This verse...
"Say (O Muhammad (saws)): 'Whoever is an enemy to Jibraaeel (let him die in his fury), for indeed he has brought it (this Qur'an) down to your heart by Allah's Permission, confirming what came before it and guidance and glad tidings for the believers..." (2:97, translation of the meaning of course!)
.... triggered something I heard recently in the third CD of 'The Hereafter' series by Imam Anwar al-Awlaki regarding one of the earlier persons who claimed to be a Prophet. The 'revelations' he received seemed to all revolve around food and so the people said to him (paraphrased) , 'we don't know whether the angel is talking to your heart or your stomach!'
The CD also contained a phenomenal clear-headed account (maa sha Allah!) of how the door to fitan/trials was broken after the death of Umar ibn al Khattab (ra) and the events that lead to Karbala. Cannot recommend it enough.
