“And remember in the Book Mary: when she withdrew from her family to an eastern place, she screened herself away from them, whereupon We sent to her Our Spirit, who appeared to her as a well-proportioned man. She said, ‘Indeed, I seek refuge in the All-Merciful from you, if you are God-fearing.’ He replied, ‘I am but a messenger of your Lord, to grant you a pure son.’ She said, ‘How shall I have a son when no man has touched me, nor have I ever been unchaste?’ He said, ‘So it shall be. Your Lord says, “That is easy for Me; and We shall make him a sign for mankind and a mercy from Us.” The matter has been decreed.’ So she conceived him and withdrew with him to a distant place. Then the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree, and she cried, ‘Would that I had died before this, and been forgotten, utterly forgotten!’” [Maryam: 16–23]
And the Exalted said:
“She who guarded her chastity—We breathed into her of Our Spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples.” [Al-Anbiyāʾ: 91]
And He said:
“Mary, daughter of ʿImrān, who guarded her chastity—so We breathed into it of Our Spirit; she believed in the words of her Lord and His scriptures, and she was one of the devout.” [At-Taḥrīm: 12]
Thus the divine scriptures confirm one another. Yet your assertion that the Holy Spirit is the substantive Spirit of Allah—that is, His eternal, pre-existent life—contradicts every one of Allah’s books and prophets. None of them ever interpreted the Holy Spirit as a divine attribute, whether essential or otherwise.
