We know only what the Quran mentions about it and the Quran does say that God had fortified Jesus with the Holy Spirit.
but since God is One and the Holy Spirit was acting on orders from God, we realize that the Holy Spirit was a creature, either an angel or a form of creation we are not familiar with and not really apart of God.
Because if it was apart of God it would not need to act on His orders.
The general consensus is that the Holy Spirit refers to arch angel Gabriel, but there is no verse in the Quran that explicitly says this and this is merely an interpretation and may not be correct.
The most logical assumption then is to say that we know not what it is, but that it acted on Gods orders and helped Jesus Christ on a number of occasions. Including, bringing his soul to his mothers womb.

In the Koran it mentions the Holy Spirit many times. But it means a messenger or a message. For example if a prophet had a dream God would say in the Koran "We sent the holy Spirit in the form of a dream" or it could mean an Angel Example: "We sent the Holy Spirit to you" meaning angel Gabriel. It does not mean God has a 2nd part to him as in Christian theology.

it's a another name of angel gabriel
article from wikipedia:
Islamic interpretations consider the Holy Spirit (Arabic: ruhul qudus) to be another name for the archangel Gabriel, signifying its role as an Agent of Revelation. In Sura 2.97, the Qur'an states that Gabriel delivered the Word of God (Allah) to the Prophet Muhammad. The actual term "Holy Spirit" الروح القدس is used in the following verses in the Qur'an: 2:87;2:253 ;5:110; and 16:102. In these verses, the Holy Spirit is strongly supportive of Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad in their divine missions. The Qur'an also mentions the Holy Spirit in Sura 21:91, yet the term "Our Spirit" is used. The 91st Ayah of Sura Al-Anbiya (21:91) is in clear reference to the Virgin Mary and Jesus, while "Our Spirit" refers to Gabriel. In Islam, angels are genderless and have no will of their own, meaning it is impossible for them to disobey God.

I don't think they believe in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is part of the Christian tri-une God (God in 3, 3-in-one) and they don't believe in Jesus, so I'm thinking they don't believe in the the Spirit.

Muslims beleive that Allah is the supreme being and Muhammed is the prophet who spread his word. The holy spirit is a christian belief. Moslems do not believe in a trinity. They believe that there is only one Allah.

They believe in holy spirit but they don't believe holy spirit and their God is the same. God is still holy spirit's boss.

The Holy spirit mentioned in the Bibe is Jibrail, the same angel that came to Muhammad (peace be upon him) with the revelation verses of Quran.

we suspest it's Angel Gibriel, because at first God talked about supproting Jesus with holyspirit called "Ruh AlQudus"
[87] .... And We gave 'Isâ (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), clear signs and supported him with Rûh-ul-Qudus ......
Quran 2:87
-and again, the holyspirit has been mentioned in the Quran refering to the one who was giving the Quran to prophet Muhammad:
[102] Say Ruh-ul-Qudus has brought it down from your Lord with truth, that it may make firm and strengthen those who believe, and as a guidance and glad tidings to those who have submitted (to Allâh as Muslims).
Quran 16:102
