روح القدس

In Abrahamic religions, the Holy Spirit, also known as the Holy Ghost, is an aspect or agent of God, by means of which God communicates with people or acts on them.

In Judaism, it refers to the divine force, quality, and influence of God over the universe or over his creatures. In Nicene Christianity, the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. In Islam, the Holy Spirit acts as an agent of divine action or communication

The word spirit (from the Latin spiritus meaning "breath") appears either alone or with other words in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and the New Testament. Combinations include expressions such as the "Holy Spirit", "Spirit of God", and in Christianity, "Spirit of Christ".[1]

The word spirit is rendered as רוּחַ (ruach) in Hebrew-language parts of the Old Testament.[2] In its Aramaic parts, the term is rûacḥ.[3] The Greek translation of the Old Testament, the Septuagint, translates the word as πνεῦμα (pneuma – "breath").[2] This is the same word used throughout the New Testament, written originally in Greek.[4]

The English term spirit comes from its Latin origin, spiritus, which is how the Vulgate translates both the Old and New Testament concept.[5] The alternative term, "Holy Ghost", comes from Old English translations of spiritus
