Published in Religion 1 min read

Jibreel, also known as Gabriel, is not mentioned in the Bible. Jibreel is an important figure in Islam, known as the angel who delivered the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad. He is also considered to be the angel of revelation in Islamic tradition.

The Bible does mention an angel named Gabriel who is said to have appeared to various individuals in the Old and New Testaments. For example:

  • Daniel 8:16: Gabriel interprets a vision for Daniel.
  • Luke 1:19-26: Gabriel appears to Zechariah and announces the birth of John the Baptist.
  • Luke 1:26-38: Gabriel appears to Mary and announces the birth of Jesus.

While Gabriel is a significant figure in both the Bible and the Quran, the two religions have different interpretations of his role and significance.
