Reminder and Feminization of the Self

Question
Question: Some of our scholars mentioned that "the Self" in their definition of "Allah, the Exalted": is a proper noun for the necessary existence, and they said that it can be masculine or feminine. In consideration of what is the masculinity? And in consideration of what is the femininity?
Answer

I say, and with Allah's success: The femininity is in consideration of the word, not in consideration of the meaning, and it is a figurative femininity like the femininity of 'Ubaidah, Hamzah, and 'Ibrah. The femininity is only real in humans and animals, and Allah knows best.
