Is it permissible to attribute the Spirit (Ar-Rūḥ) to Allah Almighty in a manner befitting His Majesty, or must it be denied of Him, taking into consideration the statement of Ibn Taymiyyah: "None of the Prophets expressed Allah’s life as Allah’s Spirit, so whoever interprets the words of any of the Prophets concerning the term ‘Spirit’ as referring to Allah’s life has lied"?

The attribute of Allah Almighty is al-rawḥ (with a fatha on the ra), meaning mercy, and not al-rūḥ (with a damma on the ra) as one of His attributes. The messengers and the Sunnis are in agreement that the spirit is created and brought into existence, not ancient. Its attribution to Allah Almighty, as in "the Spirit of Allah," is an attribution of ownership, exclusivity, and honor, and does not imply that it is a part of Him or an inherent attribute of His essence. The statement that Allah has a spirit because He is living is a pure error; for the life of Allah is an inherent attribute that is inseparable from Him, and the prophets did not express the life of Allah as being His spirit.
