7) A Spirit From Allah (روح من الله)
The Son of Mary is real man and real Spirit of Allah according to the Qur'an. He was born of the Spirit of Allah and remained holy and sinless during his life. He is the "walking spirit" in human form.
Furthermore, the Holy Spirit always cooperated with him to accomplish his wonderful miracles. The Son of Mary proclaimed in the Gospel, "The Spirit of the LORD is upon me, Because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD." (Luke 4:18-19) The Spirit of God executed the Almighty's will in full harmony with, in, and through Christ.
Today, Christ lives with the Holy One in heaven, because he has returned to the place from which he was sent. Whoever opens himself to his spirit will be revived, receives "guidance and light", and is kept under the protection of the Almighty.
Qur'anic references to Christ as the Spirit of Allah: Suras al-Nisa' 4:171; -- al-Anbiya' 21:91; -- al-Tahrim 66:12.
