أَحَدٌ
(Transliteration)
Qul huwa Allahu
ahad

==> Say: He is Allah, One of <==
Let's look deeper at "Ahad -
أَحَدٌ
Using Arabic root: ا ح د (From Arabic word "أَحَد")
One (Of)
أَحَد، ج آحَاد، المؤنث: إحْدى
One (Of)
In some dialects أحد and واحد are used in the same manner.
[pronunciation: ʼaḥad]
[keyword]| Examples | لا أحد من...not one of/none of
في إحدى الرسائل in one letter
أَحَدُهُم one of them
في أحد الشوارع on one of the streets
لا أحد يحب no one likes

أَحَدُهُما one of (the two of) them
أَحَد المُعَلِّمينَ one of the teachers

أَحَد أَعْضاءِ المَجْلِسِ a member of the council
آحاد الأُلُوف [CA] a few thousand; (i.e. between 2000 and 9000, as opposed to عشرات الأُلُوف , tens of thousands, and مِئات الأُلُوف , hundreds of thousands; |

Instead of Allah using singularity, he uses plurality ("We") in the Quran.
Now the question is; "One of" ==> what?
