    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

      Whereas

          Meant to say the language Allah/God (SWTAY) is using.

            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."

                            Qul ayyu shay-in akbaru shahadatanquli Allahu shaheedun baynee wabaynakum waoohiyailayya hatha alqur-anu li-onthirakum bihiwaman balagha a-innakum latashhadoona anna maAAa Allahi alihatanokhra qul la ashhadu qul innama huwa ilahunwahidun wa-innanee baree-on mimma tushrikoona
                            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!"
                            4171
                            Ya ahla alkitabi lataghloo fee deenikum wala taqooloo AAala Allahiilla alhaqqa innama almaseehu AAeesaibnu maryama rasoolu Allahi wakalimatuhu alqahaila maryama waroohun minhu faaminoo biAllahiwarusulihi wala taqooloo thalathatun intahookhayran lakum innama Allahu ilahun wahidunsubhanahu an yakoona lahu waladun lahu ma fee alssamawatiwama fee al-ardi wakafa biAllahiwakeelan
                            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.
                            1452
                            Hatha balaghun lilnnasiwaliyuntharoo bihi waliyaAAlamoo annama huwa ilahunwahidun waliyaththakkara oloo al-albabi
                            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.

                                        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)
