If God is believed to be a genderless being, why say 'he'?

astaqfirla wallahi am nt sure
forgive me if im wrong bt i dnt think the arabic word translates into a he
its just that the english language
is not as complex as the arabic language
which creates the use of HE
also its always a he with a capital H to distuingish it from he lyk this he to a He lyk tht even in de middle of de sentence when refering to allah
hpe tht helped

because my brother they use code to make it clear
they never say
"he said" they say He with a capital H even in the middle of the sentence (gng agains general gramatical rule)
when refering to ALLAH therfore making it clear
understand?
yeh ALLAH DOES KNOW BEST
alhamdulilah

Ohhhh that was so ignorant.... The thing we live by, feed by, breath by., We dont need to know about it?? bismillah some people are just brain washed.

Translations of the Qur'an, Chapter 112:
AL-IKHLAS (SINCERITY)

Total Verses: 4
Revealed At: MAKKA
Maududi's introduction

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

112.001
YUSUFALI: Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
PICKTHAL: Say: He is Allah, the One!
SHAKIR: Say: He, Allah, is One.

112.002
YUSUFALI: Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
PICKTHAL: Allah, the eternally Besought of all!
SHAKIR: Allah is He on Whom all depend.

112.003
YUSUFALI: He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
PICKTHAL: He begetteth not nor was begotten.
SHAKIR: He begets not, nor is He begotten.

112.004
YUSUFALI: And there is none like unto Him.
PICKTHAL: And there is none comparable unto Him.
SHAKIR: And none is like Him.


Here are three translations of al-ikhlas ... and All three say he and nothing else ... that the term is used does not mean you are even to imagine his appearance in any shape or form...
