The answer

Allah Almighty refers to Himself in the Qur’an in the singular or plural form (We, Indeed We) for glorification. He never uses the dual form. These forms, also used by kings for glorification, do not indicate multiplicity but rather grandeur and the abundance of His names, attributes, hosts, and angels. If these verses pose a difficulty, their interpretation must be referred back to the definitive verses that affirm the Oneness of Allah, such as His saying: (And your God is one God. There is no deity except Him, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) and (Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One").
