Why Quran uses masculine pronouns (He/Him/His) for Allah?

Some people raise the question as to why Muslims refer to Allah with masculine pronouns when they say He has no gender and is not like unto anyone.

In order to understand the whole idea, please consider the following points:

Natural and Grammatical genders:

There are two kinds of gender; 1) Natural (Haqeeqi), related to one’s biological bearing and 2) Grammatical (Majazi) considering their usage in the language.

Jesus (PBUH) did not die according to Quran

Qadianis, also called Ahmadis, the followers of the religion founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmed of Qadian, say that, Prophet Jesus (PBUH) died a natural death. And moreover these heathens try to prove their point from the Holy Quran, but all in vague. They can only deceive those people who don’t know the Quran in detail and the Arabic language. But Alhamdulillah Muslim scholars have done great work and have refuted their false propaganda in an irrefutable manner. All praise is to Allah.

The 'Last Mosque' Qadiani argument killed!

Qadianis often quote a Hadith to confuse the idea of Khatam Al-Nubuwwah (Finality of the Prophethood). The Hadith is from Sahih Muslim and it reads:

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِنِّي آخِرُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَإِنَّ مَسْجِدِي آخِرُ الْمَسَاجِدِ


The Prophet (PBUH) said; "I am the last of the Prophets and my mosque is the last of the mosques." (Sahih Muslim. Hadith 2471)

Excellence of Islamic Science of Hadith

Many people have a query and some use the same to doubt the entire Hadith treasury as to how come a narration remains unchanged after passing through different narrators. This notion is a clear show of the ignorance of the amount of care taken and efforts put in by the people who were Masters of the Science of Hadith (Muhaddithin). Much argumentation can be done on this but nothing will be more relevant then a direct study and analysis of different Hadith collections of scholars of different times.
