God Referring To Himself In The Third Person
Question is why does God refers to Himself in Quran like :” By your Lord, or ” By Allah …. & like ” Allah leaves then astray etc etc.
Is this Jibriel talking here to Prophet [saw] or is this God Himself saying these exact words??
Why does God says By Allah by Your Lord, while He is the one speaking the Quran?
Kindly explain someone.
Jazakallah khairan.

It is a stylistic device to refer to oneself in the third person which can also be found in some of the old literary works. The practice of referring to oneself in the third person is called Illeism.
