Which nation is the greatest opponent of Hadrat Jibril علیہ السلام?

Explanation

In Surah Al-Baqarah (verses 97-98), Allah (SWT) said that whoever is an enemy of Jibril علیہ السلام is an enemy of Allah, because Jibril علیہ السلام brings down the Quran by Allah's command. The Jews considered Jibril علیہ السلام as their enemy because, in their view, Jibril علیہ السلام is the angel of punishment and hardship, while they considered Mika'il علیہ السلام as the angel of mercy.

Good to know

Hadrat Jibril علیہ السلام is one of the closest angels to Allah (SWT) and was entrusted with bringing revelation to all the prophets. The Jewish scholars believed that Jibril علیہ السلام brought down punishment upon the Children of Israel and destroyed their kingdoms, so they harbored enmity towards him. In response, the Quran made it clear that opposition to Jibril علیہ السلام is in fact opposition to Allah.
