Sayyid Qutb's Doctrine of Jāhiliyya
This article focuses on one of the most striking ideas to come out of the radical Islamist movements of recent decades: the doctrine of jāhiliyya presented by the Egyptian activist Sayyid Qutb (1906–66) in his latest writings
"Denomination" as a Label for Some Islamic Phenomena
This response to Mark Sedgwick's article on "Sects in the Islamic World" focuses specifically on the word "denomination," both for those groups that Sedgwick so labels and for those that I consider might be so labeled. For the Sunni/Shi'i distinction, I do not find the word "denomination" appropriate. Depending on the context, I suggest "division," "establishment," or "religious minority." The label "denomination" can be useful for either tariqas…
Sayyid Qutb and Islamic Activism. A Translation and Critical Analysis of Social Justice in Islam
This work provides a translation of a book by Sayyid Qutb, a forerunners of the current resurgence of Islam. Its author was a prominent Islamic activist in Egypt in the late 1940s and early 1950s, and was jailed and eventually executed for his activities.

The rise of a vigorous and sometimes violent Islamist movement in Egypt over the last quarter century has attracted considerable attention from the media and scholars, as have the efforts to control it at the political and police level. Less attention has been given to those who have responded to this challenge at the level of ideological debate and in their writings sought to defend the essentials of the existing system on Islamic grounds. One o…
Islam as a ‘system’ in the later writings of Sayyid Qutb
Over thirty years ago Wilfred Cantwell Smith remarked of the influential Indo-Pakistani writer, Sayed Abul Ala Mawdudi, that he 'would appear to be much the most systematic thinker of modem Islam; one might even wonder whether his chief contribution, in the realm of interpretation, has not been for good and ill his transforming of Islam into a system or, perhaps more accurately, his giving expression to a modem tendency so to transform it'.' I be…
Islam and Ideology
It is probably fair to say of labels such as “fundamentalist,” “modernist,” and “secularist,” which are in common use today in writing about modern Islam, that we cannot live very easily with them, but that we certainly cannot live without them
