Abstract

The issue of recognizing the enemy is of great importance for confronting enemies, and without recognizing the enemy's fronts and their characteristics, it is impossible to create deterrence against it or confront the enemy. This issue is doubly important in the present era, because after the Islamic Revolution of Iran and the rise of the Islamic Republic of Iran against the global arrogant powers and the creation of waves of resistance against the pharaohs of the time, the hostility of the arrogant powers and enemies of Islam has become more obvious and serious. Therefore, in the Islamic society of Iran, which is led and guided by the Supreme Leader and in the present era in the hands of Imam Khamenei, an analysis of Imam Khamenei's Quranic thought in the field of recognizing the enemy's front is of great necessity. Therefore, in this article, the author, using a descriptive-analytical method and collecting information through library methods and content analysis, discusses and examines the topic of "Recognizing the enemy's front from Imam Khamenei's perspective with emphasis on verses and narrations." The results of this study indicate that: The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, by advising people to avoid the enemy within, guides them to recognize the enemy outside and calls the factor of victory over the internal enemy recognition and victory over the internal enemy. He also lists characteristics based on verses of the Quran such as arrogant nature, enemy of hypocrisy, and pretending to be friends in times of hostility,
