Quick fact: In the Qur'an, Hazrat Jibraeel (AS) is referred to as Rooh-ul-Quds (the Holy Spirit).

Explanation

The title Rooh-ul-Quds, meaning "the Holy Spirit," is used in the Qur'an specifically for Angel Jibraeel (AS), who was entrusted with the duty of conveying divine revelation (Wahi) to the prophets. This title appears in several verses, including Surah Al-Baqarah (2:87) and Surah An-Nahl (16:102), where Allah states that the Qur'an was brought down by Rooh-ul-Quds. The designation emphasizes his purity and the sacred nature of his mission as the bearer of Allah's message.

Good to know

Hazrat Jibraeel (AS) is one of the four archangels (Malaikah Muqarrabeen) in Islam, alongside Israfeel, Mikael, and Izraeel (AS). He is also referred to by other titles in the Qur'an, including Ar-Rooh-ul-Ameen (the Trustworthy Spirit) and simply Ar-Rooh. His primary responsibility was delivering revelation to all prophets, and he appeared in human form on several occasions, most notably during the first revelation at Cave Hira and during the event of Meraj.
