The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

In the Holy Quraan it mentions "We." eg:(We have perfected your religion for you) Who does this "We" refer to-is it Allaah alone or Allaah and the Angels or who???

Answer

In Arabic, at times, a singular is expressed in plural due to many reasons.

One possible reason is to express strength and power. Allah is One but His power and strength supercedes every might and power.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
