? for Muslims: If Allah is not Trinity, then why does the Quran show that when Allah speaks He uses "We" & "Us"?

Howdy…

I’m not being judgemental…but find your username and religion to be in contradiction. Just asking.

Hi Kadaveri,

Wonderful explaination, But can you explain this to me. In Quran chapter 2 WE is used as many as times as mentioned just below. Where as I too is used almost 11 times, ie some parts its WE ad other parts its I, so if your explaination is to be excepted, than I should not have been used at all. Does it mean allah when used WE was trying for higher respect and I was lower respect? Would appreciate your explaination.

This is only from one chapter that i was able to trace.

Surat 2: Al Baqarah.
WE
34,35,38,49,50,51,52,53,56,57,58,59,60,63,65,66,73,83, 84, 87, 93, 99, 121, 125, 130, 144, 146, 151, 155, 159, 211

I
30, 33, 40, 41, 47, 122, 124, 150, 152, 160, 186

Have a lovely day.

God refers to Himself with ‘We’ in certain places and ‘I’ in other places for poetic reasons. ‘We’ creates an aura of awe and majesty, whereas ‘I’ of intimacy. So for example in Surah Al-Hijr God refers to Himself with ‘We’ throughout, starting with “Never did We destroy a people without a term decreed beforehand” because God is expressing his power, up until 15:49, where God says “Tell My servants that I am The Forgiving, The Merciful” because He’s expressing His closeness to the believers.

In case you didn’t notice, this section/subforum is called NON-Catholic.

This is where we discuss all sorts of religions outside of Catholicism.

Typically, Catholics that are attracted to the nature-oriented parts of Wicca. They generally regard Mary as a goddess (in station, if not essence) or they see God in a more feminine form. Every believer will have different views on things.

There’s even a tradition for Christian Wicca.

The line separating the two is actually fairly easy to blur.

Sooooo…false Catholics then. Good.

To make it easy for people,
from memory i think the Quran offers that Allah sends a messenger to every nation in its own tongue or words to that effect.

So all of the natively Arabic people would be an authority on he definition of Quranic words.

But you all have free will so if you read it as trinity go for it.

Hello, I am not a scholar so i don’t really know why we use the words I and We, I think it was because the translations are just that, translations…the original text is obviously arabic, I think those words are used, like in the bible…our of respect. God refers to himself as I and We as a formality. It also clearly states that a muslim is one who does not say “one in three” (i.e.-trinity) That is a clear difference in belief…May Allah forgive me if I have said anything wrong. I was once Christian and now I am a Muslim. I wish we could agree to disagree sometimes instead of bashing each other…we all have a choice in what we are to believe, its the most personal decision we make for ourselves.

Muslims have 99 names of Allah,(FYI) like" The Most Merciful", “The Most Loving”, “The Most Benificent” to name a few…and so on, These names are all attibutes of the one Allah (God) Dont be confused. If you are really interested in what Islam is about, make sure you read from someone who is reputable and is muslim…too many books are biased. Even when I read books about islam, I have to be careful who writes them, some “Muslims” have wrong messages. Keep your minds open to the truth of what Islam is about. Peace. May Allah forgive me for any wrongs I may have written.
