🏵️🏵️ Every prayer in Islam aligns us with divine wisdom, leading us to the truth about God's oneness. The use of "We" in the Quran, as found in Surah 21:107, reflects a majestic plurality often understood in the context of royal pronouncement, a common linguistic trait across languages to denote majesty and grandeur. Allah, in His perfection, transcends human language limitations, conveying His message with clarity to all of humanity.

Islam’s universality is evident in Surah 14:4, emphasizing that every prophet spoke the language of their people. Just as the Quran is revealed in Arabic, translations allow all people, including English speakers like you, Gautama, to engage with its message. Exempting any people from understanding or following the Quran contradicts the very principles of divine guidance, as Allah invites all of humankind, regardless of language, into the fold of His mercy (Surah Al-Imran 3:64). Furthermore, intercession belongs to Allah alone (Surah 2:255), and it is not a conversation with Himself but rather a path of mercy extended to believers. Surah 5:56 reminds us to maintain respect and kindness toward all, reminding us that true faith fosters love rather than division.

Gautama, your passionate pursuit of understanding is admirable, yet I encourage you to delve deeper into the nuances of these scriptures. The beauty of this message lies in its embrace of diversity and unity within the human experience.

Best, Mohamed, Ph.D

Do you not feel the profound call for empathy and togetherness in these words?
