From Spirit to God
(There is no other god besides God)
[The Final Testament/Quran 6:115] The word of your Lord is complete, in truth and justice.
Nothing shall abrogate His words. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.
With this understanding in mind, and how Submission to God alone has been the only message
God delivered through all His messengers, we can easily conclude that it is indeed the only
religion that has been delivered, authorized, and approved by God. This is stated clearly in God's
Final Testament:
Abstract:
The Holy Spirit has been mentioned in the Quran several times and many questions have been
raised about the identity of the Holy Spirit in the Quran. Many of the questions come from our
Christian brothers and sisters who wonder if the Holy Spirit in the Quran is the third of their
Trinity beliefs.
Quran is very clear in denouncing Trinity (5:73) and affirming the Oneness of God Almighty.
(112:1-4). The Holy Spirit in the Quran is clearly defined as the angel Gabriel who has been the
angel-messenger between The Almighty God and the human beings, e.g. Mary, Jesus, and
prophet Muhammad.
We should also know that the Arabic word "Roh" has been used in the Quran to mean the
"revelation from God" as in 16:2, 17:85 and 40:15 and also to mean the soul in many other
verses, e.g. 21:91, 66:12, 15:29, 38:72....etc
Introduction:
In reference to Gabriel, the Arabic Quran calls him; "Ruhhil-Qudus" (Holy Spirit), "Ruuhanaa"
(Our Spirit), "Ruuhul-'Amiin" (The Honest Spirit) and "Al-Ruh' " (The Spirit) . Thus, when reading
the verses in the Quran, the whole Quran, we see that Gabriel is the Holy and Honest Bearer of
Revelations. We learn from 2:97 that these references are indeed talking about Gabriel.
2. To understand the connection between the Angel Gabriel and calling him the Spirit, the Holy
Spirit and the Honest Spirit in the Quran we should also read all related
verses, 16:102 & 26:192-193.
Love for Spirit:
[Quran 2:97] Say, "Anyone who opposes Gabriel should know that he has brought down this
(Quran) into your heart, in accordance with God's will, confirming previous scriptures, and
providing guidance and good news for the believers."
[Quran 16:102] Say, "The Holy Spirit has brought it (Quran) down from your Lord,
truthfully, to assure those who believe, and to provide a beacon and good news for the
submitters."
[Quran 26:192] This (Quran) is a revelation from the Lord of the universe.
[Quran 26:193] The Honest Spirit (Gabriel) came down with it.
The Holy Quran Narration:
[Quran 2:87] We gave Moses the scripture, and subsequent to him we sent other
messengers, and we gave Jesus, son of Mary, profound miracles and supported him
with the Holy Spirit. Is it not a fact that every time a messenger went to you with
anything you disliked, your ego caused you to be arrogant? Some of them you rejected,
And some of them you killed.
[Quran 2:253] These messengers; we blessed some of them more than others. For
example, God spoke to one, and we raised some of them to higher ranks. And we gave
Jesus, son of Mary, profound miracles and supported him with the Holy Spirit.
[Quran 5:110] God will say, "O Jesus, son of Mary, remember my blessings upon you
and your mother. I supported you with the Holy Spirit, to enable you to speak to the
people from the crib, as well as an adult. I taught you the scripture, wisdom, the Torah,
and the Gospel.
[Quran 19:17-19] While a barrier separated her from them, we sent to her our Spirit. He
went to her in the form of a human being. She said, "I seek refuge in the Most Gracious,
that you may be righteous." He said, "I am the messenger of your Lord, to grant you a
pure son."
[Quran 78:38] The day will come when the Spirit and the angels will stand in a row.
None will speak except those permitted by the Most Gracious, and they will utter only
what is right.
3. [Quran 97:4] The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by their Lord's leave, to carry
out every command.
It is interesting that God chose to mention the Spirit and the angels" in these last two
verses. In the Arabic language it is not unusual to specify part of a whole group to
emphasize the significance of that part. Quran has many examples like these, e.g..
In 55:68 God talks about fruits, dates and pomegranate to emphasize the last two kinds
of fruits.
Gabriel and Spirit Geometry theory:
It is also interesting to know that the name Gabriel" in Arabic (Gbryl) has the same
geometrical value of the word "Al-Ruh' " (the Spirit), both being 245. G=3, B=2, R=200,
Y=10 and L=30, therefore 3+2+200+10+30 = 245. While the word Al-Ruh' (The spirit)
has, A=1, L=30, R=200, U (waw) = 6, H'=8, therefore 1+30+200+6+8 = 245
We should also know that the Arabic word "Roh" has been used in the Quran to mean
the "revelation from God" as in 16:2, 17:85 and 40:15 and also to mean the soul in
many other verses, e.g. 21:91, 66:12, 15:29, 38:72....etc
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the "Holy Spirit" in the Quran refers to the angel Gabriel and
has nothing to do with Trinity or part of a Trinity. Trinity is denounced in
the strongest language in the Quran.
