The essence of the facts

   The Quran uses the word ‘We’ when quoting Allah. Does that mean that Muslims believe in more than one God?
Islam
 adheres to uncompromising monotheism. It teaches that God is One and 
indivisible. In the Quran, God often refers to Himself as "We". But it 
does not mean that there is more than one God. The reference of God to 
Himself as "We" in many Quranic verses is necessarily understood in the 
Arabic language to denote power and grandeur, as opposed to the more 
intimate singular form, "I", used in specific instances. 
In some 
languages there are two types of plural form. One is related to quantity
 and used to refer to two or more persons, places or things. The other 
kind of plural is one of majesty, power and distinction. For example, in
 proper English, the Queen of England refers to herself as ‘we’. This is
 known as the ‘royal plural’. Rajeev Gandhi, the ex-Prime Minister of 
India used to say in Hindi, "Hum dekhna chahte hain". "We want to see." 
‘Hum’ means ‘we’, which is again a royal plural in Hindi language. 
Similarly, when God refers to Himself in the Quran, He sometimes uses 
the Arabic word 'nahnu', meaning ‘We’. It does not indicate a plurality 
of number but the plurality of power and majesty.
The oneness of God 
is stressed throughout the Quran. A clear example is in this short 
chapter “Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, 
Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like 
unto Him.” (Quran 112:1-4)

	Muslims worship a God that is different from the one worshipped by Christians and Jews. This might be due to the fact that Muslims often refer to God as "Allah". This concept is false, since "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for the One true "God" Who created the universe and all humanity. Let there be no doubt - Muslims worship the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus. However, it is certainly true that Jews, Christians and Muslims all have different concepts of Almighty God. For example, Muslims - like Jews - reject the Christian beliefs of the Trinity and the Divine Incarnation. This, however, does not mean that each of these three religions worships a different God - because, as we have already said, there is only One True God. Judaism, Christianity and Islam all claim to be “Abrahamic Faiths”, and all of them are also classified as “monotheistic.” However, Islam teaches that other religions have, in one way or another, distorted and nullified a pure and proper belief in Almighty God by neglecting His true teachings and mixing them with man-made ideas. Islam calls upon people to return to the one true God and to worship and obey Him alone. Islam teaches that God should be approached without intermediaries. That is because the merciful all-knowing God is completely in control of everything that exists and that He can bestow His grace and mercy on His creatures as He pleases; therefore no intercession, atonement or incarnation is necessary. Arabic speaking people of all religions refer to God as "Allah". For example, if you pick up an Arabic translation of the Christian Bible you will see the word "Allah" where "God" is used in English. Therefore, Allah is not the god of only the Muslims, but the same God worshipped by all monotheistic faiths. This idea that "Allah" is different from "God" is illogical since it is tantamount to saying that the French worship a different "god" because they use the word "Dieu", that Spaniards worship a different "god" because they say "Dios" or that the Hebrews worshipped a different "god" because they called Him "Yahweh"! The Quran, which is the divine scripture of Muslims, was revealed in the Arabic language, so Muslims use the word "Allah" for "God", even when they are speaking other languages. A more literal translation of "Allah" into English might be "the one- and-only God" or "the one true God". It should be clearly understood that what Islam is primarily concerned with is correcting humankind's concept of Almighty God. What people are ultimately going to be held accountable for at the end of Day of Judgment is not whether they preferred the word "Allah" or the word "God", but what their concept of Him is. The true concept of God is clarified only within the message revealed by Him. The last message sent by God, or Allah, is the Quran. بروفيسورة تتحدى ذاكر نايك وتقول له اثبت انني على خط�£ وسوف ادخل الاسلام .. تحدي خطير جداً !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMVEBe-MBjQ Amazing Vid \| British-Angolan Footballer Converts to Muslim-Part 1-'LIVE' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHflJYWmgpE Christian Converts to Islam.
