multiple gods in the quran?
going through the QUran and bible at the moment. Im sure theres a good explanation but wanted to know what everyone thought what the "we" refers to?:
Surat yusuf (joseph) 12. ayat 2.
"WE have sent it down as an arabic quran, in order that ye may learn wisdom"
Surat yusuf (joseph) 12. ayat 2.
"WE have sent it down as an arabic quran, in order that ye may learn wisdom"

The language of the quran is precise, and the exact grammatical construction of each and every sentence is such, that it leaves no self-contradictions in it - although on surface it does appear to be that way.
E.g. One verse says that islam is the only religion acceptable by God, and then another says that who ever, whether jew or christian will do good deeds, will be acceptable. So apparently that is a contradiction. But when you get down to the actual language, the exact statements are so precise, like legal fine print, that you see it actually has itself covered, and what appeared otherwise, is not actually any contradiction at all !
Being a fan of logic and scientific thought, that to me is the most impressive thing about the quran.
or maybe it was the last queen... the queen mum i believe she was called. there's brits on this site, we can ask them.
That God "delegates" his attributes on his creation is a known fact from elsewhere in the quran, so although we accept and do not question, chances are, there is a very deep, relevant meaning anytime the quran chooses to use "we" instead of I.
Another notable and very interesting use of we appears in Surah Kahf where Khizr declares that "I" decided to sink the boat, "We" decided to kill the child, and "Your loard" decided to fell the wall, but "I" did not do anything by my own accord !
