Prophet Muhammad was visited by the Angel Gabriel (or Jibril). Even the Jews and Christians who accompanied the prophet were convinced that the Angel Gabriel was visiting the prophet and they got the evidences of this truth. Who are denying this fact can refer to the proofs that Quran is God words revealed to the prophet through the angel Gabriel. One of the basic proofs is the scientific miracles that are mentioned in Quran scientific verses and their scientific validity were only proved recently and after Quran revelation with 1400 years. Even presently, not all non Muslims deny these facts.

Muslims believe that Jesus Christ was the greatest of the prophets below Muhammad. In addition, they do not believe that Christ died for people's sins.Muslims believe that Muhammad is the greatest prophet, a messenger of God. Muhammad, as a habitual action, left to a nearby cave in the surrounding mountains where he would pray and seclude himself. Later, he reported that in that cave, at the age of 40, he received his first revelation from God.Muslims believe that in the cave called Hira, Muhammad was visited by the angel Gabriel, who revealed to Muhammad a verse from the Quran. The cave was located on the mountain called Jabal An-Nour, which was located near Mecca. The angel Gabriel came to Muhammad in the year 610 B.C. and said, 'Recite', and Muhammad replied, 'I am unable to recite'. After this, the angel Gabriel came forth to Muhammad and heavily embraced him. The angel Gabriel wanted Muhammad to recite chapter 96 of the Quran.~Prince Lion - A True Christian.Source: Self-knowledge

The supposed meeting between Muhammad and Gabriel is not recounted in the Qur'an, since the Qur'an is not actually a story of Muhammad's life, but rather the moral lessons that God wanted to impart to the world through Muhammad. Discussions of Muhammad's encounters with Gabriel are recounted in numerous Hadiths and the Sirat An-Nabi (Biography of Muhammad).As for the physical location where Muhammad is said to have met Gabriel, this was the CAVE AT MOUNT HIRA, in modern-day Saudi Arabia.
