This may seem like a trick question, the answer is quite simple once you think about it! The answer is somewhere within the Bible!

In the Hebrew tradition, Sophia (Wisdom, Hochma) was considered to have been with God from the beginning of Creation. In Proverbs 8:27-31, Sophia says:
When God set the heavens in place, I was present,
When God drew a ring on the surface of the deep,
When God fixed the clouds above,
When God fixed fast the wells of the deep,
when God assigned the sea its limits-
and the waters will not invade the land,
when God established the foundations of the earth,
I was by God's side, a master craftswoman,
delighting God day after day,
ever at play by God's side,
at play everywhere in God's domain,
delighting to be with the children of humanity.
Sophia, in the biblical creation was not a god, but was a divine being. It is not clear that she was uncreated like Jesus: the word used to refer to her creation also means "acquired" by God. Proverbs 8:22 -"God created me [acquired me] (Sophia) when God's purpose first unfolded."

Thank you for this question.
Actually there is an answer in the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (saw). In one of the Hadith Qudsi (special class of hadith which recount things God said to Muhammad (saw) but not put into the Quran) Rasul Allah (saw) says that Allah said "I was a hidden treasure who longed to be known, so I created the creation."
The word translated as "longed" can also be translated as loved according to many hadith interpreters.
There was nothing to love or be loved before God created creation, and creation exists in order to fulfill that quality and create the love, lover and beloved.
And Allah knows best.
Peace and Blessings,
Salim

He had his angels who were beloved until the 1/3 rebeled. I believe that would be who He loved in the beginning.
