Holy Spirit

When we debate the trinity in this forum, we usually focus on the person of Jesus, and whether or not we believe him to be God.
I am not interested in another trinity discussion, and I am hoping that this won't turn into one ...

Instead in this thread I would like to explore the Muslim view of God's Spirit, and if there is such a concept.

Let me start by saying what I perceive the Holy Spirit to be - God's spirit/guidance/presence in my life, which prompts me, encourages me and directs me (providing I am willing to listen and follow).
Sometimes I wonder whether others might refer to it as 'conscience' or 'intuition'. For me it is God's influence and guidance in my life, and the more I listen the more I become aware of that presence.

Now, please, please, please, not getting sidetracked by whether the Holy Spirit is God, part of God, separate from God, inside or outside of God ... :rollseyes
can you tell me if - as a Muslim - you have a sense of God working in such a way?
A sense of God actively being present in your life?

Muslims have given me different views on this, so I would be interested in your personal thoughts and opinions.

And also - if relevant - give example of God's Spirit having worked/working in your lives.
(Hey, if you play your cards right this could turn into a dawah thread!! :D)

Looking forwards to your replies. :)

Peace
