Why does God say We in some places the Quran ?
-
in your opinion isra and miraj are fake ,,, fair enough the starting of this chapter is telling the believers how (praised one) recieved revelation.. the isra and miraj event started from the middle of this chapter here some points for you to ponder.. and plz before giving opinions verify your opinion in the light of quran,, here is your answer of your opinion, check these verses,,
5313 And indeed, he saw him in another descent.
5314 At the ultimate point. ( ultimate point ,, where about)
5315 Near it is the eternal Paradise.( eternal paradise cant be in earth)
5316 The whole place was overwhelmed. (which place exactly)
5317 The eyes did not waver, nor go blind.(where exactly eyes get trick)
5318 He has seen from the great signs of his Lord. ( which signs , two discussed here as sidra tu muntaha(lot tree) and eternal paradise)..chapter started from the way how prophet recieved revelation and ,, chapter link in another ocassion where prophet ascends to heavens ,,honestly tell me one thing my brother do you really know how to study quran ,, or you have some doubt about the verses like flat earth...
Salam imran,
I think this discussion about isra miraj deserve its own thread, if it is not discussed already. What do you think?

i still wonder if there is a more logical explanation about this curiosity. at this moment, my answer to that curiosity is still the same.
May ALLAH increase our understanding and iman
Are you familiar with the use of Royal We by religious authorities or monarchs?
It is a form of Nosism https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_we pluralis majestatis. Check this wikipedia article.Also look at pluralis excellentiae https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluralis_excellentiae stemming from Hebrew
If you are familiar with this then it shouldn't be hard to accept that these cultures adopted this notion of Royal We from Our Majesty.

Illogical. And vanity, completely primitive.

I disagree with your statement. Allah is the Owner of Majesty, Honor and Glory and it does not denote vanity, but Exaltedness and Absolute Purity and Nobility and Regard.
Pluralis Majestasis and Pluralis Excellentiae are vanity when human beings like popes and monarchs use them to imitate The Most Gracious, not when Our Lord uses them. They are honorifics and to Allah belongs The Honor ALL.Read these following ayaats in context karim denotes nobility, regard

Falamma samiAAat bimakrihinna arsalat ilayhinna waaAAtadat lahunna muttakaan waatat kulla wahidatin minhunna sikkeenan waqalati okhruj AAalayhinna falamma raaynahu akbarnahu waqattaAAna aydiyahunna waqulna hasha lillahi ma hatha basharan in hatha illa malakun kareemun

Whoever desires the honor, then for Allah (is) the Honor all. To Him ascends the words good, and the deed righteous raises it.

Pluralis Majestasis
You said you were writing your own translation and you have been researching arabic and hebrew and have become somewhat of an expert.
Pluralis Excellentiae which is from ancient Hebrew grammar should be familiar to you?https//en.wikisource.org/wiki/Gesenius%27_Hebrew_Grammar/124._The_Various_Uses_of_the_Plural-form

There's a portion of the Quran that speaks those closets to ALLAH and angels holding his throne. Also the book of revelations in the bible speaks of martyrs under his foot or something???
Just know we is most likely ALLAH giving command to his angels and the science and laws of our world are made with balance for set purposes. -
Salam,
From my understanding of 2217 "Indeed, those who have believed and those who were Jews and the Sabeans and the Christians and the Magians and those who associated with Allah - Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed Allah is, over all things, Witness."(meaning that in some way, shape or form, the revelations sent to these groups were from Allah). If we look at the Avestan(magian ) texts and the Vedic(Sabean and those who associated w/ Allah) texts, we may be able to glean a meaning.
In the Avestas, there is the concept of Ahura Madza(One of the Beautiful names/ the Avesta Equivalent of Allah) and his Seven Amesha Spenta( I believe that these correspond to Michael, Jibril and the other so-called ArchAngels) please see this info from wikipedia page for further information
Ahura Mazda Middle Persian Ohrmazd (NP Hrmuzd) is the only God.
Vohu Manah MP Wahman (NP Bahman) of cattle (and all animal creation)
A?a Vahi?ta MP Ardwahi?t (NP Urdbihi?t) of fire (and all other luminaries)
X?ara Vairya MP ?ahrewar, of metals (and minerals)
Spnta rmaiti MP Spandarmad, of earth
Haurvatt MP Hordd (NP Xurdd) of water(Harut)
Amrtt MP Amurdd (NP Murdd) of plants(Marut)https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amesha_Spenta
Only Allah truly knows, I'm interested in what everyone else's thoughts are.

Hello the Quran rejects any equals to ALLAH he's the highest. Have you ever ran into any personal journals like the books of prophets from the king James bible that speak about the straying of people some books speak of war and wide spread fear and others simply speak of ingratitude.
This are journals kept to teach why some people make up things untrue in religion.Why would ALLAH have an equal? Or why does this group sugar cost blasphemy?

Even my interpretation of Quran does not equal Rabb with us. Rabb encompasses everything, but we are a share of that everything.
In magnitude Rabb is far greater than me or you, but it is like a shared platform, symbiotic, and Rabb does not have any reason to refer to each share as "slave". Rabb can use affectionate addressing for us.
Be well

Allah is mentioned in the quran 2662 times (according to quran code software). add each number to the corresponding number i.e 2+6+6+2 = 16. Then from each chapter read the 16th word starting from chronological order. This is what it comes up with
and truth partner recited disbelief by among you that (you) man worship we more
lord (god) they were (be, exist) with the inspirationusing google translate and almaany website
It seems a little confusing. But please do your own research and come up with an outcome. And please tell us what you have found or if the above message is correct or not. Allah knows best

Do you see in context clues that ALLAH sent an Angel to do the "we" part?
Compared to verse related to planning which usually don't contain we.Also defining "we" helps we who the party of ALLAH. Who's in the party of ALLAH? Do the angels count as believers? What part do you play?
Maybe ALLAH wishes to teach is to identify with the Quran?
