Who is our enemy?

An enemy is a person who tries to harm you He does not wish for your well-being. Your progress distresses him. He does everything to impede your progress. Such type of people exist. They want to harass us in this Dunya. They render our life miserable by creating problems for us. But we all know that just like how this Dunya is temporary, the problems of this Dunya are of the same nature too. More serious than thisarethe problems in the Aakhirah which can at times become eternal and irremediable. When we analyse the problems of the Dunya and Aakhirah in this perspective, we find that the problems in Aakhirah are harder, more serious and permanent. Problems in the Aakhirah are due to our sins. Therefore, ourgreatest enemy aresins. Thus, we ourselves becomeour greatest enemy when we commit sins.
