Holy Spirit (Islam)

Holy Spirit (Islam)

The Holy Spirit (in Hebrew:רוח הקודש , in Arabic: الروح القدس), sometimes also referred to as the "Holy Ghost", is a sacred being that has been mentioned in all Abrahamic religions. In Islam, the "Holy Spirit" designation is another way to refer to Gabriel, the high-ranked angel who was assigned by God to deliver his revelation to all apostles and prophets. He is also the angel who delivered the Annunciation to Mary and also delivered the Qur'an to the prophet Muhammad in the cave Hira in Mecca.

The Qur'an has referred to Gabriel both by name, and by using the "spirit" designation.
