Gabriel
Gabriel is one of the four archangels of God who is mentioned in the holy books of the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran.
In the Holy Quran, the name of this angel appears three times with the word "Jibril."
Considering the various attributes mentioned in the Quran for Gabriel (peace be upon him), it can be understood that, in addition to his exalted status with God, this angel plays an important role in managing the affairs of existence, the most significant of which is the revelation of divine guidance.
By God’s command, Gabriel (peace be upon him) aided the Muslims in certain battles, such as Badr, Uhud, and the battle against the Jews of Banu Qurayza.
It is reported that during the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah in the sixth year of the Hijra, Gabriel (peace be upon him) came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and asked him to sacrifice the camels and return to Medina.
During the Conquest of Mecca, Gabriel (peace be upon him) also assisted the Prophet (peace be upon him) in uncovering a spying plot.
Then the Prophet (peace be upon him), following Gabriel’s (peace be upon him) guidance, destroyed the idols surrounding the Kaaba with his staff.
According to narrations, Gabriel played a role in the construction of the Kaaba and in guiding and assisting the prophets, including teaching them the rituals of Hajj.
Etymology of Gabriel
"Jibril" is composed of "Jabr," meaning servant [1] or power[2] and "Il," which, according to some, is one of the names of God[3] And according to some, it means "Allah."[4] This word is originally Hebrew[5] or Syriac[6] and means “servant of God”[7] or “power of God.” This word in Hebrew is Gabriel (Gabriel).[8] and in Arabic in various forms[9]
It has been reported in various forms, including: Jibril, Jabril, Jibra’il, Jabra’il, Jabr’el, Jibrin, and Jibrīn.[10]
Gabriel in the Holy Books
Gabriel is one of the four archangels of God (Gabriel, Michael, Israfil, and Azrael)[11]
who is mentioned in the holy books, the Torah and the Gospel[12]
He is mentioned in the Quran. In the Holy Quran, the name of this angel appears three times with the word "Jibril."[13] Explicit Mention of the Names Gabriel and Michael[14]
Among all the angels, it indicates the superiority of these two over the others.[15]
In numerous verses, Gabriel (peace be upon him) is also described with attributes such as "Spirit,"[16] the Holy Spirit,[17] the Trustworthy Spirit,[18] Our Spirit[19]
Almighty and Powerful,[20] of high rank[21] Possessing strength, a noble messenger, firm, obedient, and trustworthy has been mentioned.[22]
Gabriel’s Role in the World
The Holy Quran, in numerous verses, refers to the role of angels in the affairs of the world[23]
Considering the various attributes mentioned in the Holy Quran for Gabriel(a), it can be understood that, in addition to his exalted status with God, this angel plays an important role in managing the affairs of existence, the most significant of which is the revelation of divine guidance.[24] and its instruction[25]to the Prophet of Islam(s).
Regarding Gabriel’s (a) role in cosmic affairs, for example, one can refer to the expansion of the earth (Dahw al-Ard). It is said that the spreading of the earth mentioned in the verseوَالاَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَلِکَ دَحَاهَا﴾[26]
It is mentioned that this was carried out by Gabriel (a) from beneath the Ka'ba.[27]
Teaching Hajj to Adam(a)
According to Shia narrations, the descent of Adam and Eve from Paradise to the land of Mecca, and the placement of Adam (peace be upon him) on Mount Safa and Eve on Mount Marwah, was carried out by God’s command and through Gabriel (a).
Then Gabriel (a), by God’s command, erected one of the heavenly tents at the place where the Ka'ba was later built and placed Adam and Eve in it.
The light of the tent’s pillar illuminated the mountains of Mecca and its surroundings, and God named the area reached by the pillar’s light as the Sacred Sanctuary (Haram).
Then Gabriel (a), by God’s command, dismantled the tent and built the Ka'ba in its place.[28]
On the eighth day of Dhu al-Hijjah, Adam (a) was commanded to perform Ghusl (ritual purification) and enter Ihram, and then the rituals of Hajj, such as Talbiyah, standing at Mina and Arafat, Halq (shaving the head), stoning the Jamrah, and Tawaf, were taught to him.[29]
According to Sunni narrations, Gabriel (a) also accompanied Adam (a) in the plains of Arafat and Mina.
In Arafat, he reminded Adam that the angels had performed Tawaf around the House of God fifty thousand years before his creation.[30] When parting from Adam(a) in the land of Mina, he said: “Tamann” means: “Ask God for whatever you wish.[31]
According to a Shia narration, Gabriel(a) said these words to Abraham.[32]
For this reason, this land was named Mina.[33]Teaching Abraham and Ishmael After Hagar and Ishmael settled in Mecca, causing the Zamzam water to flow beneath Ishmael’s feet was one of Gabriel’s (a) missions.[34]
For this reason, one of the names of Zamzam is Raqdat Jibril (the place where Gabriel stepped).[35]
When Abraham(a) was commanded by God to build the Ka'ba, Gabriel (a) showed him its location.[36]
Then, upon reaching the location of the Black Stone, he sent Ishmael(a) to bring a stone for that place.* (37)** [37]
Gabriel(a), who had hidden the Black Stone on Mount Abu Qubays during the flood of Noah(a),[38] he entrusted it to Ishmael (a) to give to his father.[39] *** After the construction of the Ka'ba, Gabriel (a) commanded Abraham(a) to call people to Hajj.[40]
Abraham and Ishmael (a) asked God to teach them the rituals of Hajj.[41]
Gabriel (a) came to the two of them and taught them the rituals of Hajj.[42]
In Islamic narrations, there are details of Gabriel’s accompaniment of Abraham in Muzdalifah,[43] Arafah,[44] and the Jamrat[45]have been reported.
According to some Sunni narrations, Abraham, with Gabriel’s guidance, determined and marked the boundaries of the Sacred Sanctuary of Mecca.[46]
Teaching Moses
According to a Shia narration, Gabriel (peace be upon him) was also present when Moses (peace be upon him) performed Hajj, and in response to Moses’ question about the reward for one who performs Hajj sincerely, he conveyed God’s message that such a person would be placed in the highest realm of Paradise alongside the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous(47) al-Ṣadūq, " Man lā Yaḥḍuruhu al-Faqīh ", vol. 2, p. 235–236.
