In Abrahamic religions, Gabriel (Hebrew: גַּבְרִיאֵל, Modern Gavriʼel Tiberian Gaḇrîʼēl; Latin: Gabrielus; Greek: Γαβριήλ, Gabriēl; Arabic: جبريل, Jibrīl or جبرائيل Jibrail; Aramaic: Gabri-el, "God is my strong man/hero") is an angel who serves as a messenger from God. Based on two passages in the Gospel of Luke, many Christians and Muslims believe Gabriel to have foretold the births of both John the Baptist and Jesus.

Islam further believes he was the medium through whom God revealed the Qur'an to Muhammad, and that he sent a message to most prophets, if not all, revealing their obligations. He is called the chief of the four favoured angels and the spirit of truth, and in some views is a personification of the Holy Spirit. Gabriel is also mentioned in Bahá'í Faith texts, specifically in Bahá'u'lláh's mystical work Seven Valleys.

Where can i find a video of Gabriel Iglesias's joke about the principal?
Q. In one of Gabriel Iglesias's jokes, he talked about when he dropped his kid, Frankie, off at school. The principal then comes running out and Gabriel yells something in Spanish but the Principal talks back in Spanish. Anyone know of a good video of this?

What other Angels are there in Islam instead of Angel Gabriel?
Q. I know about Angel Gabriel and his influence, but are there are any other angels that play a significant role?
Asked by Taaha A - Sun Jan 25 20:17:00 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Michael (Mikaayil), Raphael (Israfil) and the Angel of Death (Malak al-Maut, or Azrael) are the most important, but there are Malik, who rules Hell, and Ridwan, who's responsible for Paradise, Munkar and Nakir, who interrogate a person after their death about their good and bad deeds, and Harut and Marut, who were sent to challenge an Israeli tribe. EDIT: The person below me is mistaken. The "evil one" is Iblis, who is a jinn, not an angel. Lucifer isn't part of Islam.

Would you say the name Gabriel is more Hispanic?
Q. I'm not trying to be racist, just curious. It seems like recently the name Gabriel has become more popular in Hispanic cultures (I think it used to be more popular among whites). Do you think this is true in general? Please tell me what you think or observe. Thanks!

A. I think that it's a very multicultural name. I have heard it a lot on white people but it's also used on any race. It may also be coming more popular in Hispanic countries.
