The following is my answer to a Quora question: “If Allah (s.w.t.) is the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful; is Allah a Feminine God?”
The assumption here is
that the attributes of compassion and mercy is associated with women, and is
more apparent in that gender. That is
simply sexist nonsense. Theologically,
an Absolute God is unlike Creation, which is relative. And part of that
Absoluteness is to not have any gender, since to be male is to not be female
and vice versa. God is neither male, female or in between.
We say God is spirit. Neither male nor female.Though having all attributes.
