Postby Voltage » Tue Sep 07, 2010 4:22 pm

Why does Allah sometimes speak in the plural saying "we"?

It is the WE of grandeur and royalty.

Just like royalty, the Kings and Queens of this earth say we the majesty of so and so country decree bla bla bla.

So Allah has more right as He is the King of the world

No, Allah is referring to his himself indirectly because he created everything in the heavens and the earth, so the angels are Allah's property.

Qoraxay, God's pluralization in we is sometimes placed in areas when malaaiks and stuff could not explain.

So Allah's majesty and grandeur is so great they deserve to pluralize his unitary nature?

''We'' was mentioned before in the holy scriptures of Moses and Jesus as Elohim, sadly the christians took this literally.
As always christians fail the monotheistic test :down:

This is a style of speech. It's also a way of respect and glorification. Allah uses only the the plural when he speaks in the first person, never in the second or third person!

Well Quran as u know is a compilation of report from Allaah swt. When Allaah decree Quran to our prophet swa, it was written down and complited together. I think it is a matter of 'respect' to say 'we' rather than 'I", because if u r the reporter, and report or read aloud by saying 'I" it is as if u are being Allaah swt. And as you know, according to Quran --the GREATEST sin is shirik. :up: :clap:
