What are the classifications of plural terms in religious texts?

Primary text

Plural terms are categorized into four types. The first type is that which inherently encompasses both males and females by its very designation, such as 'al-awlad' (children), 'adh-dhurriyyah' (progeny), and 'al-'alamin' (the worlds). The second type is that which is primarily formulated for males but also includes females when they are gathered together. This category includes terms like 'al-muslimin' (Muslims), 'al-mu'minin' (believers), 'al-qanitin' (the obedient), 'as-sābirin' (the patient), 'as-sādiqin' (the truthful), 'adh-dhimmiyyin' (protected people), 'al-mushrikin' (polytheists), and 'al-fasiqin' (the wicked). This classification also applies to masculine pronouns, such as the 'waw' (plural marker) in 'qāmu' (they stood), the 'ta' and 'mim' in 'qumtum' (you all stood), the singular and connected forms of 'hum' (they), and the 'kaf' and 'mim' in 'lakum' (for you) and 'alaykum' (upon you). When both males and females are present and the masculine form prevails, both genders are included under this wording.
