The Qur'an is Allah's way of communicating with us, of directly guiding us on his path. But has that communication actually occurred? Look at any college level "Communications" textbook, and it will tell you that the definition of "communication" is that a message is sent, and that message is received with the understanding that the sender intended.
Every
time Allah uses the plural to refer to Himself, it is based on the
respect and honour that He deserves, and on the great number of His
names and attributes, and on the great number of His troops and angels, taken mainly from Al-'Aqeedah al-Tadmuriyyah by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah
Listening to the Qur'an being recited correctly is enough to soften even
the hardest of hearts and Muslims and non-Muslims alike find it a deeply
moving experience even if they do not understand what is being said....
We all feel touched when we open up a good translation of the meaning of the Quran and we ponder and wonder at the beauty of the words and the deep meanings within. But in reality we are just seeing a glimpse of the real treasure that the Quran is. Imagine how youd feel if you could understand the words of Allah in the form in which they were sent down and not just rely on a translation of the meaning in English. Imagine the power of the words and the directness of the message then! The potency would be awesome!
