I sat and attended the class. It took place in the United States of America, which may surprise many. Around 2 to 3% of Americans are Muslims as of 2026, with just as many being converts (or really reverts according to Islamic teachings of all people being born Muslim) as there were those who were Muslim due to descending from Muslim immigrants or being Muslim immigrants themselves. In the city of Hamtramck, where the class took place, the majority of people including the mayor were Muslims, many Arab and Bengali Americans lived near the home where the seminary was. A man known as Sultan Pierre Whitelow, my cousin, was teaching Islamic mysticism and Marifa, or hidden knowledge within the Quran. He said something that surprised me in his teaching us of things hidden about the Quran. "The Quran's writings contain all things necessary within them, no hadiths are necessary, and she, yes, the Quran is a she, she is a female, contains much information that the Bible and Torah had not been specific about, proving that it contains divine revelations."
I opened Google and searched several queries. "The Quran is a she" and "the Quran is a female" and even "does the Arabic word Quran use feminine pronouns." Google just kept sending me websites and references put online by feminists. Blogs talking about the prophet Muhammad being a champion of women's rights and Islamic feminism. Feminism on paper is just standing up for women's rights, which by itself is not unislamic, but many things people call feminism are shunned by most Muslims. Regardless of whether the Muslim feminists websites were misleading or true, they could not answer my question. Is the Quran a female, not an it? What makes the Quran a she? I wish I had asked my cousin, the teacher, before the class ended.
I asked Sünni Muslims and Şi'a Muslims. I even asked Ibadis. I asked Black and White Muslims. Arab American and Persian American Muslims. Bengali Muslims. Members of small fringe groups outside of Orthodox Islamic branches such as Ahmadiyya and the Nation Of Islam. I asked Chinese and Uygur Muslims and Rohingya Muslims living in the USA. No English speaking Muslims could answer me. I realized the Quranists are most likely to know whether it's true or not, and regardless, be able to tell me what Sultan Pierre Whitelow was talking about.
