Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks and says: Is there a verse in the Book of Allah in which Allah addresses Himself, Glorified and Exalted is He?

Answer:
I do not know of anything like that. The addresses in the Noble Qur'an are either directed to the Messenger, may Allah have mercy on him,
(peace and blessings be upon him), and the intended meaning is the Ummah; or it may be directed to people in general, believers and disbelievers, "O people,"
O you who have disbelieved, make no excuses that Day.يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَا تَعْتَذِرُوا الْيَوْمَ
[At-Tahrim 66:7]
; or it may be directed specifically to the believers. These are the forms of address found in the Qur'an. Or it may be directed to created beings that have been subjected to His command, as Allah the Exalted said,
O fire, be coolness and safety upon Abraham."يَا نَارُ كُونِي بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
[Al-Anbya 21:69]
, as Allah the Exalted said, "O mountains, echo with him." This is an address of subjection and a command from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He: "Be cool and safe." As for Allah addressing Himself in the Qur'an, I am not aware of anything of that kind. Yes.
