Gabriel Ferrari

In Abrahamic religions, Gabriel is an angel who is thought to serve as a messenger from God. He first appears in the Book of Daniel in the Hebrew Bible. Christians and Muslims believe him to have foretold the births of John the Baptist and Jesus to Zacharias and the Virgin Mary, and Muslims further believe he was the medium through which God revealed the Qur’an to Muhammad. Muslims also believe he sent a message to most, if not all, prophets revealing their obligation.In the Christian Tradition, he is known as one of the seven archangels. In Islam, he is called the chief of the four favoured angels and the spirit of truth, and in some views Gabriel is the same as the Holy Spirit.[citation needed] Gabriel also finds mention in the writings of the Bahá’í Faith, most notably in Bahá’u’lláh’s mystical work The Seven Valleys.
