There are references in The Bible that God is speaking to prophets (God spoke to Noah - Gen 8:15, God spoke to Abraham - Gen 24:7, God spoke to Jacob - Gen 31:11, God spoke to Moses - Exo 6:2, God spoke to Samuel -1Sam 3:17, God spoke to David - 2Sam 23:3, etc...)
If the question is asking for what was Mohammad doing when Jibriel appeared to him. The answer is:
Mohammad was meditating or sleeping in a cave called Hira where he used to go and spent time in meditaion when the following incident happened. Mohammad had a strange experience at the cave of Hira while he was sleeping in one of these trips. A spirit appeared to him and forced him three times to the ground so that Mohammad thought he was visited by an evil spirit and going to die. This spirit made him recite the first verses of Quran (found in the 96th chapter of the modern day Quran). The terrified Mohammad went to his wife Kadijah and told her to cover him up and she covered him until his fear was over. Then she took him to her cousin Waraqah and he told Mohammad that it was an angel of God who appeared to him. After this incident Mohammad had suicidal thoughts. Later, Mohammad claimed that when he was on the way to a mountain to throw himself down to commit suicide a voice was heard, "You are the messenger of Allah and l am Gabriel." When this incident was told to Kadijah she told him, "I swear by Allah that you are a Messenger for this nation." One thing to notice here is that the spirit appeared to Mohammad is not the Gabriel who appeared in the Biblical incidents. Two main reasons for this is that: 1) when Gabriel appeared to Biblical personalities they were not terrified or had suicidal attempt after the incident as Mohammad did and 2) Mohammad's later revelations were contradictory to Biblical messages came through Gabriel (Example: Gabriel told Daniel that Messiah would die for others and Gabriel told Mary that Jesus would be called the Son of God).
Answer B : Hints on Answer A Above1. How; in the answer above; one confirms that God never spoke to Muhammad. God never spoke directly to any of God prophets except prophet Moses and prophet Muhammad [only once when he was supported by his miraculous trip from Makkah (or Mecca) to AlQods (or East Jerusalem) and from there to the Heavens]. all other God prophets; including Muhammad were spoken by God through His angels.2. Muhammad was going to cave Hiraa for meditating and Angel Gabriel didn't force him to the ground. The angel hugged him strongly and that exhausted Muhammad.
3. Muhammad never thought of committing suicide. I wonder of the source of these lies. sorry to say that because it is really a lie that I never heard about before.
4. how one confirms that the Angel appeared to Muhammad was neither an angel nor is Gabriel. I invite those to read about the proofs of the Quran authenticity and that it reflects real God word revelations to prophet Muhammad (PBUH). They can consult those who converted to Islam to know the truth.
5. Quran was revealed to correct for the alterations introduced in the written texts of the Bible and Torah. So, how the story is reversed and Quran is considered false because doesn't agree with the Bible.

If the God is the only one with different name then why should you talk about religion about changing it?
You are right that the name you call God is not important - as long as you speak of the same God - the One and Only God. BUT: God spoke to Moses and said that He will send other prophets with other messages over time. He spoke to Jesus after Moses. He spoke to Muhammad after Jesus, etc. So each new prophet that came brought a new message - an updated message. It is important to follow each new prophet as they come. Muhammad was the only prophet who said: "I am the last prophet". www.freequran.org
