Revealing the Truth About Islam
And They Ask You About the Spirit (Part 1)
By Usama Dakdok September 2024
Now let us examine the word “spirit” throughout the other 20 verses. Notice that I will be using the order in which the Qur’an is printed today, not in the order Mohammed received these verses as Muslim scholars claim. In Qur’an 2:87, we read: “And indeed, we gave Moses the book. And after him, we sent messengers; and we gave ‘Isa, (false name for
ported 'Isa with the Holy Spirit, meaning the Gospel, and at the same time he taught him the Gospel? Obviously, that in- terpretation does not make any sense. The great Muslim scholar Al Tabari continued in his interpretation by stating that Al Saidi said the word qudus (holy) means blessing. So he, Al Saidi, stated that the word qudus is the Lord himself. This means that when Allah stated in Qur'an 2:87: “and we… supported him with the holy spirit,” that Allah actually meant he himself supported ‘Isa with his spirit? Then that would be Allah’s spirit. Similar to what is written in Qur’an 2:87 is in Qur’an 2:253 which reads: “These are the messengers; we favored some of them above the others. Some of them spoke to Allah, and he exalted some of them by degrees. And we gave ‘Isa, the Son of Mary, the proofs, and we supported him with the holy spirit....” Now let me share with you the interpretation of Al Tabari who stated that when Allah said we gave ‘Isa, the son of Mary, the proofs, Allah meant the miracles which Jesus performed, like healing the sick and the lepers, raising the dead, and other such miracles. As for the interpretation of “we supported him with the holy spirit,” Allah meant the spirit of Allah to be angel Gabreel. So here again, how can the spirit of Allah be Gabreel and does this fit with the rest of the verses of the Qur’an? When we read about the creation of Adam in Qur’an 15:28- 31, Allah stated: “And when your lord said to the angels, ‘Surely I am creating a human from dry mud, from black molded mud. So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him from my spirit, so fall down, worshiping him.’ So all the angels worshiped him except the Devil; he refused to be with the worshipers.” The same message is also repeated in Qur’an 38:71-74: “When your lord said to the angels, ‘Surely I am creating a human from mud. So, when I have formed him and breathed my spirit into him, so fall down to him, worshiping.’ So all the angels worshiped together, ex- cept for the Devil. He was proud, and he was of the infidels.” Notice the words repeated by Allah, “breathed my spirit into him (Adam).” That refers to the spirit of Allah, not angel Gabreel. How do we know? Because the same verses de- clared that all the angels, including angel Gabreel, wor- shipped Adam. Therefore, how can Allah put Gabreel inside Adam to make a living creature out of him and at the same time Gabreel worshipped Adam? The Qur’an did not say that all the angels except the Devil and Gabreel worshipped Adam but that all the angels worshipped Adam. Therefore, the idea that the spirit of Allah is Gabreel is a falsehood and a ridiculous interpretation. We will prove that in more detail in our next article as we continue to investigate the rest of the verses of the Qur’an in which Allah mentioned the word spirit.

Qur’an 17:85: “And they ask you about the spirit. Say, ‘the spirit is of the affair of my lord,’ ...” I received an email from a friend asking me the following question: “Does Allah have a spirit or not? I can’t really find any-
thing about this, though, except for one line somewhere that stated the ‘spirits’ are created by Allah, and he is above such a thing. Can you clear this up for me?” After receiving this question, I searched the Qur’an for the word “spirit.” First of all, I found the original question the in- fidel Jews asked Mohammed in Qur’an 17:85: “And they ask you about the spirit. Say, ‘The spirit is of the affair of my lord,...’” When Mohammed was asked that question, he was in the company of a man by the name of Abd Allah. When a com- pany of Jewish men came by, some of them told the others to ask Mohammed about the spirit. However, some of them said not to ask him. Mohammed stood up, and Abd Allah stood behind him. Abd Allah thought Mohammed was receiv- ing revelation. Mohammed said, “And they ask you about the spirit. Say, ‘the spirit is of the affair of my lord, and you do not receive from knowledge, except a little.’” So the Jew- ish infidels said to one another, “Did we not tell you not to ask Mohammed?” Therefore, the infidel Jews were correct, for neither Mohammed nor Gabreel nor Allah nor any of the Muslim scholars could answer such a simple question. The word “spirit” is mentioned in 21 verses of the Qur’an. As we read these verses and their interpretations by all the so-called Muslim scholars, we discover that there is no un- derstanding in which any Muslim can find to explain the so- called clear word of Allah concerning the spirit. We certainly know that Mohammed and his god, Allah, do not understand the true God of the Bible. Allah declared in the Qur’an that Christians believe in the triune God: the fa- ther, the mother, and the son. We read about this in Qur’an 5:116: And when Allah said, “O ‘Isa, son of Mary, did you say to the people, ‘Take me and my mother as two gods, other than Allah’?” He said, “Praise be unto you. It is not for me that I say what is not true for me; if I had said it, so in- deed, you know it. You know what is in my soul, and I do not know what is in your soul. Surely, you are the knower of the unseen.” I do not believe that Muslims realize how foolish it is to have this question from Allah to ‘Isa (the Jesus of Mo- hammed) in the Qur’an. This is a huge error because now we know that neither Allah nor ‘Isa know the true God of the Bible for no Christian has ever believed in a god of such a foolish trinity of father, mother, and son. Here we see that the Virgin Mary was erroneously substituted as a replace- ment for the Holy Spirit by Allah in the Qur’an. That is why Muslim scholars were in total confusion in their interpretation of the 21 verses in which Allah mentioned the word spirit throughout the Qur’an.
Jesus, it would be Yasua in Arabic, non-Arabic word of He- brew/Aramaic origin) son of Mary, the proofs and supported him by the qudus [holy, non-Arabic word of Aramaic origin] spirit…” Notice that the word “qudus” is a non-Arabic word, which goes against the Muslims’ claim that the Qur’an is writ- ten in pure Arabic. Now let us look at how Muslim scholars interpret or explain the Holy Spirit. According to the great Muslim scholar Al Tabari, he stated: “Allah supported or strengthened or gave victory to 'Isa with the holy spirit.” As for the question of who that holy spirit is, Al Tabari stated that scholars and inter- preters disagree. If you ask why they disagree, the answer is simply because Allah and angel Gabreel never told Mo- hammed who the Holy Spirit is. Let me share with you some of the other interpretations of so-called Muslim scholars. Some of them said that the Holy Spirit is angel Gabreel, as stated by Qatada. Other Muslim scholars claimed that the Holy Spirit is the name which Jesus used to raise the dead. Some other Muslim scholars stated that the Holy Spirit is the Gospel, as stated by Ibn Zayed. However, this interpretation does not make any sense especially when we read what is written in Qur’an 5:110: When Allah said, “O ‘Isa, son of Mary, remember my grace on you and on your mother when I supported you with the holy spirit; you spoke to the people in the cradle and [as] an old man. And when I taught you the book and the wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel,…” Now, how can Allah in Qur'an 5:110 state that he sup-
