indeed, gabriel is described repeatedly in the Qu'ran as being responsible for causing Mary to become pregnant

and also, yes, John the Prophet notably also had contact with angels, who admonish him not to prostrate himself to him because "we are the same as you"

it's really clear once you read Enoch that the entire canon of most mainstream christianity mistakenly believes that angels are purely disincarnate even though there is so many clues even without the clear and explicit "fallen angels impregnating women" part and the "angels are created beings" part

they are capable of telepathy, they have faster than light travel, they can induce visions, and clearly they can induce pregnancy, and that reminds me, in some obscure sect i remember in some book about sex magick the implication that jesus was the product of artificial insemination

remarkably similar to many of the tropes of the modern UFO contact stories too

I had never heard that about Gabriel and Mary in the Qu'ran. That's interesting because wasn't Gabriel attributed to be the angel that revealed the Qu'ran to Muhammad?

Also, when you read the story of Samson's miraculous birth, his mother was first visited by an angel, who told her she would get pregnant with a special son, and then her husband was insistent on meeting this "guy" she had spoken to...

yeah, it really quite blows your mind once you start pulling at this thread
