The Ghost-Angel. On the spiritualitation of the angel and divinization of men in the islamic medieval mystic.
Abstract
This essay is the first part of an arqueology on governmentality in islam. Identifying the quran´s assimilation of angel Gabriel and the Holy Ghost I think that islamic medieval mystic develop an spiritualization of the angel where pneumatology and angelology seems to be the same, because the angel is not a simple server of God but a manager of man´s soul. In this way the Ghost-Angel would be consider as a dispositiv of soul´s salvation (the divinization of men) and the condition of a government of itself. That´s why it challenge the formalization proposes by the islamic law (fiqh).Downloads
