Ibrahim up the line from Sierra Leone, West Africa. He asks why

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

Allah uses vi for himself in the Quran

00:00:13 --> 00:00:14

most of the languages

00:00:16 --> 00:00:21

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

00:00:21 --> 00:00:24

second is while plural or plural of respect.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:27

And

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32

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

00:00:32 --> 00:00:33

in the English language.

00:00:34 --> 00:00:40

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

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

to visit so and so country,

00:00:42 --> 00:00:46

so, you're the queen of England is using the word weak.

00:00:47 --> 00:00:51

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

00:00:51 --> 00:00:55

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

00:00:55 --> 00:00:58

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

00:00:58 --> 00:01:04

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

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07

Minister of India is saying hung Karna chatter here, it

00:01:08 --> 00:01:12

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

00:01:12 --> 00:01:16

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

00:01:16 --> 00:01:22

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

00:01:22 --> 00:01:27

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

00:01:27 --> 00:01:31

language, when Allah subhanaw taala uses the word nothing for

00:01:31 --> 00:01:35

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

00:01:35 --> 00:01:39

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

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

singular.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44

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

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

chapter 112 was the one

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

called who Allahu Allah says Allah when only.

00:01:52 --> 00:01:55

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

00:01:55 --> 00:01:59

referring to himself in the glorious for us. It is the plural

00:01:59 --> 00:02:04

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

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

it is singular.
