Allah has personal Faculty of speech
There are many verses in the Holy Qur’an which describe the speech of Allah. He spoke with the angels, prophets and mankind. So, if one has the faculty of speech, then He is a person. Arguably, Allah is an extraordinary Person Who is beyond this limited material world. Our power of speech is very limited and what little we are able to speak is grievously erroneous. But the speech of Allah is perfect and He can speak with the whole universe. One with such power of speech must be a Supreme Person. His personality and His speech alike are transcendental.
For instance, in the sura “Al-Baqarah”, or “The Cow”, it states:
Allah “said to the angels: ‘I will create a viceroy on the earth.’” (2.30);
Allah also “narrates unto (Muhammad) the best narratives.” (12.3)
Thus in the 30th ayat of the 2nd sura the word qala, “said” is very important. This means that Allah has personal reciprocation through kalam, speech with angels, the Prophet and mankind. This also means that Allah has His personal power of speech. He is the One who creates kalam, speech. “The speech” means reciprocation. It indicates at least two personalities, one who speaks and one who hears. Allah spoke with the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W.). The Holy Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W.). is a person this means Allah is also a Person. Allah is the Supreme, He cannot be less than the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W.). If human beings have personality how can we say that Allah does not have personality? How dare we deprive Allah from something. When the Holy Qur’an states, “Allah speak” this means that Allah is a Person, not an abstract reality. Because an abstract reality is speechless. Thus according to the Holy Qur’an, Allah is Active Alive Speaking Person.
