I can understand why kings, popes, leaders etc., would use "We" in the first person plural (because of their predecessors/successors), but I'm quite surprised that Allah did in the Koran. Anyways, it's no big deal. Thanks for answering.
Why you are so surprised FHC? Doesn't God in the Bible also use "Us" and "Our" to refer to Himself? Jewish and Christian scholars also confirmed the fact that Hebrew language contains this plural of majesty.
When God in Genesis says, in the Beginning GOD created so and so, the Hebrew word for God here is <b>Elohim</b>, which means <b>GODS and not GOD</b>. But the Jews, being truly monotheistic and thoroughly familiar with the idioms of their own language, have never understood the use of the plural to indicate a plurality of persons within the one God.
