Reproduced

* Note: 002:254. . The two-worded رُوۡحِ الۡقُدُسِ‌ phrase has been used in the Holy Qor-aan several times. Translations vary as to the exact meanings of this phrase.

Some have referred to it as The Spirit of Holiness. This would be internal quality infused in the subject which in this case is Jesus Son of Mary.

            Some have referred to it as Holy Spirit or the Arch angel Gabriel or Jibraeel in the Arabic.  This would be an external force applied or outside person deputed to support the subject which in this case is Jesus Son of Mary.

            Either of the two translations appear accurate. They describe a special blessings that the Almighty God conferred on Jesus and specified him in this verse as one of His Messengers.

** Note: Two Arabic words اِنَّ and لَ have very similar meanings. They are used in the same one clause or sentence to create extreme emphasis. The English equivalents for both the words are almost the same. Instead of using the same word twice (‘certainly’, certainly’) in the translation of the same one verse, a more appropriate expression ‘most certainly’ has been used because that conveys better the real intent of the original text clearly. Extreme emphasis has been created this way in many places in the Holy Qor-aan. Examples including this verse can be seen in 014:008, 092:005, 100:007, 100:006; 100:009, 100:012; 103:003.

ثُمَّ اَنۡـتُمۡ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ تَقۡتُلُوۡنَ اَنۡفُسَكُمۡ وَتُخۡرِجُوۡنَ فَرِيۡقًا مِّنۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ دِيَارِهِمۡؕ تَظٰهَرُوۡنَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ بِالۡاِثۡمِ وَالۡعُدۡوَانِؕ وَاِنۡ يَّاۡتُوۡكُمۡ اُسٰرٰى تُفٰدُوۡهُمۡ وَهُوَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَيۡڪُمۡ اِخۡرَاجُهُمۡ‌‌ؕ اَفَتُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِبَعۡضِ الۡكِتٰبِ وَتَكۡفُرُوۡنَ بِبَعۡضٍ‌ۚ فَمَا جَزَآءُ مَنۡ يَّفۡعَلُ ذٰلِكَ مِنۡکُمۡ اِلَّا خِزۡىٌ فِى الۡحَيٰوةِ الدُّنۡيَا ‌ۚ وَيَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ يُرَدُّوۡنَ اِلٰٓى اَشَدِّ الۡعَذَابِ‌ؕ وَمَا اللّٰهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ

Then you were the very people killing some of yourselves
And expelling a group among you from their homes
Overpowering* them with sin and aggression.
And if they come to you as captives you pay for them
And expelling them was unlawful for you in the first place.
Do you then believe in one part of the Book
And you reject some other?
So what (or no) penalty is there for anyone among you
Who does that except humiliation in the life here
And on Judgment Day they will be turned over to severe punishment.
And Allah is not unmindful relative to what you do.
