    First of all, please understand that all humans are equal in the sight of God. The only differentiating factor amongst us in front of Him are our virtues.

    Next, please know that what are commonly known as God’s 99 names are in fact His attributes. These attributes allow us to know God. It’s not entirely correct to say that God has 99 names because as per Quran verse 17:110, all good names belong to God. Besides, out of these 99 names some are mentioned in the Quran while others were created by humans. Hopefully the following video will help in understanding the concept:

    Faisal sb has responded in a way so you can understand the basis of the names. The famous 99 names are attibutes of Allah not actual names.

    He also said all humans are equal in diginity sprituality and as indiviual so it asnwer query about hatred of Allah toward women..

    Let me go to specific now. In general use of arabic, all nouns are considered masculine by default. Hence when using verb, by default meanings are in masculine form unless specified.
