In the
Abrahamic religions
(
Judaism
, Christianity, Islam and the
Baha?i Faith
),
Gabriel
(
GAY
-bree-?l
)
[N 2]
is an
archangel
with the power to announce God's will to mankind. He is mentioned in the
Hebrew Bible
, the
New Testament
, the
Quran
and the
Kitab-i-Aqdas
. Many Christian traditions ? including
Eastern Orthodoxy
,
Catholicism
,
Lutheranism
, and
Anglicanism
? revere Gabriel as a
saint
.
[4]
[5]
[6]
[7]
In the Hebrew Bible, Gabriel appears to the prophet
Daniel
to explain his visions (
Daniel 8
:15?26,
9
:21?27). The archangel also appears in the
Book of Enoch
and other ancient
Jewish
writings not preserved in Hebrew. Alongside the archangel
Michael
, Gabriel is described as the
guardian angel
of
Israel
, defending its people against the angels of the other nations.
In the New Testament, the
Gospel of Luke
relates the
Annunciation
, in which the angel Gabriel appears to
Zechariah
foretelling the birth of
John the Baptist
with the angel Gabriel foretelling the
Virgin Mary
the birth of
Jesus Christ
, respectively (
Luke 1:11?38
).
Islam regards Gabriel as an archangel sent by
God
to various prophets, including
Muhammad
.
[8]
The first five verses of the
Al-Alaq
, the 96th chapter of the Quran, are believed by Muslims to have been the first verses
revealed
by Gabriel to
Muhammad
.
[8]
Etymology
[
edit
]
The name Gabriel (
Hebrew:
???????????,
Ga?r???l
) is composed of the first person singular possessive form of the Hebrew noun
gever
(??????), meaning "man", and
??l
, meaning "God". This would make the translation of the archangel's name "man of God"
[9]
[10]
[11]
or "power of God". In
Arabic
, Jibr?l (?????), means "power of God".
Zoroastrianism
[
edit
]
After the
Jews' exile to Babylon
in the 6th century BCE, Jewish beliefs underwent a significant transformation. Exposure to
Zoroastrianism
, with its intricate angelology and the concept of a cosmic struggle between good and evil, likely influenced this evolution. The striking similarities between "holy immortal" (
Amesha Spentas
)
Vohu Manah
(or "good mind") and Gabriel's role as a messenger suggest a potential connection. This exposure to Zoroastrian angelology during the exile period may have played a part in shaping Gabriel's prominent role as a divine messenger in Judaism.

Hebrew Bible
[
edit
]
In the Hebrew Bible, Gabriel appears to the prophet
Daniel
to explain his visions (
Daniel 8
:15?26,
9
:21?27). Later an angel, not named but likely Gabriel again, appears to him and speaks of receiving help from the archangel Michael in battle against the demon prince of Persia (
Daniel 10
:13, 21) and also Michael's role in times to come (
Daniel 12
:1). These are the first instances of a named angel in the Bible. Gabriel's main function in Daniel is that of revealer, responsible for interpreting Daniel's visions, a role he continues to have in later traditions.
Rabbinic Judaism
[
edit
]
Gabriel, (
Hebrew
:
???????????
,
romanized
:
Ga?r???l
) is interpreted by
Talmudic
rabbis
to be the "man in linen" mentioned in the
Book of Daniel
and the
Book of Ezekiel
. Talmudic Judaism understands the angel in the Book of Ezekiel, who was sent to destroy
Jerusalem
, to be Gabriel. According to the
Jewish Encyclopedia
, Gabriel takes the form of a man, and stands at the left hand of God.
[13]
Shimon ben Lakish
(
Syria Palaestina
, 3rd century) concluded that the angelic names of Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel came out of the Babylonian exile (Gen. Rab. 48:9).
[14]
Alongside the archangel Michael, Gabriel is described as the guardian angel of Israel, defending this people against the angels of the other nations.
[15]
Mystical Judaism
[
edit
]
In the
Kabbalistic tradition
, Gabriel is identified with the
sephirah
of
Yesod
. Gabriel also has a prominent role as one of God's archangels in the Kabbalah literature. There, Gabriel is portrayed as working in concert with Michael as part of God's court. Gabriel is not to be prayed to because only God can answer prayers and sends Gabriel as his agent.
[13]
According to
Jewish mythology
, in the
Garden of Eden
there is a
tree of life
or the "tree of souls"
[16]
that blossoms and produces new
souls
, which fall into the
Guf
, the
Treasury of Souls
. Gabriel reaches into the treasury and takes out the first soul that comes into his hand.
Christianity
[

New Testament
[
edit
]
Gabriel's first appearance in the
New Testament
, concerns the annunciation of the birth of
John the Baptist
. John's father
Zachariah
, a priest of the course of Abia, (
Luke 1:5?7
) was childless because his wife
Elisabeth
was barren. An angel appears to Zacharias while he is ministering in the Temple, to announce the birth of his son. When Zachariah questions the angel, the angel gives his name as Gabriel:
10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
20 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
After completing his required week
[18]
of ministry, Zacharias returns to his home and his wife Elizabeth conceives. After she has completed five months of her pregnancy (
Luke 1:21?25
), Gabriel appears again, now to Mary, to announce the birth of Jesus:
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Gabriel only appears by name in those two passages in Luke. In the first passage the angel identified himself as Gabriel, but in the second it is Luke who identified him as Gabriel. The only other named angels in the New Testament are Michael the Archangel (in
Jude 1:9
) and
Abaddon
(in
Revelation 9:11
). Believers are expressly warned not to worship angels in two New Testament passages:
Colossians 2:18?19
and
Revelation 19:10
.
[20]
Intertestamental literature
[
edit
]
Gabriel is not called an archangel in the
canonical Bible
. However, the
intertestamental period
(roughly 200 BC ? 50 AD) produced a wealth of
literature
, much of it having an
apocalyptic
orientation. The names and ranks of angels and devils were greatly expanded in this literature, and each had particular duties and status before God. This was the period when Gabriel was first referred to as an archangel.
In
1 Enoch 9
:1?3, Gabriel, along with Michael,
Uriel
, and
Suriel
, "saw much blood being shed upon the earth" (9:1) and heard the souls of men cry, "Bring our cause before the Most High" (
9:3
). In 1 Enoch 10:1, the reply came from "the Most High, the Holy and Great One" who sent forth agents, including Gabriel?
And the Lord said to Gabriel: "Proceed against the bastards and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication: and destroy [the children of fornication and] the children of the Watchers from amongst men [and cause them to go forth]: send them one against the other that they may destroy each other in battle: for length of days shall they not have."
Gabriel is the fifth of the five angels who keep watch: "Gabriel, one of the holy angels, who is over Paradise and the serpents and the Cherubim". (
1 Enoch 20:7
)
When Enoch asked who the four figures were that he had seen:
And he said to me: 'This first is Michael, the merciful and long-suffering: and the second, who is set over all the diseases and all the wounds of the children of men, is Raphael: and the third, who is set over all the powers, is Gabriel: and the fourth, who is set over the repentance unto hope of those who inherit eternal life, is named Phanuel.' And these are the four angels of the Lord of Spirits and the four voices I heard in those days.
Gnosticism
[
edit
]
The
heretical
Christian movement of
Gnosticism
paid special attention to angels as beings belonging to a pantheon of spiritual forces involved in the creation of the world. According to one ancient
Gnostic manuscript
, the
Holy Book of the Great Invisible Spirit
, Gabriel is a divine being and inhabitant of the
Pleroma
who existed prior to the
Demiurge
.
[21]
Medieval Christian traditions
[
edit
]
In a famous early work, the "four homilies on the
Missus Est
,
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux
(1090?1153 AD) interpreted Gabriel's name as "the strength of God", and his symbolic function in the gospel story as announcement of the strength or virtue of Christ, both as the strength of God incarnate and as the strength given by God to the timorous people who would bring into the world a fearful and troublesome event. "Therefore it was an opportune choice that designated Gabriel for the work he had to accomplish, or rather, because he was to accomplish it therefore he was called Gabriel."
[22]
Feast day
[
edit
]
The feast day of Saint Gabriel the Archangel was exclusively celebrated on 18 March according to many sources dating between 1588 and 1921; unusually, a source published in 1856
[23]
has the feast celebrated on 7 April for unknown reasons (a parenthetical note states that the day is normally celebrated on 18 March). Writer
Elizabeth Drayson
mentions the feast being celebrated on 18 March 1588 in her 2013 book "The Lead Books of Granada".
[24]
One of the oldest out-of-print sources placing the feast on 18 March, first published in 1608, is
Flos sanctorum: historia general de la vida y hechos de Jesu-Christo ... y de los santos de que reza y haze fiesta la Iglesia Catholica ...
by the
Spanish
writer
Alonso de Villegas
; a newer edition of this book was published in 1794.
[25]
Another source published in Ireland in 1886 the
Irish Ecclesiastical Record
also mentions 18 March.
[26]
The feast of Saint Gabriel was included by
Pope Benedict XV
in the
General Roman Calendar
in 1921, for celebration on 24 March.
[27]
In 1969, the day was officially transferred to 29 September for celebration in conjunction with the feast of the archangels Ss. Michael and Raphael.
[28]
The
Church of England
has also adopted the 29 September date, known as
Michaelmas
.
The
Eastern Orthodox Church
and those
Eastern Catholic Churches
that follow the
Byzantine Rite
celebrate his
feast day
(
Synaxis of the Archangel Michael and the Other Bodiless Powers
) on 8 November (for those churches that follow the traditional
Julian Calendar
, 8 November currently falls on 21 November of the modern
Gregorian Calendar
, a difference of 13 days). Eastern Orthodox commemorate him, not only on his November feast, but also on two other days:
- 26 March is the "
Synaxis
of the Archangel Gabriel" and celebrates his role in the
Annunciation
(eavetaking of the Annunciation)
Saint Gabriel the Archangel is
commemorated
on the
vigil
of the Feast of the Annunciation by
Antiochian Western Rite Vicariate
[31]
and
ROCOR
Western Rite
.
[32]
The
Coptic Orthodox Church
celebrates his feast on 13
Paoni
,
[33]
22
Koiak
and 26
Paoni
.
[34]
The
Ethiopian Church
celebrates his feast on 18 December (in the Ethiopian calendar), with a sizeable number of its believers making a pilgrimage to a church dedicated to "Saint Gabriel" in
Kulubi
and Wonkshet on that day.
[35]
In the
Lutheran Churches
, Gabriel is celebrated on the Feast of the Archangels on 29 September.
[5]
Additionally, Gabriel is the
patron saint
of messengers, those who work for broadcasting and telecommunications such as radio and television, postal workers, clerics, diplomats, and stamp collectors.
[3]
Gabriel's horn
[
edit
]
A familiar
image
of Gabriel has him blowing a trumpet blast to announce the resurrection of the dead at the end of time. However, though the Bible mentions a trumpet blast preceding the resurrection of the dead, it never specifies Gabriel as the trumpeter. Different passages state different things: the angels of the Son of Man (
Matthew 24
:31); the voice of the Son of God (
John 5
:25?29); God's trumpet (
I Thessalonians
4:16); seven angels sounding a series of blasts (
Revelation 8
?
11
); or simply "a trumpet will sound" (
I Corinthians
15:52).
[36]
Likewise the early Christian
Church Fathers
do not mention Gabriel as a trumpeter; and in Jewish and Muslim traditions, Gabriel is again not identified as a trumpeter.
[37]
The earliest known identification of Gabriel as a trumpeter comes from the Hymn of the Armenian Saint Nerses Shnorhali, "for Protection in the Night":
[38]
The sound of Gabriel's trumpet on the last night, make us worthy to hear, and to stand on your right hand among the sheep with lanterns of inextinguishable light; to be like the five wise virgins, so that with the bridegroom in the bride chamber we, his spiritual brides may enter into glory.
In 1455, in
Armenian art
, there is an illustration in an Armenian manuscript showing Gabriel sounding his trumpet as the dead climb out of their graves.
[39]
Evangelical Christian traditions
[
edit
]
The image of Gabriel's trumpet blast to announce the end of time was taken up in
Evangelical Christianity
, where it became widespread, notably in
Negro spirituals
.
[40]
An earlier example occurs in
John Milton
's
Paradise Lost
(1667):
[36]
[41]
Betwixt these rockie pillars Gabriel sat
Chief of the Angelic guards (IV.545f) ...
He ended, and the Son gave signal high
To the bright minister that watch'd, he blew
His trumpet, heard in Oreb since perhaps
When God descended, and perhaps once more
To sound at general doom. (XI.72ff).
It is unclear how the Armenian conception inspired Milton and the spirituals, though they presumably have a common source.
[36]
Latter-day Saints
[
edit
]
In
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
theology, Gabriel is believed to have lived a mortal life as the prophet
Noah
. The two are regarded as the same individual; Noah being his mortal name and Gabriel being his heavenly name.

Gabriel (
Arabic
:

,
romanized
:
Jibr?l
; also
Arabic
:
???????
,
romanized
:
Jibr???l
or
Jabr???l
, derived from the
Hebrew
:
???????????
,
romanized
:
Ga?r???l
)
[8]
[44]
[45]
[46]
in many places in Qur'an, is venerated as one of the primary
archangels
and as the Angel of Revelation in
Islam
.
[8]
[44]
[45]
He is primarily mentioned in the verses
2:97
,
2:98
and
66:4
of the
Quran
, although the Quranic text doesn't explicitly refer to him as an angel.
[44]
In the Quran, the archangel Gabriel appears named in
2:97
and
66:4
, as well as in
2:98
, where he is mentioned along with the archangel
Michael
(
M?k???l
).
[8]
Exegetical Quranic literature
narrates that
Muhammad
saw the archangel Gabriel in his full angelic splendor only twice, the first time being when he received his first revelation.
[45]
As the Bible portrays Gabriel as a celestial messenger sent to
Daniel
,
[47]
Mary
,
[48]
and
Zechariah
,
[49]
Islamic tradition holds that Gabriel was sent to numerous pre-Islamic Biblical prophets with revelation and divine injunctions, including
Adam
, whom Muslims believe was consoled by Gabriel some time after
the Fall
, too.
[50]
He is known by many names in Islam, such as "keeper of holiness".
[51]
In Hadith traditions, Jibril is said to have six hundred wings.
[52]
Tasks
[
edit
]
Muslims believe that Gabriel was mainly tasked with transmitting the scriptures from God to the
prophets and messengers
, as
Asbab al-Nuzul
or revelation
[53]
when Muhammad was questioned which angel is revealing the holy scriptures revelation, and Muhammad told the Jews it is revealed by Gabriel who is tasked to it.
Muslims also revere Gabriel for a number of events predating what they regard as the first revelation, narrated in the Quran. Muslims believe that Gabriel was the angel who informed Zachariah (
Zakariyy?
) of Ya?y?'s (
John's
)
birth
, as well as Mary (
Maryam
) of the future
nativity of Jesus
;
[55]
[56]
and that Gabriel was one of three angels who had earlier informed
Abraham
(?Ibr?h?m) of the birth of
Isaac
(
51:24?30
).
[57]
Gabriel also makes a famous appearance in the
Hadith of Gabriel
, in which he questions Muhammad on the core tenets of Islam.
[8]
Gabriel is also believed to have delivered punishment from God to the
Sodomites
by leveling the entire Sodom city with a tip of his wing.
[58]
According to a Hadith narrated by
Abu Dharr al-Ghifari
, which is compiled by
al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi
, Gabriel has an ability to regulate
Feeling
or
Perception
of humans, particularly a feel of happiness or sadness.
[59]
Gabriel is believed to have helped Muhammad overcome his adversaries significantly against a
demon
(
?ifr?t
) during the
Mi'raj
.
[60]
[61]
Gabriel is also believed to have helped Muhammad overcome his adversaries during the
Battle of Badr
, where according to scholars and clerics of Islam, the various hadiths, both authentics and inauthentics, has mentioned that Gabriel,
[62]
Michael
,
Raphael
,
[63]
[N 3]
[N 4]
and thousands of
best angels
from third level of heaven, all came to the battle of Badr by impersonating the appearance of
Zubayr ibn al-Awwam
, a
Companions of the Prophet
and bodyguard of the prophet.
[N 5]
[68]
This is deemed as Zubayr personal honor according to Islamic belief.
[N 6]
Meanwhile,
Safiur Rahman Mubarakpuri
has recorded in his
historiography
works of Quran and Hadith revelation in
Prophetic biography
, that
Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas
testified he saw two unidentified warriors clad in white had protected Muhammad during the
Battle of Uhud
, that later being confirmed by Muhammad those two unidentified warriors were Jibril and
Mikail
in disguise.
[72]
Moreover, he is believed to have further encouraged Muhammad to wage war and attack the
Jewish tribe
of
Banu Qurayza
.
[44]
[73]
Another appearance of Gabriel in Islamic religious texts were found in numerous Hadiths during the
Battle of Hunayn
, where the Gabriel stood next to Muhammad.
[74]
Other
Islamic texts
and some
Apocryphal literature
also supported Gabriel's role as a celestial warrior.
[44]
[75]
Though alternate theories exist, whether the occurrence of the
Holy Spirit
in the Quran refers to Gabriel or not, remains an issue of scholarly debate.
[

However, a clear distinction between apocryphal and Quranic references to Gabriel is that the former doesn't designate him as the Holy Spirit in the
First Book of Enoch
, which narrates the story of Gabriel defeating the
Nephilim
.
[44]
Yezidi tradition
[
edit
]
Yazidis
consider Gabriel one of the
Seven Mysteries
, the heptad to which God entrusted the world, and sometimes identified with the archangel
Melek Taus
.
[76]
Art, entertainment, and media
[
edit
]
Angels are described as pure spirits.
[77]
[78]
The lack of a defined form allows artists wide latitude in depicting them.
[79]
Amelia R. Brown draws comparisons in Byzantine iconography between portrayals of angels and the conventions used to depict court eunuchs. Mainly from the Caucasus, they tended to have light eyes, hair, and skin; and those "castrated in childhood developed a distinctive skeletal structure, lacked full masculine musculature, body hair and beards ..." As officials, they would wear a white tunic decorated with gold. Brown suggests that "Byzantine artists drew, consciously or not, on this iconography of the court eunuch".
[80]
Some recent popular works on angels consider Gabriel to be
female
or
androgynous
.

Daniel 8
:15 describes Gabriel as appearing in the "likeness of man" and in
Daniel 9
:21 he is referred to as "the man Gabriel". David Everson observes that "such anthropomorphic descriptions of an angel are consistent with previous .. .descriptions of angels", as in
Genesis 19
:5.
[14]
Gabriel is most often portrayed in the context of scenes of the
Annunciation
. In 2008 a 16th-century drawing by Lucas van Leyden of the Netherlands was discovered. George R. Goldner, chairman of the department of prints and drawings at New York's
Metropolitan Museum of Art
, suggested that the sketch was for a stained glass window. "The fact that the archangel is an ordinary-looking person and not an idealized boy is typical of the artist", said Goldner.

The complete narration from
Al-Hakim al-Nishapuri
were: "Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Yaqoub has reported from Ibrahim bin Abdullah Al-Saadi, who told us Muhammad bin Khalid bin Uthma, told us Musa bin Yaqoub, told me Abu Al-Huwairith, that Muhammad bin Jubayr bin Mut’im told him, that he heard Ali - may God be pleased with him - addresses the people, and he said: While I was leaving from the well of Badr, a strong wind came, the like of which I had never seen, then it left, then came a strong wind, the like of which I have never seen except for the one before it, then it went, then came a strong wind that I did not see before. I have never seen anything like it except for the one before it, and the first wind was Gabriel descended among a thousand angels with the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - and the second wind was Michael who descended among a thousand angels to the right of the Messenger of God - may God bless him and his family and grant them peace - and Abu Bakr was On his right, and the third wind was Israfil. He descended with a thousand angels on the side of the Messenger of God - may God's prayers and peace be upon him and his family - and I was on the right side. When God Almighty defeated his enemies, the Messenger of God - may God's prayers and peace be upon him and his family - carried me on his horse, I blew up, and I fell On my heels, I prayed to God Almighty …"
Ibn al Mulqin
[
id
]
, Hadith scholar from Cordoba of 13-14 AD century, evaluate this hadith that he found weaknesses in Musa ibn Yaqoub and Abu al Huwairith chain, so he deemed there is weakness about this hadith.
[65]
However, recent scholarship from Ali Hasan al-Halabi has noted there is another hadith which supported the participation of Raphael in Badr
[63]
- ^
According to Islamic belief in weak chain of Hadith, Raphael were acknowledged as angel who were tasked to blower of
Armageddon
trumpet, and one of archangels who bear the
Throne of God
on their back.
[66]
- ^
According to one Hadith, Muhammad were told that the angels that appeared in the battle of Badr were highest in status and the "best of angels" according to Gabriel in Hadith narrated by Muhammad.
[67]
- ^
According to one narration, during the battle, Muhammad has found an angel whom he though as Zubayr standing next to him, which then prompted Muhammad to command him to attack, which the angel, in Zubayr appearance, simply replied, "I am not Zubayr". Thus, according to Hadith expert this another indication that the angels truly came down with the appearance of Zubayr during Badr.

The widespread understanding of Gabriel's horn as a symbol of the end of time in U.S. Southern culture, is apparent from its appearance in the University of Texas's school spirit song,
The Eyes of Texas
(1903):
"The eyes of Texas are upon you, until Gabriel blows his horn."
Likewise in
Marc Connelly
's play based on negro spirituals,
The Green Pastures
(1930), Gabriel has his beloved trumpet constantly with him, and the Lord has to warn him not to blow it too soon.
