Abstract :
The Holy Spirit is the third of the three figures in Christian mysticism and sacred existence in Islam, and no worthy effort has been made regarding the dimensions of its nature in Christian and Islamic mysticism. In explaining this nature, the two basic questions are what is the Holy Spirit and what are its characteristics and attributes? This research has been done by descriptive-analytical method and comparative approach and its data has been collected through library and software sources and its main purpose is to recognize the various dimensions of the nature of the Holy Spirit in Christian and Islamic mysticism and determine the commonalities of this nature. The necessity and importance of this research is based on the fact that human beings, by recognizing the nature of the Holy Spirit, can recognize his material and spiritual abilities and capacities and, through this, benefit from them. The results of this study indicate that due to the great commonality in the dimensions of the nature of the Holy Spirit in Christian and Islamic mysticism, the nature of this holy being is the same in the mysticism of the two religions, .
