ibrahim-jibril

The most mention of Jibril with any previous prophet... 

are with Ibraham/Abrahim and his family.

You find the mentioning of Jibril a.s. on numerous occasions,

You find it from the moment that Ibrahim was thrown into hat fire.

It says, that when Ibrahim was to be thrown into the fire, áll of the angels wanted to help him.

Michael a.s. was waiting for a command from Allah swt to put the fire out.

Allah could have easily just caused it to storm and the fire goes out.

All of the angels are waiting and wondering... 

why there is a delay in the command to do away the fire...

or to protect Ibrahim a.s.

So Jibril comes to Ibrahim a.s., and he says:

'Is there anything you want me to do for you?'

Ibrahim knows why Jibril is asking that question.

He says, I am not elite (?) for that.

Look, if it's from you, I don't want anything from you.

He said, if it's from Allah then okay.

He recognizes that Jibril was not given a command from Allah to put the fire out.

So if it's from Allah, then I'll take it, if it's from you, Jibril...

Look, Allah has a plan right?

So Jibril is telling Ibrahim: 

Why don't you just ask Him, just ask Allah.

Ibrahim a.s. says: Allah knows my situation.

His knowledge of my situation, makes it irrelevant for me to ask.

Abraham knows that Allah is going to make a way out of this.

So Jibril a.s. wanted to help hem.

But Ibrahim was the first one in that situation...

to say: Allah is enough for me, and He is the best of protectors.

And obviously the plan of God swt was...

that the fire wasn't going to burn Abraham.

It would be cool and peaceful on Ibrahim a.s.
