This is a completely non-scholarly, 100% layman comment so I could be completely wrong: Also, that's why, for us Urdu speakers, it is easier to understand why Allah refers to Himself as "We" often in the Quran. I have seen others asking questions about why Allah is referring to Himself as "We" in the Quran when He is One, but as an Urdu speaker where one sees even a single "person" referring to themself as "we" because they think they have power, status, wealth, etc (not always, there are other 'harmless' reasons also as I mentioned above), then how about The One who is The Only Owner of ALL Majesty and Honor... undoubtedly He can refer to Himself as "We". Allah knows best. EDIT: I didn't even realize which thread I was posting this in and my apologies for posting something so completely unrelated to the OP!
