(٩٦)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?“And h<strong>is</strong> father Zechariah was filled with the HolySpirit” (Luke 1/67), Peter said, "Brothers, the Scripturehad to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spokebef<strong>or</strong>ehand by the mouth of David.” (Acts 1/16). Allah(S.W) called the prophets and what they bring of th<strong>is</strong>inspiration as the Holy Spirit, as He said scolding the people ofIsrael, "You stiff-necked people, uncircumc<strong>is</strong>ed inheart and ears, you always res<strong>is</strong>t the Holy Spirit. Asyour fathers did, so do you. Which of the prophets didnot your fathers persecute?” (Acts 7/51-52)3- The Holy Spirit <strong>is</strong> also a name f<strong>or</strong> the aid and w<strong>is</strong>dom, whichAllah (S.W) gives to H<strong>is</strong> prophets and others, and the angels <strong>or</strong>others can deliver it.

The passage, as the great critic Espinoza said,‘means a strong wind came from God, and ceased darkness.’M<strong>or</strong>eover, relating the spirit to Allah (S.W) in the last two passages <strong>is</strong>gl<strong>or</strong>ification and esteem, not deifying, as it says, “The mountainsof God” (Psalms 36/6)Those who w<strong>or</strong>ship the Holy Spirit do not accept all the meaningsthat I have menti<strong>one</strong>d.
