The Holy Spirit is used in different meanings in the Hebrew Bible, New Testament and the Holy Holy Quran. In the Hebrew Bible, he is represented as the manifestation of divine power, presence and will in the nature as well as in human beings, the cause of the revelation and prophecy. It is he who bestows wisdom and favor to the judges and sages. He is sometimes referred to as an angel. In Jewish tradition, the Holy Spirit is used in the sense of an indeterminate power that safeguards the holiness of the name of YHWH but is not separate from God. In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit is used nearly in the sense of the spirit of YHWH with emphasis on its life-giving, gift-giving, and guidance-providing aspects of the divine spirit. During the period of the church fathers, however, the Holy Spirit was considered as different from God emerging as the third person in the Trinity. In the Holy Holy Quran, the Holy Spirit brings revelation to the prophet and is equal in rank with angels. Called Gabriel, he bestows life and protects viz. seals prophets, saints and pious ones. Study on the various instances of the Holy Spirit in the Jewish, Christian and Islamic Holy Scriptures reveals that they all seemingly are intermediators alluding to the same reality, i.e. the power, presence and will of God, though they may differ from each other in rank.
