Why Does God Speak in the Third Person in the Quran? | Dr. Shabir Ally

Question: "Why does Allah speak in the third person in the Quran? Why doesn't He just say I am Allah and the Quran is my word?" Dr. Shabir explains that there are some mysteries in the Quran. He says that God also speaks in the singular the plural first person. He references Roman Jacobson, who says the Quran switches between 3 levels of discourse. Dr. Shabir says that this switching may be of benefit to the reader.
