Gabriel (Heb., ‘God is my warrior’). An archangel. He and Michael are the only angels named in the Jewish Bible (Daniel 8. 16; 9. 21; 10. 13; 12. 1; Raphael is mentioned in the
apocrypha, Tobit).
In Islam, Gabriel is Jibrīl or Jibrāʾīl. He is one of the
angels (
malāʾika), named three times in the
Qurʾān (2. 97, 98; 66. 4), once as the being who ‘brought [the Qurʾān] down to your heart’ (2. 97). Jibrīl has thus been identified as the one who transmitted the message.
