The Enemy Within: Knowing Our Own Paradise
Imagine the Creator, with the greatest wisdom, warning us to distance ourselves from our enemy. This verse speaks to the subtle ways we invite our own ‘Iblîs’ into our lives, accepting the turmoil we know we’ll face if we heed the voice of doubt and temptation. We tend to think of the enemy as something external, a figure of darkness tempting us from afar. But here, we’re reminded that even in the purest state, where we have no need for anything, our ‘enemy’ can still threaten our peace. This is the promise of Paradise – a state of serenity where emptiness is not felt, but that state is so easily disturbed by unwanted thoughts and feelings. So, what is our ‘Paradise’ that we are warned to protect? It is the truth of our soul, the contentment of our hearts, the love of the Creator.
