Why does the Quran say: "We"?
Question
Why does the Quran say: "We" for example, "it is He Who Makes the stars (as beacons)for, that you may guide yourself, with their help, through the dark spaces of land and sea, WE detail OUR signs for people who know" (Surah Al-An'am v97) - as you can see it say "WE", i just like to know why it says that, should it not be "ME" or "I", also the "our" part as well. Thank you
Answer
The word 'We' in the Qur'aan refers to Allah alone. The plural is used to emphasise strength and power of Allah.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
