What does it mean for the Holy Spirit to be with Hassan ibn Thabit, taking into account the difference in understanding between Muslims and Christians regarding the concept of the Holy Spirit?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
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.
