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.
