Why did Allah address Himself in the Qur’an as "Dhil-Jalali wal-Ikram" (ذِي الجلال والإكرام), even though "Dhi" (ذِي) is for the feminine and "Jalal" (الجلال) and "Ikram" (الإكرام) are masculine attributes?
"Dhu" and "dhi" both mean "owner" or "possessor." Their grammatical case changes according to their position (nominative or genitive). As for the feminine "dhi," it is a demonstrative pronoun and does not mean "owner" or "possessor."
