Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
1049. Commentary: What is meant by “the Spirit”? It is said that it refers to Jibril (alayhis salam), or a creation higher than the angels who sees the angels while the angels do not see it, or the human souls. However, the Noble Qur’an explicitly clarifies that what is meant by it is indeed Jibril al-Amin (the Trustworthy), and due to his honor and rank, he is mentioned separately after the angels. Allah the Exalted says: “The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down” [الشعراء 193 : 26] — “This (Qur’an) has been brought down by the Trustworthy Angel.”
