Gabriel (also known as Gabriel, in the Russian tradition as Gabriel) is an angel through whom God communicates revelations. It is a major part of the story of the Quran.

In simple terms .

The Quran links Gabriel to the transmission of revelation to the heart of the Prophet [./Мухаммад_<span class= ﷺ" id="mwCQ" rel="mw:WikiLink" title="Мухаммад ﷺ">Muhammad] by God's permission.[1] Elsewhere, the revelation is said to have been revealed to the faithful in plain Arabic.[2]

It is important to distinguish between the source and the transmitter here: Revelation comes from God, and an angel performs His commission. Gabriel is not the author of the Quran or a being worshipped by Muslims.

Where to Start

Put three concepts together: God → Revelation → Prophet. Gabriel is involved in the transmission of revelations at God's command. Then read the Holy Scriptures and the Quran. This will help us to see the bigger picture without confusing the roles of God, angels, and humans.
