There is a concept in Judaism of Ruah Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit) and in the Quran Ruh al-Qudus (Holy Spirit). The word "Ruh" itself means "Spirit" and is used in various ways in the Quran. As someone from the East, I see similarities in the Jewish/ Quranic understanding and the concept of ki/Chi (Spirit that animates/life-force).
