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

Illahaay iyo malaiiktah

i think

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

Power and Majesty!

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.

ok

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?

Is this a quiz or are you asking the people?

My mom sometimes say "We don't want this..." And I use to reply "its just YOU who doesn't but I do" god forgive me

is that so . ok thanks for explainning

then it has to do with Gods majesty and greatness

''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

Post examples of the 'We"s in Quran, maybe i can anaylse it for u.

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.
