    keep in mind allah use plural of Majesty from all eternity Quran is supposedly allah internal word so from all eternity allah has been referring to himself as plural even though he is not in order to declare and demonstrate his great majesty but notice underline assumption here .. its greater and more majestic to be plural its greater and more majestic to be we than its to be i nevertheless Quran regularly affirm at least in principle that monotheism is superior to polytheism so what can we conclude ? we can conclude that according to allah himself in his eternal word the greatest most majestic deity will be the deity that monotheistic and yet somehow plural i.e not absolute unity but some sort of compound unity According to allah himself in his eternal word the greaterst most majestic deity will not be Unitarian but trinitarian according to islam then the Unitarian God of the Quran just isn't as great or majestic as the triune God of the bible Muslims and i finally have something that we can agree on completely the triune God of the bible is greater and more majestic than the God of the Quran The God of the bible can refer to himself using plural pronoun and real mean it because he exist internally as Father, Son and Holy Spirit The less majestic God of the Quran can refer to himself using plural pronoun but he cant real mean it because even though he admire plurality and regard it as more majestic than singularity he remains forever lonely in his singularity

    The notion that Arabic cannot be translated to English is simply a way of saying that Arabic is soooo mystical and oooo aahhhh! you can't really understand it unless you speak Arabic. Nonsense. English has the ability to directly translate ANY word. It may not be 1 word for 1 word, but using combinations of English words you can describe literally anything you need to There are countless examples in the Koran of why we should NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER associate Allah/God with other dieties (shirk). Yet in this one instance it's ok to call him WE? If Arabic has singular and plural (and it does) singular should be used. Period. This is like saying we should NEVER EVER call Allah blue... and then calling him blue 100 times in the Koran and trying to come up with some ridiculous reason to justify it. Mr. Khan says if "us" is used then "all of us" must be used. That's simply not true. Why does every variation of first, second, third person have to be used to validate any one usage?

    @beensolongg Allah does not have a gender so there is no issue of He or She. Since Quran is the word of Allah in Arabic, and هو is used as a symbol or sign of authority just as نحن (We) is also used as a authority. Allah is the King, the Majestic, Ultimate authority, and thus Arabic language uses the male pronouns, and plural pronouns to demonstrate authority. Just like in this world monarchs and kings refer to themselves as, "We order this," "We decree," etc..

    There were kings who considered themselves god. In the Quran, there is the story of Moses and the Pharoah. The Pharoah thought himself as a god, and Allah sent Prophet Moses to right the Pharoah. As Nouman said, the use of 'We' in the Quran is used royally. Nouman also said, in the same sentence that Allah used 'We', He also used words such as 'Rabb' and 'Ilah' so we will not mistaken on who He was referring to. Himself.

    @beensolongg I should have clarified that in Arabic, there is no "it". Everything is either masculine or feminine, even inanimate objects, just like in Spanish, for example. Oh, and the third rule that makes something feminine is that the word ends in ة So, since there is no "gender free" pronoun in Arabic, either "he" or "she" has to be used. So when I say La Mesa, in Spanish, that doesn't make the table a girl, just like using "هو" in Arabic doesn't make Allah a "boy".

    The “Royal We”: The Queen assumes the “Royal We” for a good reason. She is the Head of the Government in Great Britain; and she is also the Head of the Church of England. (On her crown, there is a Cross). As Head of the Church of England, the Queen views her position as the Ambassador for God on Earth. God is “Royal”; and He (God) rules in the heavens over the affairs of mankind. The Queen is “Royal”; and she (the Queen) rules on earth over the affairs of mankind. Therefore; as the Ambassador for God on Earth, the Queen assumes the “Royal We” to mean “God and I”. The “Royal We” is sometimes referred to as the “Majestic Plural”; because in both cases, the same principles are applicable - God is Majestic and the Queen is Majestic. * While the Queen is the Head of the Church of England, the Pope is the Head of the Church of Rome - The Roman Catholic Church. The Pope, in his capacity as the Ambassador for God on Earth, also invokes the “Royal We” to mean “God and I”. * The position of godhood is the highest conceivable position in all of existence. The next highest position in all of existence is absorbed (wrapped up) in the use of the “Royal We” or the “Majestic Plural” in which a creature (man or woman) assumes a divine connection to God in terms of supremacy, power, knowledge, or otherwise. * The Quran is the only book in which Muslims are mentally trained to see the plural personal pronoun “we” to mean the singular personal pronoun “I”. If you do not believe this, then ask a Muslim to produce one Islamic classical literature (Islamic old book) outside of the Quran in which the speaker (singular) refers to himself as “we” when he (the same speaker) means he alone. No Muslim can produce such a book, because there is no language in human history in which the singular personal pronoun “I” and the plural personal pronoun “we” are used interchangeably to mean the same thing. - Not even in the Arabic language, the supposedly original language of the Quran.

    You are an idiot and he lied to you, The Royal We originated in Rome when Cesar spoke for himself and the state and the Senate on behalf of the senate and the Roman people. And so it made itself into common usage in throughout Europe. Is you allah copying the style of address of the Romans??? We was always meant to be plural even the Royal We.

    I think that this can be very confusing for many people because if this is supposedly "God's words" then why wouldn't people take things literally?? Why does this God make itself more like equal to all by calling itself "We", I don't understand. We is used when people in a group work together, not when you're trying to make a point that people should listen to you and you only. If god is giving words to have different meanings then the whole book shouldn't be taken literally.

    Thank you Kalernor, It's not about combining a pronoun with a verb, but a plural pronoun... "We" and "Us" still mean more than one When these terms are used by royalty it describes the lineage of the royal family, in a democracy it's "we the people". Allah created everything you see and everything you don't see with a word! The word that leaves Allah's mouth is His living word. Alive with Allah's Spirit as Allah imparts His Spirit into His word. This is "The Messenger". Mohammed PBUH was "a messenger" sharing the word of Allah. The Messenger is alive today also known as the Spirit of Truth.

Allah promised us that the words of the Quran can never be changed by humans and I believe Him.

    A king will only say thus we have declared unless he has a council, God doesn't have a council, so the WE being used still to me refers to as more than one. You said always after the word (WE) is used a singular word for god is used to clarify it is talking about one and not more, But in surah 50:38 it says; Indeed we created the heavens and the earth and everything in-between in six days, and we were not even touched with fatigue. This verse is definitely not being plural but rather describing more than one. I shouldn't think it be hard for the writings to have just said I created the heavens and earth in six days. This reminds me or the trinity in the bible if I'm honest, in genuses 1:26 it says let us make man in our image and likeness, in vs 27 it says and God created man in his image. It went from more than one to plural to show you they are equal. It actually would make sense now seeing this. In quran 66:12 it says we blew into her our spirit, our meaning more than one. Also jesus not having a father and coming directly from the breath of Allah means he would be the substance of Allah's breath, meaning he is also supernatural having not even a normal birth. I personally believe there is a lot people are confused about and they are refusing to see what to me is very clear. Just my point of view of what I see and I am seeing, and what makes sense to me and is clear.

Namely Jibreal Alihissalaaam, Mikaeel Alaihissalaam, Israfil Alaihissalaam and Malak Al Maut? Just trying to be more aware..may Allah forgive me if I am wrong.

It’s an honor to them bc they were destined to bring revolution to men. He refers to himself as I before or after every “we” to affirm that he is the only one worthy of worship but surely he would honor the best of his creations in the holy Quran

    I always thought we meant God and his angels in the qur'an because it is known that the angels do much of gods work and even bring wrath to humans if God wills it. So therefore, isn't the we God and the angels? Like we molded you from clay? We brought Idris(Enoch) to a high place? Makes me think that the we is similar to Elohim in the Torah which also means God and his angels.

    Nouman Ali Khan said: "whenever you find the word WE in the quran for God, right before or right after you will find a singular word for him". Quran 15:9 Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian. Quran 16:43 And We sent not before you except men to whom We revealed [Our message]. So ask the people of the message if you do not know. Quran 21:7 And We sent not before you, [O Muhammad], except men to whom We revealed [the message], so ask the people of the message if you do not know. Brother where are the "singular words for him" in the verses above? It beats me why you are trying to explain the verses in the quran when allah says the verses are clear and explained in detail. Quran 6:114 [Say], "Then is it other than Allah I should seek as judge while it is He who has revealed to you the Book explained in detail?" And those to whom We [previously] gave the Scripture know that it is sent down from your Lord in truth, so never be among the doubters. AND THEN YOU HAVE THIS: (Tafsir At-Tabari). S. 3:7 It is He Who has sent down to you [Muhammad (Peace be upon him)] the Book [this Qur'an]. In it are verses that are entirely clear, they are the foundations of the Book [and those are the verses of al-ahkam (commandments), al-fara'id (obligatory duties), and al-hudud (legal laws for the punishment of thieves, adulterers)]; and others not entirely clear. So as for those in whose hearts there is a deviation [from the truth], they follow that which is not entirely clear thereof, seeking al-fitnah [polytheism and trials], and seeking for its hidden meanings, but none knows its hidden meanings save Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in it; the whole of it [clear and unclear verses] are from our Lord." And none receive admonition except men of understanding. OH DEAR!

    Peter Usakah I think you’re confusing what he’s saying and thinking that immediately after each verse, or place where plural is mentioned, it should switch to the singular. If you look at the verses you put you’ll see that they continue in plural when it’s on the same subject matter but immediately after, or before the subject matter, the singular is used. So for the first verse you quoted, you’ll continue to read in the plural until you reach 15:25 “It is your LORD who will gather them all together: HE is all wise, all knowing” For the second one you quoted, the verse immediately before is singular 16:42 “They are the ones who are steadfast and put their trust in THE LORD” For the third you quoted, you’ll continue to read until you reach 21:19 “Everyone in the heavens and earth belong to HIM” You’ll see that when the verses continue on a particular subject the same pronoun is used but when the point is made, it switches to singular. Or like the second verse you quoted, it’s before. Please check the passages and verses above and I hope it brings some clarity. All the best

    To be honest.... the Bible has been written & rewritten by so many different ppl ex... King James wrote his own version...ppl have put the word of God into their own words to try to make sense of what they have read in previous scriptures...and there is a New Testament.. which is bizarre. Seems like the Old Testament was extremely similar to the Torah which was changed and altered by man as well.... in addition to this man has removed scriptures and chapters from the Bible... example... during slavery certain scriptures were taken out of the Bible... to be honest. Most Africans were Muslims before being kidnapped and shipped here to the USA and sold as slaves... then were forced to covert to the western religion of Christianity and stripped of our culture, language, religion, and way of life.. I don’t believe Jesus called himself God. The main thing I don’t understand about Christianity is that Christians are taught to worship one God and practice monotheism but then believe that Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit are the trinity and are one God but three different entities... they also believe God is the father of Jesus. God is no father, no human, he is the CREATOR!!!! Humans are just another creation of Allah... the trinity sounds like a huge contradiction. Hence the reason I inverted to Islam, bc nothing ever made more sense. All of my questions were answered after learning about Islam. Everything that didn’t make sense to me as a Christian was cleared and answered with ease. The biggest confusion I had with Christianity was believing that the devil was an angel. I couldn’t fathom how an angel could sin. I thought they were the purest of the pure when I was Christian. After doing so research the Bible stated that Angels once had free will to sin. Learning out jinn was the most enlightening

    ‘It’ commonly refers to an animal or object but it can also refer to gender neutral people. At the same time, people sometimes refer to their animals or objects as ‘he’ or ‘she’. Very valid. ‘He’ is gender neutral in Arabic but can also refer to male. When my brothers are happy that their sports team won a match they say ‘we won’. But my brothers didn’t win, they just said ‘we’ to show delight. Therefore pronouns are important BUT a unique context can change them.

    And the use of the pronoun "He" is a grammatical he, not designating male gender, since Allah has no gender. It is neither "He" nor "She" literally. The Quran is limited to the grammatical rules of classical Arabic. Which has no neutral pronoun. For modern English translations, I would like to see "It" (a neutral pronoun) used since it is more close to the actual nature of Allah. Since English has different grammatical rules, we can use them to enhance our understanding.
