What make u so sure its the holy spirit...because the book said so.....
Likewise I believe Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the comforter because HE said so....
Cos you believe in the book and I believe in Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him)....FAIR ENUF!!!
And what made him so great...cos he had achieved what other prophets did not...by leading its people to pray to God that is Allah even after he is gone....

In which part of the Qur'an does it say that Muhammad is the Comforter that Jesus described? In the book of John, chapters 14, 15 and 16, Jesus promised that He would send the Holy Spirit, otherwise known as the Spirit of Truth or the Comforter. Jesus promised a spirit and not a human being like Muhammad. So, did Muhammad assume that he was the Comforter? If he did, then he was wrong. The Comforter is a spirit and not a human being.
Other prophets that Islam recognizes are Adam, Noah, Abraham and Moses. All these prophets talked to God directly but in the case of Muhammad, Allah did not talk directly to him. The Qur'an was given to him by an angel named Jibreel or Gabriel. Why? Why did Allah not talk directly to Muhammad in all the 23 years that Jibreel gave the Qur'an to him? Does this make him so special?

He was the final messenger of God. He also came down to all the people. The other prophets came only to thier people.
Really, look at this
"Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."[Gospel of Matthew 10:5-6]

Jesus in the New testament is a much greater person ethically and in all other ways than Muhammad or the Old Testament prophets. I cannot see how any unbiased person would not see that.

Muhammad, jesus, the holy trinity, and many other belief systems seem to believe that theirs is the only true and acceptable religion. Boy, These folks have such tunnel vision I find it difficult to believe they have any social value at all. Such arrogance.

He stands in the record of the major prophets with clear distinctions:
1. He is a part of both world and religious histories. His message was an important factor in changing the history of the world, and no historian doubts his existence and his role in world events.
2. He is the only prophet who witnessed with his eyes the growth of his religion until it was adopted by a whole nation during his lifetime.
3. He is the universal prophet who was sent, not to a particular nation, such as the Arabs or the Hebrews, but to all mankind. From the Qur'an:
"Say, O mankind, I am the Messenger of God to you all, of Him Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the Earth...."7:158
4. His message clearly opposed all sorts of racial discrimination. Removal of all social barriers is an essential part of his message. White, black, red, and yellow are equal.
No race is superior to another race, and no nation is inferior to another nation. Man is to be praised or blamed only for what he does by his own choice. Being related to a particular nation or race is not our choice, nor is it of our own making. Our distinction can come only through our good deeds.
From the Holy Qur'an:
"Certainly, the noblest among you in the eyes of God is the most righteous of you." 49:13
5. He founded and established, during his lifetime, a powerful state, based on high ideals. The Muslim state was born in an age in which the government was conceived as a ruling body, superior to the people and imposed on its subjects without their choice. The people themselves never conceived their equality to their rulers, nor believed their equality to one another. In the teaching of Islam, the opposite is true. The government is a fruit of people's belief in one set of guiding principles. It is the legitimate child of their spontaneous cooperation for promotion of such principles. Thus, the promoters of such principles are related to each other and considered to be one brotherhood.
6. He defeated all his opponents, and no party was able to defeat him.
7. He is the prophet who declared the religious freedom when he was powerful enough to deprive many people of such a freedom. He and his followers were persecuted for thirteen years. He never spoke of religious freedom when they were subject of persecution. When he defeated all his opponents and was able to penalize the oppressors, he announced the following declaration:
"There shall be no compulsion in religion; the right direction is, henceforth, distinct from error."2:256
8. He is the only prophet who declared himself as the Final Prophet whose death concludes the long history of prophethood. Prophethood was claimed by many individuals after Mohammad, but none of them was able to substantiate his claim. And now, after so many centuries since his death, Mohammad is still standing in the history as the Final of the prophets.
9. He is the only Prophet who introduced to the world a book that does not contain any human word. The Qur'an is not a dialogue between God and man, as the rest of the holy books; it is only the words of God which He put in the mouth of Mohammad to be transmitted through him to mankind.
