One stupid question but I have always wondered why we address God as "He"?ME
We human being is letter bound. We have no way to communicate other than writing and following morphology. Since there are no other words are used by human being. It must be either he or she. Not it. He is supposed to be embodied with the power or the touch of masculinity. Therefore God is agreed to be called as He. Like when God speaks He tells anything He says, we say not I say. It does not mean there are many Gods. So by the He of God does not mean God is male
ya that's my question... why not she? can only be physical power attributed as power? I know we need a word to communicate but what's your stand on this. Are you satisfied by this or you feel that this should not be the case.. This use of "He" for God may have an indirect impact on human psychology or this use of "He" is the result of that psychology only
ME No it is not only the sense of physical power. Even not always tainted with power. Even the revelation came as He format. Actually He is to be understood as provider. I know why is this question is hurled. There are Hindu deities those are females and hindu mind thinks that Mother must be the source of all power. But again Bhagavan is the supreme deity. He is actually been attributed as a symbol of protector. Let me tell you one thing. The more the powerful u ll be the more the merciful u can be. The more the stronger u ll be the better the protector u can be. Firstly God is all mighty the that’s why He became all merciful.

This is the logic behind He God not She God but again He God creates all She nature. God is not a God if he is not the creator. Interestingly all His creations are she. So She (Creation) made He God as God is God only by His creation (She) It is almost like If there is no Amina then there is no Muhammad We come to know He God by His She (creation)
Oh again a lovely explanation. By the way While asking you this question hindu deities never came to my mind... I was only thinking about Allah. In all the five times prayers' dua this comes to my mind why am I addressing Allah as He so I asked you
ME
Hahaha I said it cuz many people brought Hindu durga so in adavnce i said tat U NEED NOT TO IMAGE ALLAH AS HE
ME
Let’s help me and walk with you. Human being is the product of their eventuality. We imagine things tat we are used to. When the name of a person comes in our mind then we try to envisage it as she or he. Suppose you are talking with your father then anyone after hearing this fact shall try to sketch a picture of your conversation. We automatically get into the gender cuz we are accustomed with it. Our logic also works as per the data and information our brain took ever since. So when we hear Moses talked with God we imagine the pictorial event of it.If I ask you to imagine image of a person then u can never imagine anything out of the varieties of shapes of living things we have been watching, we cannot invent any new image . Like when I shall say snake exits then you shall come across an idea how it exists , occupying a space and length and when I shall tell you God exists u shall try to envisage the image of God according to your personified perception of the existence of things around us.
That is why when there is no other words except he or she to mention a thing tat is not merely any material thingy then we hv either to use he or she. We cannot say, ‘it’ to someone. But the HE Allah doesn’t mean Allah is a male or just opposite to female. But we have to select a word to put His name forward. Allah talked with Moses is not the same as Ken has talked with Mujib.
Look there is a usage in English word as We with capital letter for king or queens; when a queen says , “We decided to work for you” then she is not talking about many people as we, she is saying about herself. It is though plural but in this case it is singular number.Poor are we.
