According to Islamic historical sources and scholarly traditions, Angel Jibreel (A.S.) visited the Holy Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) approximately 24,000 times throughout his Prophethood. These visits were primarily for the purpose of delivering divine revelation, guiding the Prophet (ﷺ), and offering spiritual support.
Jibreel (A.S.) was the chief angel of revelation, entrusted by Allah to convey the Holy Qur’an and other divine instructions. His visits began with the first revelation at Cave Hira and continued until the completion of the Qur’an over a period of 23 years. The frequency of these visits varied depending on the circumstances, with some periods having daily or multiple revelations.
While the exact number is not explicitly mentioned in the Qur’an or Hadith, the figure 24,000 is cited in classical Islamic literature and by scholars to reflect the immense volume of divine communication that took place. These visits were not only for Qur’anic verses but also included guidance on matters of law, ethics, and community affairs.
