the Holy Spirit

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q 2: Why did the one who came after 'Isa (peace be upon him) not have a name instead of the Holy Spirit?
A 2: The Holy Spirit is a name for Jibril (peace be upon him). As for 'Isa (peace be upon him), he is the servant of Allah and His Messenger, His word which He cast to Maryam, and a spirit from Him. He was called "the Spirit" because Allah created him without a father, rather by His word, which is His saying, Exalted is He: "Be," from the spirit that the angel breathed into Maryam without a father. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
