Helo Ande, firsly I must say welcome to this forum!

    Your plea is a good signal of a sincear person in what you believe. I take your quote seriously; using understanding is the way forward.

     Do you believe there is only one God ruling the entire universe? I’ve ask that question because in Islam we were thought that if there were more than one God there would be confusion in the universe, each one will fight for their portion to rule, what to creat and what not to creat, ect.  Do you believe that?

Hi Truth , a warming name , of good intent , your reply is so encouraging. And yes there is only One , and He is God of us All , and teaches us.

My own firm Faith in God is now to help others find their Faith ,and to listen and understand more of many things.  this letter I was writting I think has turned into the post I should reply with , I wanted to give a decent reply , please forgive me if it seems too much , in my greatest hopes this post rings true with yourself.

In loss we find The Spirit of God

Us all here are all the same , we are all made of the same flesh and blood , the same as all human beings.

What makes us different , is our own individual Spirits, it gives us all our own individual personalities , our own charismas ,our own capability of spreading warmth  to those around us.

Where does this Spirit come from , it is there when were born , and grows and becomes more fuller during our lives , and indeed peoples Spirits can become confused and hurt , and create problems for those around them , but some peoples Spirits become like a burning beacon of good , and these people put so much joy in ourselves , calm us , and strengthen us.

When we die , our flesh withers , but what of our Spirit , it remains.

Our Spirit remains, we all feel it , those who have lost loved ones , we feel it clearer and brighter than at any other time before, and yes whilst we hurt so deep to the core from the loss , we can gently take calming from the great warm beacon of light from the Spirit, that will help us and strengthen us as our own Spirits grow through and understand more.

And whilst some may not believe in God , you are aware of Spirit, and it is this Spirit between us all in which we are united , the whole of us , in unity , and in Love, may you gently take comfort from the concept of God , for the understanding of the Spirit , which is written  within pages very sublty of all religious books, and is full of Truth and Love in the understanding of our own individual Spirits , that help us find peace in ourselves from all, it is Gods Love , and it reaches out in warmth , and comforts even those who think they dont believe. This is the Truth in The Spirit of God , somehow , mysteriously writen in great lengths and depths throughout ALL , and is very very real  , and this is how I have my Faith in God

The real lessons on many aspects of life, what is right and what is wrong and why , are slowly revealed the more we seek , if we seek in Truth we will find the Truth written by God , but you ask me do I believe in one God , well , yes , but i know that i will never be able to comprehend that absololoute enormity of what the ALL is , my mind is not capable, I know, all I know is I know it is , for it is God , and Gods word , and understanding the various Truths in Gods word is all i can do , i know God is , but i cant tell you what God is , except for apparently everything , for myself, i draw comfort from knowing I dont need to know the whole picture , just my part , which to me as many of us is to have Truth.

I read another post on this site, someone was trying franticly to find the word of God written ,and was having problems , he seemed like he couldnt hear , though he searched in earnest of desire to hear God speak , but to hear Gods word , you must be these things pure and true to your own Spirit in all Truth to hear and understand what lessons are given us. To seek these things without Truth with yourself can only touch on the an awareness of the True Word , and is as so , it is with Hope we seek and find our Faith , with Truth and Love for All , that we find The Spirit of God , and can then hear. It is hard at times to learn the lessons of Truth with ourselves , at times we think we have done no wrong , but gently I think we realise we have , in various ways , and on full understanding we eventually just bow our heads down in acceptance of God, and find fault in ourselves , for we can not be as perfect as God , our lessons are never ending.

I think when you do hear the word of Truth in God though , that the true books its written in are there written for us all, it is there in many different ways and speaks to us all , to our individual selves on specific parts of ourselves, at various situations through our lives , but I think that as said through this post , that if you arent these things true to the core in all Love that you will not hear the Truth,of that particular lesson ,  but mearly gaze on it through a mist , and i feel that it can cause confusion and frustration when not understood , it All can not be for us all , because we are not as big as it All , we can never comprehend it all , just our part , it talks to us all individually in our own situations , and on realising the truth contained in many writtings , how can God not be believed in , for what created such wisdoms , of which i have such little understanding.

God is All , those who believe believe , and if God is All , God is in All , or God would not be All , as He Is, even if we dont understand it , I accept it, and my only hope from writing all this , is that it may help someone just get that final bit of understanding that clinches to them the simple Truth of Gods word and is there for us all to listen to when we choose.

I thank you so much for your reply , I prayed for encouragement for 3 days , for at times I feel like I am so low for daring to think I might possibly have a little understanding , but to hear a genuine reply like yours , makes me feel like it is Truth , and that you and many others both seek and hear Truth , and in this you have my highest respect , and together we all stand by God , and help him help us lay at ease the confusions in the world , in all their many ways.

I wish you well Truth , and all who may read

My thanks to God for all our lessons

    Ande, open your mind to the real truth, I hope this article helps:

    Spirits really is a supernatural entity, a supernatural being that does not have a physical body, for example some are call, ghost, and demon, Jinn and angel etc. In reality they are in a form of conscious energy.

   In the Greek Septuagint O.T. (LXX) pneuma is for spirit and in Hebrew Ruah is for Spirit and in Arabic Rooh is for Spirit.

    In Islam we understand them as the human spirit, jinn and angel. This is what the word of God informed us of them. Read this article to refresh your mind, I have written it some tine ago:

v  THE HUMAN SPIRIT:

The Human’s spirit is that which Allah (S) created for each person at the beginning, we were and are spiritual being and we were sent here on earth at our appointed time until the Day of Judgment.

 Allah (S) said:

Ø      فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ (38:72)

Ø  Faitha sawwaytuhu wanafakhtu feehi min roohee faqaAAoo lahu sajideena (Qur’an 38:72)

Ø  "When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him." (Qur’an 38:72)

When Allah (S) says: “We breathed into him of my spirit!”  Does that mean the spirit that Allah (S) bread into Adam (S) is Allah (S) or part of Allah (S)? No! How do we know that? Allah (S) gives us the answer in his Noble Book the Qur’an, He mentioned:

Ø      يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الرُّوحُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ صَفًّا لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرحْمَنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا (78:38)

Ø  Yawma yaqoomu alrroohu waalmalaikatu saffan la yatakallamoona illa man athina lahu alrrahmanu waqala sawaban

Ø  “The Day that the spirit and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none shall speak except any who is permitted by (Allah) Most Gracious, and He will say what is right.” (Qur’an 78:38)

On the Day of Judgment the Spirit (Rooh) and the angels will stand forth in ranks in front of Allah (S). If the spirit (Ruh) was Allah (S) then that would mean on the Day of Judgment Allah (S) will stand forth in front of himself which is incorrect. When Allah (S) used the term “My Spirit” it simply means everything belongs to Allah (S), example: My throne, My universe, My servants, My angels, My Spirit etc.; all was created  by Allah (S) for a purpose.

That spirit which Allah (S) breathed into Adam (S) is the spirit he created for Adam (S) and after that he created all the spirits of Adam’s descendants at the beginning. They were and are spiritual being and they were sent here on earth at their appointed time until the Day of Judgment. It is mentioned in His Noble Book the Qur’an:

Ø  “When thy Lord drew forth from the Children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves, (saying): “Am I not your Lord (who cherishes and sustains you)?” They said: “Yea! We do testify!” (This), lest ye should say on the Day of Judgment: “Varily, we have been unaware of this”

Ø  Or lest ye should say: “It was Our fathers before us may have taken false gods, but we are (their) descendants after them: wilt Thou then destroy us who took others as partnesrin worship along with Allah, and we were (merely their) decendants after them; will you then destroy us because of the  deeds of men?”  Al-A'raf (The Heights) 7:172-173  

 All the children of Adam’s were created at the beginning in spirit (Rooh)and were testifying concerning the one true God-Allah (S) that He is their Lord, so that, on the Day of Judgment they will have no excuses.

It is also in the bible, Prophet Solomon is reported in Proverbs 8:22-27 (NIV) to have said:

Ø  "22 The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old; 23 I was appointed from eternity, from the beginning, before the world began. 24 When there were no oceans, I was given birth, when there were no springs abounding with water; 25 before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth, 26 before he made the earth or its fields or any of the dust of the world. 27 I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,

 According to Job 38:4 and 21 (NIV), God addresses Prophet Job as follows:

Ø  "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. 5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it?

Ø  21 Surely you know, for you were already born! You have lived so many years!

Why we do not remember what happen in the beginning? Allah (S) tells us in the Noble Qur’an:

Ø  By the time, verily Man is in lost, except such as have faith, and do righteous deeds, and (join together) in the mutual enjoining of truth, and of patience and constancy. (Q.103:1-3)

By the passing of time: Time begins with Allah’s (S) creations and we were created in the beginning to witness the one true Creator Allah (S) before we were place here on earth. We then  become forgetful and ungrateful of the Creator Allah (S), we are in a state of lost or forgetfulness by the passing of time, and to get back there we have to put our trust and have faith in Allah (S) by following His reminder (The Qur’an and the prophet’s (S) Sunnah)

Allah (S) said:

Ø      وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى (20:124)

Ø  Waman aAArada AAan thikree fainna lahu maAAeeshatan dankan wanahshuruhu yawma alqiyamati aAAman

Ø  "But whosoever turns away from My Message (Dhikr), verily for him is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment. He will say: "O my Lord! why hast Thou raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)?" (Allah)) will say: "Thus didst Thou, when Our Signs came unto thee, disregard them: so wilt thou, this day, be disregarded." 20:124-26 (Y. Ali)

The Arabic word there is “dhikr” which mean “reminder” and it translates as “Message” by Y. All. So the Qur’an is the “reminder” and it reminds us of whom we are and where we came from where we have to go and how to get there.

v  THE HOLY SPIRIT

Now that we understood what is a human spirit, the next question what is the Holy Spirit? It simple, all spirits that comes from Allah (S) is Holy. However, the title “Holy Spirit” was given to the messenger of Allah (S) “Jibreel/Gabriel (S)”. The scholar of Islam explains:

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: the majority of scholars said that the Holy Spirit  refers to Jibreel (peace be upon him), and that Allaah called him al-Rooh al-Ameen, Rooh al-Qudus and Jibreel."  (Daqaa'iq al-Tafseer, part 1, p. 310)

         Proof of that is in Qur’an, Allah (S) commanded the prophet (S) true Gabriel:

Ø  “Say: Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel-for he brings down the (revelation) to thy heart by Allah's will, a confirmation of what went before, and guidance and glad tidings for those who believe,-“ (Qur’an 2:97)

Ø  Qul man kana AAaduwwan lijibreela fainnahu nazzalahu AAala qalbika biithni Allahi musaddiqan lima bayna yadayhi wahudan wabushra lilmumineena (Q.2:97)

  In the above verse is say Gabriel (S) brought the revelation. In the verse below it says the “Holy Spirit” brought the revelation which means Gabriel (S) is the “Holy Spirit” (Roohu alqudus):

Ø      قُلْ نَزَّلَهُ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ مِن رَّبِّكَ بِالْحَقِّ لِيُثَبِّتَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَهُدًى وَبُشْرَى لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ (16:102)

Ø  Qul nazzalahu roohu alqudusi min rabbika bialhaqqi liyuthabbita allatheena amanoo wahudan wabushra lilmuslimeena

Ø  “Say, the Holy Spirit has brought the revelation from thy Lord in Truth, in order to strengthen those who believe, and as a Guide and Glad Tidings to Muslims. (Qur’an16:102)

Although Gabriel (S) has the title “Roohu alqudus” (Holy Spirit) in another verse he was called “Spirit (Rooh)” alone in short and was translates as “angel” and that was at the announcement to Mary of birth of Jesus (S), it read:

Ø      فَاتَّخَذَتْ مِن دُونِهِمْ حِجَابًا فَأَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْهَا رُوحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًا سَوِيًّا (19:17)

Ø  Faittakhathat min doonihim hijaban faarsalna ilayha roohana fatamaththala laha basharan sawiyyan (Qur’an 19:17)

Ø  She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent her our angel, and he appeared before her as a man in all respects. (Qur’an 19:17)

The word used there is “ilayha roohana”. The reason why it translates as “angel” is because it was Gabriel (S) who visits Mary .Spirit doesn’t take form as a man! That is how Angel Gabriel (S) appears on earth when he comes in contact with human being; he appears as a human being. The verse below conforms that it was Gabriel (S):

Ø      إِذْ قَالَتِ الْمَلآئِكَةُ يَا مَرْيَمُ إِنَّ اللّهَ يُبَشِّرُكِ بِكَلِمَةٍ مِّنْهُ اسْمُهُ الْمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ وَجِيهًا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ (3:45)

Ø  Ith qalati almalaikatu ya maryamu inna Allaha yubashshiruki bikalimatin minhu ismuhu almaseehu AAeesa ibnu maryama wajeehan fee alddunya waalakhirati wamina almuqarrabeena

Ø  “Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah.” Q.3:45 (Y. Ali)

The word used there is almalaikatu ( the angels).

The bible says the same thing:

Ø  “And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,  27To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.” Luke 1:26-27

However, in Matthew 1:20 it mentioned:

Ø  “But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.” Matthew 1:20

There is a misunderstanding of the usage of word by the scholars. In Joseph’s dream, the angel of the Lord was Gabriel (S) and he said: “for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.” Now, because the word Holy Ghost used there the scholars of Islam took it for Gabriel (S) and that is because Allah (S) address Gabriel (S) as Holy Ghost (roohu alqudus) as I have explained above, but look what Allah (S) says in the Qur’an:

Ø  “And (remember) her who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her of Our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples”. (Qur’an 21:91)

Ø      وَالَّتِي أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيهَا مِن رُّوحِنَا وَجَعَلْنَاهَا وَابْنَهَا آيَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ (21:91)

Ø  Waallatee ahsanat farjaha fanafakhna feeha min roohina wajaAAalnaha waibnaha ayatan lilAAalameena (Qur’an 21:91)

Ø  Here also:

Ø      وَمَرْيَمَ ابْنَتَ عِمْرَانَ الَّتِي أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِنَا وَصَدَّقَتْ بِكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّهَا وَكُتُبِهِ وَكَانَتْ مِنَ الْقَانِتِينَ (66:12)

Ø  Wamaryama ibnata AAimrana allatee ahsanat farjaha fanafakhna feehi min roohina wasaddaqat bikalimati rabbiha wakutubihi wakanat mina alqaniteena (Qur’an 66:12)

Ø  “And Mary the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity; and We breathed into (her body) of Our spirit and she testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of His Revelations, and was one of the devout (servants).” (Qur’an 66:12)

Allah (S) said: “We breathed into (her body) of Our spirit!” When the bible used the word Holy Ghost, it is referring to a Spirit from Allah (S) and when Allah (S) used the term “My Spirit and Our Spirit” that does not in any way mean the Spirit is Allah (S) or part of Him as what the Christian’s Scholar are saying that the Holy Ghost is God Almighty. When Allah (S) used the term “My Spirit” it simply means everything belongs to Allah (S), example: My throne, My universe, My servants, My angels, My Spirit etc.; all was created  by Allah (S) for a purpose.

 This verse below clearly shows that Allah (S) does not referrers to Himself when He used the term “Our Spirit” (min roohina):

Ø      يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الرُّوحُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ صَفًّا لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرحْمَنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا (78:38)

Ø  Yawma yaqoomu alrroohu waalmalaikatu saffan la yatakallamoona illa man athina lahu alrrahmanu waqala sawaban

Ø  “The Day that the spirit and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none shall speak except any who is permitted by (Allah) Most Gracious, and He will say what is right.” (Qur’an 78:38)

Jesus (S) was described as a Spirit proceeding from Allah (Roohun minhu) but he is not Allah (S):

Ø      يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لاَ تَغْلُواْ فِي دِينِكُمْ وَلاَ تَقُولُواْ عَلَى اللّهِ إِلاَّ الْحَقِّ إِنَّمَا الْمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُ أَلْقَاهَا إِلَى مَرْيَمَ وَرُوحٌ مِّنْهُ (4:171)

Ø  Ya ahla alkitabi la taghloo fee deenikum wala taqooloo AAala Allahi illa alhaqqa innama almaseehu AAeesa ibnu maryama rasoolu Allahi wakalimatuhu alqaha ila maryama waroohun minhu…(Q.4:171)       

Ø  “O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a Messenger of Allah and His word (BE), which He bestowed on Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from Him (Roohun minhu)…(Q.4:171)    

And Allah (S) strengthens Jesus (S) with “Rooh-alqudus [Gabriel (S)]”:

Ø      إِذْ قَالَ اللّهُ يَا عِيسى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ اذْكُرْ نِعْمَتِي عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى وَالِدَتِكَ إِذْ أَيَّدتُّكَ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ (5:110)

Ø  Ith qala Allahu ya AAeesa ibna maryama othkur niAAmatee AAalayka waAAala walidatika ith ayyadtuka biroohi alqudusi (Qur’an 5:110)

Ø  Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy spirit… (Qur’an 5:110)

Also:

Ø      وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ وَقَفَّيْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِ بِالرُّسُلِ وَآتَيْنَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَأَيَّدْنَاهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ (2:87)

Ø  Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba waqaffayna min baAAdihi bialrrusuli waatayna AAeesa ibna maryama albayyinati waayyadnahu biroohi alqudusi (Qur’an 2:87)

Ø  We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of apostles; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit… (Qur’an 2:87) 

It is also in the bible according to Matthew3:16

Ø  And Jesus, when he was baptized…lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him… Matthew3:16

Note: The Spirit of God there is not God Almighty! It is Gabriel (S) comes from God Almighty and he descended like a dove and lighting upon him.

Allah (S) also strengthens the Believers (Muslims) with spirit from Himself (roohin minhu):

Ø      لَا تَجِدُ قَوْمًا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ يُوَادُّونَ مَنْ حَادَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَوْ كَانُوا آبَاءهُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَاءهُمْ أَوْ إِخْوَانَهُمْ أَوْ عَشِيرَتَهُمْ أُوْلَئِكَ كَتَبَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الْإِيمَانَ وَأَيَّدَهُم بِرُوحٍ مِّنْهُ وَيُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ أُوْلَئِكَ حِزْبُ اللَّهِ أَلَا إِنَّ حِزْبَ اللَّهِ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ (58:22)

Ø  La tajidu qawman yuminoona biAllahi waalyawmi alakhiri yuwaddoona man hadda Allaha warasoolahu walaw kanoo abaahum aw abnaahum aw ikhwanahum aw AAasheeratahum olaika kataba fee quloobihimu aleemana waayyadahum biroohin minhu wayudkhiluhum jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha radiya Allahu AAanhum waradoo AAanhu olaika hizbu Allahi ala inna hizba Allahi humu almuflihoona (Qur’an 58:22)

Ø  “Thou wilt not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, loving those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even though they were their fathers or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred. For such He has written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with a spirit from Himself. And He will admit them to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, to dwell therein (for ever). Allah will be well pleased with them, and they with Him. They are the Party of Allah (Hezbullah). Truly it is the Party of Allah that will achieve Success.” (Qur’an 58:22)

And Allah (S) said He:

Ø      رَفِيعُ الدَّرَجَاتِ ذُو الْعَرْشِ يُلْقِي الرُّوحَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ عَلَى مَن يَشَاء مِنْ عِبَادِهِ لِيُنذِرَ يَوْمَ التَّلَاقِ (40:15)

Ø  RafeeAAu alddarajati thoo alAAarshi yulqee alrrooha min amrihi AAala man yashao min AAibadihi liyunthira yawma alttalaqi (Qur’an 40:15)

Ø  “Raised high above ranks (or degrees), (He is) the Lord of the Throne (of Authority): by His Command doth He send the spirit (of inspiration) to any of His servants he pleases, that it may warn (men) of the Day of Mutual Meeting,” (Qur’an 40:15)

But he Allah (S) also said when they ask thee concerning the spirit (of inspiration). Say:

Ø      وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُم مِّن الْعِلْمِ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً (17:85)

Ø  Wayasaloonaka AAani alrroohi quli alrroohu min amri rabbee wama ooteetum mina alAAilmi illa qaleelan (Qur’an 17:85)

Ø  ‘The spirit (cometh) by command of my Lord: of knowledge it is only a little that is communicated to you, (O men!)’" (Qur’an 17:85)

 Note: All spirits that proceeded from Allah (S) are holy, thus, they are Holy Spirits!

 It is mentioned in Qur’an 42:51 :

Ø  “It is not fitting for a man that Allah should speak to him except by inspiration, or from behind a veil, or by the sending of a messenger to reveal, with Allah’s permission, what Allah wills: for he is most high, most wise.” (Q.42:51)

That verse is very important to clarify how revelations come. It mentioned three ways: By inspiration, or from behind a veil, or by the sending of a messenger to reveal.

·         By inspiration: receiving the message without seeing any one (hearing from the inside and having vision).

·         From behind a veil: The ascension of Muhammad (S) to the Heaven where he (S) spoke with Allah (S) behind a veil.

·         By the sending of a messenger to reveal: Gabriel/Jibreel (S) come as a man.

The God of the bible has (Holy) Spirits by the thousand. It is mentioned in Rev.4:5

Ø  “And out of the throne preceded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.” Rev.4:5

Ø  And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. Rev.4:6  

What are these eyes? They represented Spirits:

Ø  …and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. Rev.5:6

Ø  And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.  Rev.4:8

Eye represents “spirit” and those spirits are spirits from God Almighty and they are Holy. What are they doing? They are praising God Almighty saying: “Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty”.

So we can see God Almighty has Holy Spirits by the thousands! The Spirit (Ruh) and the angels will stand forth in front of Allah (S):

Ø      يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الرُّوحُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ صَفًّا لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرحْمَنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا (78:38)

Ø  Yawma yaqoomu alrroohu waalmalaikatu saffan la yatakallamoona illa man athina lahu alrrahmanu waqala sawaban (Qur’an 78:38)

Ø  “The Day that the spirit and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none shall speak except any who is permitted by (Allah) Most Gracious, and He will say what is right.” (Qur’an 78:38)

So as you see Ande, don’t be confused and believe God is talking to you.

 And another point God is not the All; He is in Heaven, the word of God said so. Do Christians not believe that Jesus (S) is in Heaven sitting at the right side of God’s hand? To do that he ascended to the heavens where God Almight is; God is not in Human!

You are really a confused child and your simple truth is just and idea pupping up in your mind. I do not mean to offend you but that is the truth.

Peace!
