Allah's speech is uncreated and distinct from His creation, meaning He worships and praises Himself in the Quran.

In traditional Islamic theology, Allah's speech is considered uncreated and an attribute of His essence. This leads to the conclusion that when Allah speaks in the Quran, He is essentially praising and glorifying Himself. This raises significant theological questions about the nature of Allah. If Allah worships Himself, it implies a form of self-dependence that contradicts the nature of a supreme, all-sufficient deity. In Christianity, God is understood as fully self-sufficient and does not require worship from Himself or others to affirm His divinity. Furthermore, the act of worship is seen as a relational dynamic between God and His creation, where God is the object of worship, not the subject. Therefore, the Islamic claim that Allah worships Himself presents a paradox that challenges the coherence of Islamic theology regarding the nature of God. This distinction highlights the fundamental differences between the Islamic and Christian understandings of God’s nature and attributes.
