Question:
Abu Abdullah. And likewise the noble Qur'an is also a delusion, so what we know is what is established by your exaltation, every soul, and if not by that.
Answer:
The naming of Jibril (peace be upon him) as the Spirit is due to strength, because the Spirit can mean strength, and He supported him with a Spirit from Him, meaning with strength. So Jibril was described as the Spirit because of his strength, peace and blessings be upon him, for he is strong and trustworthy, as Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) said, "Possessor of strength," meaning His word, teaching him the new with the strength of the Spirit. Jibril is the Spirit in the sense that he is strong.
The Spirit is also used to mean that by which hearts live, and the Qur'an is that by which hearts live, so it is called a Spirit. The Spirit is also used for the soul that animates the body, by which the body lives. The Spirit has various applications, and each application differs from the other; the meaning of one does not come to the other. Yes.
