Why Allah used 'I' , 'We' and 'He' to refer to himself in the Quran ?


While reading the Quran you may found that Allah speaks about himself in the Quran and refer to himself by using 'I' , and in other verses he used 'We' or  'He'.

This may lead some people to be confused, specially when the haters try to find a mistake in the Quran and claiming that there is more than one god because of 'We' or there is another god because of 'He'.  After reading this no one will confuse you or talk as an expert in the Arabic language in front of you.


In the Arabic language there is a feature of literary style, this rich language allow the person to speaks about himself and refer to himself by using the pronoun nahnu (we),  for respect or glorification. The using of " We " in Arabic and the Quran is like the " Royal WE " in the English language, it's 'We' for royalty. and when the Queen or the King says "We" this doesn't mean that there is another Queen or another King.


The other two styles that is used in the Arabic language is ana (I), or the third person huwa (he). All this three styles are used in the Quran and in the Arabic literary as well.


Grammatically, Allah has no gender, it's not male or female. And the word " He " is used only out of respect and dignity not for gender.

Also in the Arabic grammar, the name 'Allah' is singular all the time, this noun can't be plural and it means  "The Only One to be Worshiped".

Claiming that when Allah refer to himself by using 'We' or 'He' in the Quran can mean that there is another god or other gods is grammatically wrong, the reason for this claim is the lack of knowledge about the Arabic language grammar.
