Allah has personal Identity
Allah described in the Holy Qur’an as an individuality. He many times clearly said “I” which define Him as an individual, or a person.
For example, in the sura “Az-Zariyat”, or “The Winds That Scatter” of the Holy Qur’an it is mentioned:
Allah said,
Wa ma khalaqtul Jinna wal-’insa ‘illaa liya’-buduun
Ma ‘uriidu minhummir Rizqinw-wa ma ‘uriidu ‘any-yut-’iinuun:
“I have created the jinns and humankind only that they may worship Me.
I seek no livelihood from them, nor do I ask that they should feed Me.” (51.56-57)
The term Ma, or “I” is very significant here. The speaker who is saying “I” must have His own personality. Any person who has any knowledge of grammar can understand that “I” refers to a personality. Therefore, the Personality of God, speaking to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W.), uses “I” while describing His own transcendental identity. “I” has a specific meaning, it is not a vague term which can be whimsically interpreted. “I” when spoken by Allah, refers to the Supreme Personality of God and nothing else.
