Holy Spirit (Islam)

The Holy Spirit (Arabic:روح القدس‎, Rūḥ al-Qudus) also known as Gabriel (Jibrayil) described in the Islamic faith is mentioned several times in the Qur'an, and is generally interpreted by Muslims as being the same Holy Spirit that is referred to in both the Old and the New Testaments of the Bible. The Arabic phrase "al-Qudus" (القدس) translates to English as "the Holy One" or "the Exalted One". Jerusalem, considered a holy site in Islam, is referred to in Arabic as "Bayt al-Muqaddas" (بيت المقدس), a term which has the same phonetic root as the Arabic phrase "al-Quds". "Al-Quddūs" is one of the 99 Names of God in Islam.
