Just claiming that an angel revealed something to you does not make it true. After all, the Book of Mormon was also revealed by an angel (according to the Mormons). Islam and the Mormon revelations both claim to be a correction of the Bible, but only Mormonism uses the Bible.
At the same time both religions suffer from an embarrassing issue. Paul wrote:
But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
--Gal 1:8
According to this verse, there is no need for a different gospel, and we should be especially suspicious of one that has been brought by an angel. Neither the Quran nor the Mormon scriptures interact with this verse. By this I mean, there is no verse that explains why we can now disregard the verse in Gal 1:8. Any explaining is done by the the Mormons/Muslims themselves.
