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.
