=== Islam === {{Main|Holy Spirit in Islam}} The Holy Spirit ({{Langx|ar|روح القدس|translit=Ruh al-Qudus}}, "the Spirit of Holiness") is mentioned four times in the [[Qur'an]],<ref>[http://searchtruth.com/search.php?keyword=%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%AD+%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%AF%D8%B3&translator=1&search=1&start=0 Qur'an search: روح القدس.] searchtruth.com.</ref> where it acts as an agent of divine action or communication. The [[Muslim]] interpretation of the Holy Spirit is generally consistent with other interpretations based upon the Old and the New Testaments. On the basis of narrations in certain [[Hadith]], some Muslims identify it with the angel [[Gabriel]] (Arabic {{Transliteration|ar|Jibrāʾīl}}).<ref>{{cite web |title=What Is Meant by the Holy Spirit in the Qur'an? |url=https://www.islamawareness.net/Angels/fatwa_holyspirit.html |website=Islam Awareness |publisher=Sheikh Ahmad Kutty |access-date=November 14, 2018}}</ref> The Spirit ({{Lang|ar|الروح}} {{Transliteration|ar|al-Ruh}}, without the adjective "holy" or "exalted") is described, among other things, as the creative spirit from God by which God enlivened [[Adam in Islam|Adam]], and which inspired in various ways God's messengers and prophets, including [[Jesus in Islam|Jesus]] and [[Abraham in Islam|Abraham]]. The belief in a "Holy Trinity", according to the Qur'an, is forbidden and deemed to be [[blasphemy]]. The same prohibition applies to any idea of the [[Dualistic cosmology|duality]] of [[God in Islam|God]] ([[Allah]]).<ref>Griffith, Sidney H.
