I'm a new Muslim. Questions about the Holy Spirit (about Gabriel) I'm from USA

[muslim153]

Grammatically in Arabic is "the holy spirit" rather "the spirit of the holy" (like meaning the slave of Allah-the spirit who is property of Allah)? So the holiness came from God and is rather an attribute of Allah? Rather holiness is attributed to Allah?

[muslim153]

Like saying "the spirit who is property of the one who is holy (the holy one Allah)"?

[muslim153]

Are angels called spirits in Islam or just Gabriel? I'm white, i don't speak Arabic-so, I'm just trying to understand. I've studied the Bible in Hebrew and Greek. I'm just trying to understand all i can about the Holy Spirit in Islam. Ty. Salaam.

Respected sister,

Imaam as-Suyooti رحمة الله عليه says in "Jalaalayn", explaining the Aayah wherein "Rooh-ul-Qudus" (what people in English refer to as the "Holy Spirit") is mentioned:

وَأَيَّدْنَاهُ** قَوَّيْنَاهُ {بِرُوحِ الْقُدُس** مِنْ إضَافَة الْمَوْصُوف إلَى الصِّفَة أَيْ الرُّوح الْمُقَدَّسَة جِبْرِيل لِطَهَارَتِهِ يَسِير مَعَهُ حَيْثُ سَارَ

"And We aided him (i.e. Nabi `Eesaa عليه السلام) [strengthened him] with Rooh-ul-Qudus [attaching the qualified noun to the adjective/quality itself, meaning: Ar-Rooh Al-Muqaddasah (The Holy Spirit), and this is Jibreel, (and he is named this) on account of his purity. He travels with him (i.e. Nabi `Eesaa عليه السلام) wherever he goes (when he was on this Dunyaa).]" [Tafseer of Aayah 87 of Soorah al-Baqarah.]

So according to Imaam as-Suyooti رحمة الله عليه, the grammatical structure of this Aayah is not saying that Jibreel عليه السلام is the "Rooh" (spirit) of Al-Qudus; rather, it is saying he himself is the Rooh (spirit) that is al-Qudus (holy).

Is it clear?

If it is what I think the question is referring to

I think it is just a title of reverence just like how Allah calls Prophet Isa his spirit.

I heard this from Sheikh Omar Suleiman I think

With regards to the title of Nabi `Eesaa عليه السلام, namely, "Roohullaah" (The Rooh of Allaah), what it means is that he is the Rooh chosen by Allaah Ta`aalaa over the Arwaah (plural of Rooh) of many from among the creation.

Yes, its not some white dove which appears, lays a deposit and then flies off... according to some Christian exegetes, this is what it is.
