But if they turn away, We have not sent thee as a guardian over them. Thy duty is only to convey the Message. And truly when We cause man to taste of mercy from US, he rejoice therein. But if an evil befalls them because of what their hands have sent forth, then lo! man is ungrateful.

The use of first person plural noun (We) is the sign of greatness and magnificence of the person (entity) who is speaking and this use is most appropriate and befitting to God. Arabs say that the reason for the use of first person plural noun is considered as proof of greatness that great people generally are not alone. The servants, attendants and other people are always around them to fulfill their needs. That is why they always used the pronoun We and the use of this word is a metaphor for greatness.

In this respect, whereverin the words of God plural noun is used it reminds us about His greatness and magnificence and we start thinking about those apparent and hidden powers of the universe, which are subordinate to Him. In this way our belief in Tauheed become stronger and our attention towards the sanctified self becomes more.
The Glorious Qur'an is the Word of Allah as revealed to His Prophet, Muhammad, peace be on him his progeny and companions

God doesn't force anyone to believe in Him. We have a duty to speak the truth, but we are not responsible for whether or not they believe it. Some people accept only God's merciful nature, and they happily receive that portion, but when they have to take responsibility for their wrongdoing, they forget the mercy.
This seems to mean that some people only accept a partial view of God. They accept that part of God which blesses them through no effort of their own, and they reject that part of God which requires them to be responsible for their behavior.
But God is absolute in His nature. There is no difference between His mercy and His punishment. We cannot choose the portion which suits us best, nor can we love God only when He is being merciful. God is all-loving, so even when He is punishing us, it is for our benefit. Therefore, even His punishment is mercy. We should understand this, and be grateful whether we are being rewarded or punished.

The Qu'ran was written by Mohammed.
Mohammed read the Bible and plagiarizes many piecemeal verses from The Bible.
He imitates, but is incapable of creation on his own.
Allah is of his own creation.
Neither Mohammed nor Allah performed any miracles.
Neither prophesied or have any of their own prophesies been fulfilled.
Allah is not immortal...holy...or God Almighty.
God Almighty, The God of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob is not Allah.
Mohammed says in The Qu'ran that Allah calls himself "The Most Proud One" , "The Greatest of All Deceivers".
Since Satan calls himself those names as well, Mohammed must know and believe that the Allah created in The Qu'ran is also known as Satan.

the message is only as good as the scrutiny with which it is received and one is better to taste the food not the fork .
better then contrived verse is the understanding of human kindness without guile. Do good will not god awful things
and you will learn to appreciate life for what it is not for what some wish it to be .
peace through understanding not through death

i'll take a guess. it seems that your duty/obligation is to only tell the Message to man. you are not responsible for his response to the Message. man may have consequences that may displease him (he is ungrateful). i am not sure who "We" is but they are capable of giving mercy to others which is always a welcoming occurrence to anyone. what do you think?

Why does Allah refer to himself in the plural sense? Does he have a son and a holy ghost standing beside him??? ><><>

nothing, it is NOT the Word of God
Read the Word of the LIVING God, the Holy Bible

God's telling you that your religion is a lie, and that Islam is a book of fiction, and mythology. Listen carefully.

God isn't telling us anything in that verse because he didn't write it.
