Shūrà and Democracy: Two Sides of the Same Coin
Since the beginning of the modern period - usually called the Renaissance (Nahda in Arabic) - prominent pre-Islamists and Islamists such as Jamāl al-Dīn al-Afghānī, Rashīd Ridā and Yūsuf al-Qaradāwī have condemned the political oppression that prevails in much of the Muslim world and attributed its backwardness to that oppression. For many of those authors, the solution is the implementation of the old Arab institution of consultation (shūrà), wh…
The Nation of Islam and the Muslim World: Theologically Divorced and Politically United
The Nation of Islam (NOI) is an African American religious movement that originated in Detroit, Michigan, during the 1930s based on a rather heterodox form of the Muslim religion. Founded by the enigmatic Wallace D. Fard and taken over by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad upon Fard's disappearance in 1934, the NOI came to exert important economic, political, and cultural influence in the African American community with its program of economic indepen…
The Muslim Brothers in Egypt
The founder of the Muslim Brothers’ Society, Hasan al-Banna, was born in 1906 in Mahmudiyya, a small village near Alexandria.1 Under the influence of his father, who had some reputation as a religious scholar, young Hasan read Rashid Rida’s al-Manar2 and frequented the hasafiyya Sufi order.

Islamism and Modernity: The Political Thought of Sayyid Qutb
Sayyid Qutb was one of the most influential Islamic thinkers of the twentieth century. However, for much of his life he was a member of Egypt’s liberal intelligentsia, and he published a number of works ranging from literary criticism to romantic fiction. It was his disillusionment with the corrupt parliamentary democracy of pre‐Revolution Egypt that led him to turn to Islam as the solution to all problems. Qutb became the main ideologue of the M…
Ḥasan al‐Bannā and Sayyid Quṭb: Continuity or Rupture
Introduction to Political Islam1
This paper explores how and why Islamism (i.e. political Islam) emerged in the last decades of the 19th century. It resorts to original sources to illustrate Muslim responses to the perceived threat of Westernisation and, notably, the development of Islamism as a reaction to the evolving socio-political conditions in the Middle East. In addition, it demonstrates that, despite claims to religious purity, Islamists have incorporated elements of the…
Ḥasan al‐Bannā or the Politicisation of Islam
The politicisation of Islam can be traced back to the establishment of the Muslim Brothers’ Society in Egypt in the late 1920s. Its founder, Ḥasan al‐Bannā, was greatly influenced by the European political religions that appeared in the first decades of the twentieth century, and there were significant similarities between the Society’s organisation and that of fascist parties. In addition, al‐Bannā embraced totalitarianism and developed the noti…
