Angel Gabriel, also known as Jibril or Jibreel, is one of the archangels mentioned in the Quran. He is considered to be the chief angel and the messenger of Allah who delivered the divine revelations to the prophets, including Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
In the Quran, Angel Gabriel is mentioned in several verses, including Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 97: "Say, 'Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel - it is [none but] he who has brought the Qur'an down upon your heart, [O Muhammad], by permission of Allah, confirming that which was before it and as guidance and good tidings for the believers.'"
The Quran describes Angel Gabriel as having many wings, and being of immense power and strength. He is believed to have a special relationship with Allah and is responsible for the transmission of divine revelations and messages to the prophets.
Angel Gabriel is also mentioned in Islamic tradition and literature, including Hadiths and Sirahs (biographical accounts of the Prophet Muhammad's life). In these sources, he is described as being kind and compassionate towards the Prophet and other believers, and as having played an important role in the early development of Islam.
Here are a few more verses from the Quran that mention Angel Gabriel:
"The trustworthy spirit has brought it down upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners - in a clear Arabic language." (Surah Ash-Shu'ara, Verse 193-195)
"And We did not reveal the Qur'an to you, [O Muhammad], except for you to make clear to them that wherein they have differed and as guidance and mercy for a people who believe." (Surah An-Nahl, Verse 64)
"Indeed, this is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds, which the trustworthy Spirit has brought down upon your heart, [O Muhammad], that you may be one of the warners." (Surah Ash-Shu'ara, Verse 192-194)
These verses emphasize the role of Angel Gabriel in bringing down the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad as a source of guidance and mercy for the believers.
"The Holy Spirit has brought the revelation from your Lord in truth, to strengthen those who believe, and as guidance and good tidings for those who submit [to Allah]." (Surah An-Nahl, Verse 102)
"And it is not for any human being that Allah should speak to him except by revelation or from behind a partition or that He sends a messenger to reveal, by His permission, what He wills. Indeed, He is Most High and Wise." (Surah Ash-Shura, Verse 51)
These verses emphasize the role of Angel Gabriel in conveying the divine revelations to the Prophet Muhammad and as a means of strengthening the faith of believers. They also emphasize that communication with Allah can only occur through revelation, whether it be direct or through an intermediary like Angel Gabriel.
"And We did not send before you any messenger or prophet except that when he spoke [or recited], Satan threw into it [some misunderstanding]. But Allah abolishes that which Satan throws in; then Allah makes precise His verses. And Allah is Knowing and Wise. That is so He may make what Satan throws in a trial for those within whose hearts is disease and those hard of heart. And indeed, the wrongdoers are in extreme dissension." (Surah Al-Hajj, Verse 52-53)
"And [mention] the Day when We will resurrect among every nation a witness over them from themselves. And We will bring you, [O Muhammad], as a witness over your nation. And We have sent down to you the Book as clarification for all things and as guidance and mercy and good tidings for the Muslims." (Surah An-Nahl, Verse 89)
These verses emphasize the role of Angel Gabriel in conveying the divine revelations to the prophets, and as a means of confirming previous revelations and guiding believers. They also highlight the importance of the Quran as a source of guidance and mercy for the believers, and its role as a witness on the Day of Judgment.
"And [We sent] messengers about whom We have related [their stories] to you before and messengers about whom We have not related to you. And Allah spoke to Moses with [direct] speech. [We sent] messengers as bringers of good tidings and warners so that mankind will have no argument against Allah after the messengers. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise." (Surah An-Nisa, Verse 164-165)
"It is not for the Prophet and those who have believed to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of Hellfire. And the request of forgiveness of Abraham for his father was only because of a promise he had made to him. But when it became apparent to Abraham that his father was an enemy to Allah, he disassociated himself from him. Indeed was Abraham compassionate and patient." (Surah At-Tawbah, Verse 113-114)
These verses emphasize the role of Angel Gabriel in conveying the Quran to Prophet Muhammad, confirming the previous revelations and providing guidance to the believers. They also highlight the importance of messengers in delivering the message of Allah and warn against seeking forgiveness for those who associate partners with Allah.
