| Summary: | The Holy Spirit is one of the angels which has an material entity but can be assimilated in the form of human individual and gives the message of God to the prophets. Some of his attributed functions like his ontological status or his epistemological and psychological role in the life of humanity are commonly accepted by the Muslim and Christian theologians. But some of his ascribed properties like being the third member of the Godhead or his role in the Baptism have been rejected by Muslim theologians. This Study tries to illustrate the issue in the light of Islamic and Christian texts and then to answer some controversial disputed questions about the Holy Spirit. |
