What is the wisdom behind using the pronoun "We" in Quranic verses such as: (We created them and strengthened their frame), and (Indeed, We Ourselves have sent down to you the Qur’an in stages), and (Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or are We the ones who bring it down?), and (Is it you who create it, or are We the Creators?)?

The pronoun "we" is the plural of "I," and is originally used for a group of speakers, whether male, female, or both. When a singular speaker uses the pronoun "we," it indicates the speaker's self-aggrandizement. In the Holy Quran, Allah Almighty's use of this pronoun, despite Him being One, indicates His self-aggrandizement, and He is deserving of greatness and majesty.
