Gabriel - Not an Angel ?

I call it monotheism though, everyone and everything is God's control, but the question is if God's presence is in one and it can apparently be, even in the sectarian interpretation. God can be with people. God is in me and I am in God, and I do diminish my separate being for that oneness of being. There is no separate creation and creator but everything is belonging to the same oneness.
While on Earth we are just broken off from our creator and have to live under delusion, a kind of contradictory world. This is not the true face of things.
If we have control later as Maleikat/angels it is in symbiosis with the one being of what is called God, that phenomenon. We are a part and the foundation is monotheism, only one foundation. We act expressly out of that foundation and not separately as would be the case in deluded monotheism, but since we belong with the unity we have a share in the consensus and this is blasphemous to many people's consideration due to what image of God they have been fed since childhood or by lore after they got acquainted.
Everything is about We, the sectarian version of Quran also usually uses plural first person. It is only when Rabb as one unity is expressed that first person singular is used. If the angels had no part in determination the text would not say We about crucial decision-takings. God would not use incorrect grammar to refer to self for the sake of glorification, so We is not some majestic address for God. Many people argue that this is how a majestic person of Kings usually entitled themselves, but God is not a person, correct grammar applies and God is a one unity talked about in singular.
Sadly much of the common Arabic linguistic knowledge is inaccurate, so much is wrong utterly in terms of understanding.
Be well

Shortly after writting my previous post I thought about it a little more in depth. (actually I was only starring at the sunset in a cold wind)
There was this idea in the back of my head that the God described in the Quran is the one God, therefore anyone not believing in that one God in the Quran is deluded. Which would make Quranist the luckiest people alive (lol).
I can now see that the God the Quran is speaking of is merely the description of the Initiator, the Originator, the One, The-God, in arabic "Al-Lah"= Allah. Therefore all these religions out there speaking of such Divinity but giving it another name doesn't make them any less believer than we are. It also doesn't make them deluded.
Perhaps some of them associated with the One other divinities (perhaps Angels ? and ascribed names to them) but that's also for The God to judge.Bottom line is we are not following the God of Islam or the God of Quran but "THE GOD". Quran is simply the "reminder" to humanity about The One God.
So yeah Thank you, some of what you said did turn out for me to be truthful.

At a superficial level of reading the Quran, it seems for anyone ( most muslims) that it presents God, in a silly example it would look like "Hi, I'm Allah your God and this is my book the Quran, follow this or go to hell".
Therefore most people would limit the definition of God to "Islam" or the "quran" or "arabic language".
Whereas The God was here all this time, actually The God is the only true existence, many people recognize him under different names, but they still refer to that One Initiator of this entire thing. And that only makes them Believers. Even God says in the Quran that this is but a reminder.

Could you specify which part of that is relevant and related to the first group of believers and followers of Muhammad that were tested with their life ?
Because we can read that story in the Torah and learn from it.
And also because the Quran called the Torah a Guidance and a Light.
Read 566 and 568.
Peace.

I believe in the Torah ...but I can only read it and the story when I'm done with the bible, when I'm done with the Quran.
