This was a wonderful interview and he has such a calming voice. On a side note, at 5 minutes he notes that God has no human likeness, but meanwhile the muslim faith refers to God always as "he". This throws me off as we associate the word "he" with men, and it paints God in the image of a man by the nature of discussion. At the very least with us being flawed and limited human beings, we certainly are subjected to being formed by subliminal associations (whether they are intentional or not),(reply>), This is because of the limitation in language we don’t have much pronouns. And that’s how it is in the Quran to. Arabic is a very gendered language like Spanish. Every word is either masculine or feminine including inanimate objects like the sun and the moon. For Arabic the default pronoun is masculine form unless it’s clearly stated that the entity is a female. So if it’s not female then you have to you “He” as that is the default pronoun (doesn’t necessarily have to be male).<br>In short this is do to the limitations in language.,(reply>), Only English speaking muslim,(reply>), we use he just because of the lack of pronouns to describe God in the English language I believe. If we call God "it", this wouldn't be appropriate as anything can be described with "it" like animals , objects etc. In other languages there are appropriate pronouns.,(reply>), "God has no human likeness" than why do you moslems say God is the best planner? is nt planning a "human likeness"?
