97- SAY: “WHOEVER AN ENEMY OF GABRIEL IS, HE BROUGHT IT DOWN UPON YOUR HEART WITH ALLAH’S PERMISSION; CONFIRMING WHAT HAS BEEN SENT DOWN BEFORE YOU, GUIDANCE AND GOOD NEWS FOR THE BELIEVERS.

98- WHOEVER IS ANY ENEMY OF ALLAH, HIS ANGELS, HIS MESSENGERS, GABRIEL AND MICHAEL, THEN ALLAH IS AN ENEMY TO THE DISBELIEVERS.

Ibn Jarir Al-Tabari reported that Qitadah reported that Omar Ibn El-Khatab went to speak to the Jews.  He said to them: “I did not come to you because I like you or your company, but because I came to listen to what you have to say”.  They asked Him: “Who is the companion of your companion (of the Angels)?”  He said: “Gabriel”.  They said: “He is our enemy, he tells Mohamed our secrets, and whenever he comes to us, he comes with war and destruction.  Our friend is Michael, when he comes; he brings us prosperity and peace”.  Omar said: “Do you recognize Gabriel and reject Mohamed?”

Meaning how they can recognize the fact the Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, receives revelations from Allah’s Archangel, then reject Mohamed as a messenger.

Omar left them and went to tell Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, to find that he received the above Ayahs.

The Jews spoke of Gabriel and Michael, Allah’s great Angels as if they have a will of their own, as if they do not do what they are commanded, but what they like.  The Angels are but messengers from Allah the Highest.  The prophets and messengers, prayer and peace upon them all, are human beings, therefore, they have a will, they have a choice, but the Angels do not have any choice.  Allah the Highest said about them:

“ALLAH SELECTS MESSENGERS FROM THE ANGELS AND FROM PEOPLE”.  (S: 22 A: 75)

Also said:

“THEY DO NOT DISOBEY A COMMAND THEY ARE GIVEN, THEY DO WHAT THEY ARE COMMANDED TO DO”.  (S: 66 A: 6)

If they recognized that Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, received his revelations from Allah’s Archangel Gabriel, then the revelations, that is the Quran must be truly from God.  Then the disbelief of the Jews had nothing to do with their disbelief in Mohamed being a true messenger of God, but with their own desires and intentions.

Hence they incur Allah’s Wrath and Anger.
