Ruha d-Qudsha

Ruha d-Qudsha

In Aramaic, Ruha d-Qudsha (רוחא דקודשא in square script; _sy. ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ in Syriac script, "unicode|Rûḥâ ḏ-Qûḏšâ" in Latin script) means "the spirit of holiness" (corresponding to _he. רוח הקודש, "unicode|Rûăḥ ha-Qôdēš", and _ar. الروح القدس, "unicode|ar-Rūḥu 'l-Qudusi").For Jews, Muslims and Syriac-speaking Christians it signifies the Holy Spirit mentioned in both the Quran and the Bible. In Mandaeanism, however, this name refers to an evil female spirit allied with the Jewish God, whom they call Adunay and consider an evil spirit. They believe that Ruha d-Qudsha founded Jerusalem and, together with her sons the seven planets.
