In the Qur'an, the Holy Spirit is also known as the Spirit of/from [[Allah]]. This article attempts to explain who or what the Holy Spirit is in relation to the angel [[Gabriel]] and compares this to Biblical explanations of the Holy Spirit and Gabriel, as the Qur'an claims to confirm the previously revealed scriptures. | In the Qur'an, the Holy Spirit is also known as the Spirit of/from [[Allah]].

This would imply that Gabriel/Jibreel is intended as the meaning for Allah's Spirit in the following Quran verses: | |||
{{Quote|2=So, when I have made him and have breathed into him of Gabriel, do ye fall down, prostrating yourselves unto him.}} | {{Quote|2=So, when I have made him and have breathed into him of Gabriel, do ye fall down, prostrating yourselves unto him.}} | ||

{{Quote|2=And Mary, daughter of 'Imran, whose body was chaste, therefor We breathed therein something of Gabriel. And she put faith in the words of her Lord and His scriptures, and was of the obedient.}} | {{Quote|2=And Mary, daughter of 'Imran, whose body was chaste, therefor We breathed therein something of Gabriel. And she put faith in the words of her Lord and His scriptures, and was of the obedient.}} | ||
''' | '''Identity of Jibreel''' | ||
This leaves open the question of whether Gabrial/Jibreel is he the Spirit of Allah's revelation, Allah's "breath of life" as was given to Adam, or the fertilizer of Mary (or all three). | |||
