Fariq Naik – Why does Allah refer to Himself as We in the Quran

			Ibrahim abdulai from Sierra Leone,
West Africa. He asks why Allah
		

			uses vi for himself in the Quran
		

			most of the languages
		

			there are two kinds of plural one
is the plural of number and the
		

			second is while plural or plural
of respect
		

			and
		

			the pool of number is the one that
is more commonly used for example,
		

			in the English language,
		

			when the Queen of England says we
plan to visit America or we wish
		

			to visit so and so country,
		

			so, here the Queen of England is
using the word weak.
		

			But here, it is not the plural of
number, but it is Royal approval
		

			or the plural of respect.
Similarly, in the Hindi language,
		

			when the Prime Minister of India
or when the President of India
		

			says hum Karna chahti hum. Which
means we now, when the Prime
		

			Minister of India is saying, hum
Karna chatter here, it
		

			is not the pool of number but it
is Royal pool and the pool of
		

			respect and any person who's well
versed with the English language,
		

			he will know based on the context
that the word used by the Queen of
		

			England v is the plural of
respect. Similarly in the Arabic
		

			language, when Allah subhanaw
taala uses the word nothing for
		

			himself, referring to himself in
the Glorious Quran. It is not the
		

			pool of number, but it is a royal
plural accrual of respect it is
		

			singular.
		

			Allah subhanaw taala clearly says
in the Glorious Quran. So the last
		

			chapter 112 was the one
		

			called who Allah who I can see
says Allah when and only
		

			when Allah subhanaw taala uses the
word we that is not know referring
		

			to himself in the glorious for us.
It is the plural of respect or
		

			royal plural and it is not the
plural of number, but it is
		

			singular.
