مَنْ كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِلَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَجِبْرِيلَ وَمِيكَالَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَدُوٌّ لِلْكَافِرِينَ
Abdul Mannan Omar
`(Let him bear in mind that) whoever is an enemy to Allâh and His angels and His Messengers and Gabriel and Michael, then, of course, Allâh (Himself) is an enemy to such disbelievers.´
Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and messengers, to Gabriel and Michael,- Lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject Faith.
Ali Unal
(Enmity to Gabriel, who does nothing other than what he is commanded to do by God, means enmity to God and to His will.) Whoever is an enemy to God, and His angels, and His Messengers, and (so) Gabriel, and Michael, (should know that) God is surely an enemy to the unbelievers.

Commentary 2:98 Malâ’ik مَلَائِكَ (plu. Angels) are part of the systems through which Allâh executes His Will, both in the physical and the spiritual worlds. They are…
مَن كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِّلَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَجِبْرِيلَ وَمِيكَالَفَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَدُوٌّ لِّلْكَافِرِينَ
2:98 Malâ’ik مَلَائِكَ (plu. Angels) are part of the systems through which Allâh executes His Will, both in the physical and the spiritual worlds. They are message bearers and agents of the All-Mighty King (Mâlik), not ghosts or spirits, but symbols of some Divine Laws we are unaware of it. In the physical world they are the medium, which form a link in a chain of laws governing nature. The Arch-Angel Mîkâlaمِيكَالَ or Michael is the highest in rank in the realm of elements and of bodies. In the spiritual world, the Archangel Gabriel جِبْرِيلَ occupies the highest rank (2:97). The inspiration people receive to do righteous deeds and the inner impulse people experience that moves their minds to do good and shun evil, are the works of Gabriel. Belief in angels means turning a good thought into action. By ignoring this thought, a person loses the chance to do good, and by repeatedly ignoring such impulses and thoughts, the person moves away from the path of virtue. Therefore, belief in angels is an essential part of the Islamic religion. The enemy of Gabriel would refer to rejecters (disbelievers) of the Divine Revelations.
