This is actually the correct answer. God has a council of beings around Himself (angelic & spiritual) who work for Him, which are called “Al-Mali’ul-‘Al’ā” (The Supreme Council/The Divine Assembly/The Highest Elite Chiefs) which even the Bible talks about. God doesn’t need them, but merely chooses to use them just as He chose to create & use us-and they carry out God’s desired actions, including driving the clouds and other natural phenomenon (as the Qur’an frequently mentions) which is why God says things like “WE have sent down rain from the sky” since it was His spiritual subordinates that also participated in this action. The same goes for revealing Scripture & Revelation like the Qur’an (see Surah Al-Qadr), which is why God says “WE have sent down the Qur’an” and so on, since Gabriel and other angels took part. Hence these are all somewhat of a “team effort” (with God being in full control of course), which is why the plural “We” and “Us” and “Our” is used. So in fact it IS a literal plurality of beings, but it doesn’t make those other angelic & spiritual beings ‘gods’ or worthy of worship in any way, shape or form. They are merely “honored servants” (‘ibādun mukramūn’) as the Qur’an calls them, who are under God’s command, and have no knowledge or power of their own but what they are given. This is why the ancient peoples before us were so lost & misguided-they worshipped the angels and spirits (jinn) as Gods and divine beings (the polytheistic pantheons of old), whereas the Qur’an clarifies to us that they are merely servant-creations of God. It doesn’t deny their existence, or even their influence on the world, but merely denies their alleged “divine” status which many people have falsely labeled them with. The Qur’an reminds us that God alone is perfect, unique, and worthy of worship-so we should serve Him alone, just as these angelic & spirit-beings themselves do.

This is wrong, when Allah spoke to Musa, he used We, and we know He spoke to him directly, not through an angel. Understanding it this way would give a trinitarian an argument against you. The reason is only one, it is for grandiose.

Hello thank you very much for your very informative and helpful videos on Quran and Arabic. I have noticed recently that in recitation of Quran, Arabs place a Kasrah where there is a sokun. E.g. I would have said "fa'bodni" whereas I think you pronounce it as "fa'bodeni". Am I correct or is my hearing bad? Thank you again

He actually said fa'bodni when he read the Ayah yet there are some cases when we use kasrah instead of sokun which of them is when you have two sokun lined up so you have to change the first sokun into a Kasrah to make it easier and better for pronouncing.

Your absolutely right. Long time ago a non Muslim asked me using plural and singular about Allah in Quran. My answer was, Using plural for a reason either for greatness and respect of Allah or include Allah, prophets and angels. for example Allah is a boos or principle commands prophets and angels for a duty. So their goal is the same to work together for humanity and religion. In many language including English using plural for respect, but for others not for self.

HE is HIMSELF and that means HE is neither like anything nor anything is like HIM. The arabs denoted HIM as Allah, which literally refer to as The Rab(The God) which is incorrect. The sentence There is no God but Allah is telling us that HE is not God but Allah. The word Allah in this sentence refers to all the absolute names and attributes, which are the substances with which creations come into existence(appears). The word WE used in the verses refers to HIS absolute names and attributes.
