I don't remember if I have posted in this thread or not. I notice many opinions that are not based on actual sources of theological understanding. I've heard all beings have a sex. That isn't true in any of the Abrahamic Texts or Scientifically. There are Millions of "creatures" which are asexual in our world. Ameoba, Mushrooms, and Sponge just to name a few. Then there are Hermaphroditic "creatures" such as many plants and some of the animalia of worms and amphibians. From scripture there is no basis that God has any gender and until extremely recent was never questioned. metaphorically speaking with millenia old rettoric (SP?) God was referred to as He. This coincides with Man being the "Head of the Family" or in larger terms "Head of State". But never does God say in any revalation that I have read that God has Male or Female physicality. Islam is very clear in that God has no gender
While it doesn't say God is not Male or Female, we can deduce from the fact that he does not beget, that there is no need for a distinction of charactaristics. Furthermore the argument that has been thrown around that we should look around at all these things that have those charactaristics, is answered (from an Islamic Perspective) by this Surah as well. We can't compare God to his creation.
