Do Not Be Deceived — Gabriel Was Not Sent to Muhammad

The Angel Gabriel we know from Scripture is:

• gentle

• humble

• calm

• orderly

• HE DOES NOT STRANGLE PEOPLE

Any human being who encounters a spiritual being will naturally feel fear, because such encounters are extraordinary. But there is a difference between feeling fear because you have seen something supernatural, and feeling fear because the being has grabbed you by the neck and pressed you until you lose your breath.

Let us look at the TRUE Gabriel as revealed in Scripture:

“And he said to me, ‘O Daniel, you greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright; for I have now been sent to you.’ While he was speaking this word to me, I stood trembling. Then he said to me, ‘Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words.’”
— Daniel 10:11–12

“And the LORD answered the angel who talked with me with good and comforting words.”
— Zechariah 1:13

“When Zachariah saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said to him, ‘Do not be afraid, Zachariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.’”
— Luke 1:12–13

“And he came to her and said, ‘Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.’ But she was greatly troubled at the saying and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.’”
— Luke 1:28–30

“And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, ‘Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which shall be for all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.’”
— Luke 2:8–11

This is the Gabriel I know.
This is the true Gabriel.
This is the Gabriel of heaven.

But what about Jibril, whom Islam claims is the same Gabriel of the Bible?

We read in Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 1, Book 1, Hadith 3:

“The Prophet added, ‘The angel caught me forcefully and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it anymore.’”

Meaning:

“The angel grabbed me violently and squeezed me so strongly that I could no longer breathe.”

The one who came to Muhammad:

Was NOT Gabriel.
Was NOT!
Not even once!

The Lord Jesus says:

“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
— John 8:12

Do not be deceived.
Reflect deeply.
Take action.
