Gabriel (given name)
From the Hebrew name גַבְרִיאֵל (Gavri'el) meaning "God is my strong man". Gabriel was one of the seven archangels in Hebrew tradition. He appears in both the Old Testament and the New Testament, where he serves as the announcer of the births of John to Zechariah and Jesus to Mary. According to Islamic tradition he was the angel who dictated the Qur'an to Muhammad.
Behind the Name: Meaning, origin and history of the name Gabriel
The Quran was recited or as you say dictated by the Angel Gabriel. Who is the 'Trustworthy Ghost or Spirit' or the 'Holy Ghost'.
He gave the glad news to Zachariah of the birth of his son John (Baptist), and he gave the glad news to Virgin Mary of bearing Jesus Christ.
In the Quran, Gabriel is described as endowed with power and respect and having a high rank before God Almighty the Lord of the throne:
([Mohammed] is taught by [Gabriel: an angel] mighty in power.) This is a description of Gabriel that he is mighty in power, as did He describe him, too, in the Quran 81: 19-21, which means:
(That the [Quran] is the saying of an honorable messenger [: Gabriel.]
Endowed with power, with rank before the Lord of the throne; with authority there.
Obeyed [by angels and messengers] and trusty [concerning the message and the commands of God.] )
>> ([Mohammed] is taught by [Gabriel: an angel] mighty in power) means: Gabriel taught Mohammed the Quran and the Islamic law.
>> (To whom is referred for consultation) means: He is a consultant, whom angels consult in their affairs, as do prophets consult in their mission; because of his intelligence, brilliant mind and his high rank.)

You are afraid of seeing the truth. This is the psychology of your mockery.
Actually, shrieking that a position for which there is not a shred of evidence is The Truth is the symptom of fear.
Jesus Christ is the only human being born in this way; he was an angel in heaven, then was ordered by God to enter the fetus created by God in the womb of Virgin Mary, in a miraculous way.
God only knows the future, and He tells His apostle or messenger what He likes to tell him about the future, and God reveals some future tellings in the Heavenly Books.
This is in the Quran 72: 26-27, which means:
(26. The All-Knowing of the fore-future, and He does never acquaint any [of His creatures] about His knowledge of the fore-future.
27. Save only to any messenger whom He likes [to acquaint with some of the fore-future knowledge.])
This is the forbidding of taking the idols, the stars, the prophets, the kings ...etc as gods and join them with God in the worship and glorification.
The angel Gabriel
Why the Jews hated Gabriel
The reason for revealing the following ayat 2: 98-99:
[Some Jews asked Prophet Mohammed – salam to him: "Who brings the revelation to you?"
He said: "Gabriel brings it to me."
So one of the Jews said to his friends: "I am an enemy of this Gabriel, and I will not like him anymore from now on: why does he bring the revelation to one of the Arab, and does not bring it to one of us?"
Therefore, this aya was revealed, which means:]
(98. Say, "Anyone who opposes Gabriel should know that he has brought down the [Quran] onto your heart, according to God's will, [and not of his own accord, so what is the fault with Gabriel that they become his enemies?]
[And Gabriel] confirms [the Quran] that is by the hands [of Mohammed], and [the Quran provides] guidance [to anyone guided by it] and good news for the believers [of admitting them into Paradise in heaven].
99. Whoever is an enemy to God and His angels and His messengers [: apostles] and Gabriel and Michael – then, surely, God is an enemy to the unbelievers [in God, His angels and His messengers.])
Shifting the revelation from the Children of Israel to the Arab nation:
[God – be glorified – addressed the Muslims and said in the Quran 57: 29]
29. [We have shifted the revelation from Jews giving it to you: the Arab; because of their disbelief, stubbornness and their joining the idols and others with God in the worship and glorification];
so that [Jews:] the people of the Book may know not [anything of the revelation, from now on,]
[and they should know] that they have no control over anything of God's bounty [to prevent the revelation from reaching the Arab],
and that the bounty [of sending the revelation down] is [entirely] by the hand of God; He gives it to whomsoever [of His servants] He will;
and God is of abounding bounty [to His prophets and messengers, by sending the revelation onto them.])
The above interpretation is according to the late interpreter of the Quran and the Bible: Mohammed-Ali Hassan Al-Hilly.
My explanation, which is also based on this interpretation:
The revealing of the Quran to Mohammed - salam to him - is in fact the end of the revealing to the Children of Israel or the Israelite, to whom will not be sent any messenger or apostle out of themselves, like the previous prophets who were sent out of them.
