Know Your 4 Enemies

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate 

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam. 

Know your 4 enemies in this life

 

1. Dunya/Material World -- worldly desires, all that which busies you away from Allah (worldliness)

2. Shaytan/Shaytan -- whispers to you

3. Nafs/Ego -- desires that distract, disadvantage or distance you from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala

4. Hawa/Caprice -- "I feel like it" stuff not necessarily something you really want or like

 

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam. 

And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all. 

Wassalaam
