    exactly

    moreover gender is classified different in different cultures depend on te language adoption how one inherited that term

    like let say urdu and punjabi both are my natives and in punjabi the word arm use femine gender whereas in urdu arm used as masculine gender like this
    mera bazo (urdu) masculine
    meri ba( punjabi) femine

    sometimes in case of eye
    tumhari ankh(urdu) feminine
    tumharay nain ( urdu) masculine

    same goes in punjabi for eye like this
    teri akhh ( punajbi) fem
    tera dela ( punjabi) mas
    so one thing "eye"we can speak in both forms if gender in both punjabi and urdu

    intrestingly human classified gender on things according to their nature in case of living things

    example earth always classified as feminine due to the nature of giving birth to things from her belly
    even planets like earth who did not give birth to anything we classified it as masculine

    in case of non-living things different things classified different gender form culture to culture

    as you pointed out about ship in english classified as fem but in my language ship(behri jahaz) purely classified as masculine

    look how complex is all this and you still thinking about what gender we represent by God its illogical

    no male or female can represent majesty he is above from everything whatever we can even imagine

    either you adress him by male or female or none it will not effect the greatfulness and glory of God he is so high so great

      Whise convention is that that masculine denotes majesty?

      he moon is more majestic than the sun, for instance? The sun is feminine in Arabic and the moon masculine, like in German.

      That is the kind of nonsense that undoes the other logical questions dealt with in the post, like that the gender of words is a grammatical question, a convention of grammar, and not any statement about the masculinity or femininity of say a chair or a brush. But gendering words does a lot to simplify and make language economical, which is why so many languages use gender as an important trait. But getting into the meekness and softness is nonsense. In Spanish "stone" is feminine, so much for softness. Of course, there ar emany words that also mean stones or some kind of stones and which are not feminine, but who cares and who fantasizes about it to come up with some sort of mystical transposition of grammar?

      I am not saying a mystical transposition of grammar cannot be done, but surely not that silly unfounded way.

      Salaam

      When Grammar itself was invented? If it came after The Quran Divine revelation then it has no authority on the language Allah/God (SWTAY)

        Hmm.. i have seen this argument before. Brother Ayman said that as well.

        Could you also give me some more? I am interested in this common noun understanding of Allah.

        These are common nouns

        5319 have so seen you allat and al-uza

              Grammar is inherent to language. Every language has grammar, just like any material thing has a structure. Gramar is not any more invented than language. Automatically if there language there is grammar, because the language is formed with a structure, otherwise we would not be able to communicate. But the constructing of any particular language may follow conventions, not inventions but conventions. Gender is one such convention. s aside from conventions, but exists in those things that are gendered. When applied to things that are not gendered in themselves, it is a convention. We agree or tacitle accept that a encil will hav e this or that gender, that virtues will have this or that gender, etc. etc. Just also like the days of the week are a convention. No essential difference between one day or another, just a convention for convenience and order. Language itself is a convention.

              So no need to look for an alibi in the grammar of the Qur'an, where, by the way the sun is also feminine.

              Salaam

                              There are these verses that support that

                              Wahuwa allathee fee alssama-iilahun wafee al-ardi ilahun wahuwa alhakeemualAAaleemu
                              4384 He is the One who is a god in the heaven and a god on earth. He is the Wise, the Knowledgeable.

                              Qul innama yooha ilayya annamailahukum ilahun wahidun fahal antummuslimoona
                              21108 Say"It is inspired to me that your god is but One god, so will you submit to Him?"

                              Innama ilahukumu Allahuallathee la ilaha illa huwa wasiAAakulla shay-in AAilman
                              2098 Your god is God; whom there is no god but He. His knowledge encompasses all things.

                              Waqala Allahu latattakhithoo ilahayni ithnayni innama huwailahun wahidun fa-iyyaya fairhabooni
                              1651 And God said "Do not take two gods, there is only One god, so it is Me that you shall reverence."

                              619 Say "Which is the greatest testimony?" Say "God is witness between me and you, and He has inspired to me this Qur'an that I may warn you with it and whoever it reaches, that you are bearing witness that with God are other gods!" Say "I do not bear witness!" Say "He is only One god, and I am innocent of what you have set up!"

                              O people of the Book, do not overstep in your system, nor say about God except the truth. Jesus, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger of God and the fulfillment of His word to Mary and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His messengers, and do not say "Trinity." Cease, for it is better for you. God is only One god, be He glorified that He should have a son! To Him is all that is in the heavens and the earth; and God is enough as a Caretaker.

                              This is a proclamation for the people and so that they are warned with it, and so that they know that there is but One god, and so that those who possess intelligence will remember.

                                      peace sardar, it's oldest dated confirms initials not counted as separate verses.

                                      likewise confirmation that the Quran was preserved by the pen not by hearsay.

                                      That is so true. There is are few verses that says Al-Quran is preserved by honorable people but i don't remember the verses? Could you help me out?

                                          Thank you so much Noon.

                                          I have two last questions

                                          1 Have you encountered some people saying that the word God is a pagan word or connected to female gentalia? (They use the bible if i recall correctly)

                                          2 What is your research on Al-Akhirat? (The Hereafter/Afterlife)
