Because of this, Jibril is also known as the Angel of Revelation, as he played a vital role in communicating the principles of Islam to humanity.
Jibril is known as the Angel Gabriel in Christian scripture. He appeared to Maryam who is known as Mary in Christianity to tell her she was pregnant with Isa known as Jesus in Christianity. Al-Bukhaari and Muslim narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah blessings and peace of Allah be upon him said:.
