Allah has personal Faculty of hearing
In the Holy Qur’an the description of Allah’s faculty of hearing is a recurrent theme. Generally people pray in the mosque, “O Allah, please forgive all our sins.” Allah hears and He forgives, for He is merciful. If one hears, then he is a person. But Allah’s hearing is not like ours. His faculty of hearing is neither conditioned nor limited. Even if we pray in our heart silently Allah hears us. He hears every single whisper within the whole creation. This proves Allah to be The Supreme Spiritual Person.
Thus the Holy Qur’an states:
Wallahu Sami-’un ‘Alim: “Allah is One Who hears all things.” (2.224)
Wallahu Sami-’un ‘Alim: “Allah is Hearer, Knower.” (24.21)
This means that Allah has an individual capacity samaa, to hear everything. Ability to hear indicates personality. The Holy Qur’an proclaims, “Wallahu Sami-’un ‘Alim.” This means Allah hears and He knows. When Allah hears the prayers of His devotees He reciprocates. There are many stories in the Holy Qur’an which show us how Allah spoke with the prophets. For example, with Moses, Abraham, etc. When they replied to Allah He heard them. Thus Allah has personal reciprocation with the prophets through speaking and hearing. This individual capacity of Allah to hear gives further proof that He is a Person, not an abstract senseless, deaf and dumb reality.
