar of languages. Qur'aan is masculine, how "ha" could refer to it?

                      Totally agree and think I said the same somewhere way back but it was my 'English' grammar that I used on the 'translation', not by the Arabic so was questioning how in Arabic an 'it' would be referred to as in a 3rd 'gender' like in English, but you're saying this is referring to an 'it' that's feminine.

                      I think I get it hypno

                        Thanks, one of the major lapses in translations of Qur'aan, whatever might be the target language, is overlooking the gender of nouns, pronouns and verb. One such glaring example is that all translations of 37 are incorrect, and thereby all stories and assertions made about it are erroneous. This happened by just ignoring the masculine subject of a verb and a masculine pronoun which refers to Qur'aan and not to Ayaat Mutashabihaat.

                          37

                          Why is there " Multiple meanings and allegorical verses"?

                          How does one understand it?

                          The answer is in the verse itself
                          " None knows its true meaning except God and those well founded in knowledge"

                          In other words it is God who explains it ( To those who are sincerely seeking knowledge from its true source and have no " other motives" except to redeem themselves- seek the true path of the Creator-)

                          The verse goes on to say" Only those who possess intelligence will take heed".
                          May the Lord grant /give His knowledge to all those who seek Him Alone.

                          Peace.

                            This erroneous perception is based on understanding that the whole thing is about what is translated as "allegorical verses". "Ayaat" is feminine noun, and participles used as adjectival description are also feminine. And look at the verb and pronoun, it refers to Qur'aan since these are masculine.

                                I don't know that my heart had felt this asking. I, on starting work today, started breaking it down in easy bites, giving caption "Miscellany of Grand Qur'aan Format and Organization". It will take some time. "Format and Organization" is one important aspect for evaluation of books.
