In English, everyone is obviously either male or female. A native English-speaker would probably not call anyone an "it" except to be silly or intending to offend, so it doesn't seem that Muslims would talk about their deity in such a casual way.
So, in the original Arabic Qur'an, is Allah obviously male, or are there gender-neutral descriptors available and used?

Hmm...if we say..wait, do you speak arabic?
If we say allah or elah (the same)
elah/ilah =masculine
aliha=feminine
and, elah, is the same as allah....and they say, for example: "kala allahu ta'ala..." ("he said...") because
kala=masculin
kalat =feminine
So, it's a he! obviously... :'D
