Quoted from the "ISLAM REVEALED"


JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO ISLAM

JESUS IS ENDOWED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

 The Quran affirms that Jesus Christ was specially empowered by and endowed with the Holy Spirit.

 The substance of these verses, according to Muslims, is that Allah gave Jesus in His person a spirit, and this spirit supported Him in His personality.  But Muslim scholars differ in their explanation of the Holy Spirit's supporting role.
 Al Saddi and Kaab wrote, "The Holy Spirit is Gabriel, and his support of Jesus was by being His companion and friend, helping and accompanying Him wherever He went, until He was taken up into heaven."
 Ibn Jubair explained, "Spirit of the Holy is the supreme name for Allah and by it Jesus was raising the dead."
 Ibn Abbas announced, "As it was the spirit which was breathed into Him and the Holy One is Allah so He is the Spirit of Allah."
