The answer

The support of the Holy Spirit (Jibril, peace be upon him) for the believers is firmly established in the religious texts, such as the Prophet's prayer for Hassan ibn Thabit: "O Allah, support him with the Holy Spirit." This is support from Allah through His angel servants and has no relation to the concept of the "Holy Spirit" among Christians, who deify it and believe in its divinity. In Islam, on the other hand, he is a noble angel from among Allah's creation; Allah alone is worshipped, and He alone, glory be to Him, is invoked.
