BAB 6 (AL-QUR'AN 2)
WHY GOD SAYS "WE", RATHER THAN "I"?anzal أنزل = "to reveal"
kitaab كتاب = "book"
The Qur'an speaks about anzalnaa al-kitaab أنزلنا الكتاب which means "WE revealed the Book (al-Qur'an).
It does not say anzaltu أنزلت which means "I revealed".
As we have learnt suffix "naa" means "we" and "tu" means "I".
It is WRONG to assume that there must be many GODs because the first person plural "naa" is used here, instead of the first person singular "tu".
In Arabic actually, first person plural "we" or "naa" can be used as a PLURAL OF RESPECT just as we say in Malay "kamu" (instead of "awak") which can refer to a plurality of persons or to only one RESPECTED person.
God has revealed the MIRACLE called the Qur'an, 100% preserved in the original language, inimitable, most beautiful linguistic structures. All RESPECT is indeed due to God who has revealed such Book of Perfection.
Hence, God is Most Worthy to say anzalNAA!
