The Greek Word Paraclete In The Bible
Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) said: "If you love me keep my commandments and I will pray to the Father, and he shall send you another comforter, that he may abide with you forever" (John - 14:15, 16)

It is not befitting to the majesty of Allah (God) that he should beget a son. Glory be to him (God) when he determines a matter, He (God) only says to it "Be" and it is. Verily ALLAH (God) is my Lord and your Lord: Him therefore serve ye: this is a Way that is straight" (Quran
