Q: Is the story of Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) coming to earth 4 times true?

Q: I am a Muslim Alhamdu;illah and I try to learn about Islam whenever possible and read the translation of the Holy Quran and believe in the Oneness of Allah Almighty, the prophecy of Hazrat Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) being the last prophet of Allah Almighty.
I also have a belief that the Torah, Injeel and Zaboor are also the Holy Books which are testified by Allah Almighty. But I also believe that the Torah and Bible have been altered or fabricated by Jews or Christians.
Kindly guide me whether I can read the translations of the Bible or Torah to know about the details about the history of various Prophets (alaihimus salaam) and to have a comparison where Jews or Christians fabricated the Holy Books.
I want to study these Holy Books for history knowledge as well as for comparison while having a strong belief that the Holy Quran is the ultimate truth.

Q:
1. I wanted to know your opinion on calling oneself a 'Deobandi'. I know that there is nothing wrong in follwoing the Ulama of Deoband and that is why I say that "I follow the Ulama of Deoband". However, I don't understand why people call themselves 'Deobandi' as it has become like name-calling now and although it might not be intended, it is causing uncessary groups and sects in Islam. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) told us to be united as Muslims. These days, no one calls themsleves Muslims, they call themselves 'Deobandi', 'Barelvi' 'Salafi', etc. Please give me some guidance on this name calling and what the correct way of referring to oneself.
2. if someone asks you what kind of Hanafi Muslim you are, what would you reply with? Would you call yourself a 'Deobandi'?
Q: My brother was informed by someone that Hazrat Hakeemul Ummat, Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (rahmatullahi alaihi) had kept bottles of wine with him to give as gifts to non-Muslims. Is it true, or is it a false allegation?
Q: Two persons, a Muslim and a Jew, quarrelled. The Muslim said, "By Him Who gave Muhammad superiority over all the people! The Jew said, "By Him Who gave Moosa superiority over all the people!" At that the Muslim raised his hand and slapped the Jew on the face. The Jew went to the Prophet and informed him of what had happened between him and the Muslim. The Prophet sent for the Muslim and asked him about it. The Muslim informed him of the event. The Prophet said, "Do not give me superiority over Moosa, for on the Day of Resurrection all the people will fall unconscious and I will be one of them, but I will be the first to gain consciousness, and will see Moosa standing and holding the side of the Throne (of Allah). I will not know whether (Moosa) has also fallen unconscious and got up before me, or Allah has exempted him from that stroke." (Buhari 3.41.594)
Please give me a description, I thought that Nabi Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) is more superior than Nabi Moosa (alaihis salaam)
