But now you are speaking about Christianity.  Islam is, essentially, a summation of early Christian heresies and myth and not, necessarily, situationally.
The OT has many more references to God analogously taking on traditional male and female characteristics.  It was through Jesus that God revealed Himself as Father, though this is not meant as a gender indicator but as an actor in the lives of His children.  
This is not so for Islam, as I understand it, where, though masculine pronouns (which may have a neuter gender) are often used, the Surah I provided is, at least for those with whom I've spoken, a "proof text" that Allah is masculine.
Primarily, though, I just think Leo is the better character for the job of delivering the line.
