As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

The use of the pronoun WE signifies Omnipotence. It signifies more power than one..yet you are one.

Allah uses this to show he has power and knowledge unlike we can ever imagine one being as having.

It does not imply that there are more than One Allah.

We is Omnipotence and that is the best word to describe the usage of the term...

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
