The Holy Quran has replied to the question regarding ‘Ruhu (spirit)‘ saying:
قل الروح من امر ربي و ما اوتيتم من العلم الا قليلا
?Say: the spirit (comes) by command of My Lord: of knowledge it is only a little that is communicated to you?. (Al-Quran, Surah Isra, 85)
Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
