Sayyid Qutb
Sayyid Qutb is widely considered an ideologue of the radical Islamist movements in the present world. His writings and, in particular, his theory of jahiliyyah was viewed as a threat to the nationalistic regimes in the Muslim world from Egypt to Tashkent and is now viewed as a threat to the West.
Based on Qutbs own Arabic writings, The Political Thought of Sayyid Qutb explains, along with other ideas of Qutb, the force and intent of the jahiliyyah concept, and explores its development until it became a mature confrontational theory. The issues addressed in this book include
- the political, economic and intellectual specifics that played a substantial role in the development of the jahiliyyah theory
- the role of America in the stages of the theorys development
- Qutbs intellectual life, his political activism and his relation with the British-backed Monarch in Egypt and Nassers Republic
The book sheds light on Islamic radicalism and its intellectual origins by presenting new analysis of the intellectual legacy of one of the most important thinkers of modern Islamic revival. The Political Thought of Sayyid Qutb is essential reading for those with interests in Islam, philosophy and radical Islam.
Dr Sayed Khatab is a researcher in the School of Political and Social Inquiry at Monash University. His research interests focus on politics in the Middle East, and Islamic political thought and movements in the modern world. His publications include Arabism and Islamism in Sayyid Qutbs Thought on Nationalism, The Muslim World, 94, 2 (2004), 217244.

History, the wayward child, has forgotten the examples of mother Egypt.
There was an ancient legend in Egypt. When the god of wisdom and knowledge created History, he gave him a great writing book and a big pen, and said to him: Go walking on this earth, and write notes about everything you see or hear.
History went down and did as his god had told him, but sometimes he did not understand some subjects or did not know some things because he was yet young. Then he asked his god who answered every question.
Once History was walking and writing in his great book when, surprised, he saw a beautiful young woman who was a wise woman, too; she had a little boy whom she was teaching in a gentle manner.
History looked at her with great astonishment and cried, Who is it?, raising his face to the sky.
She is Egypt, his god answered. She is Egypt and that little boy is the world who is studyingthe god answered again.
When was she born? History asked.
I dont knowthe god of wisdom and knowledge saidI should ask the headgod.
Oh, sacred chief, when was Egypt born?
I dont rememberreplied the chief godmy grandfather told me a long story about this matter but I dont remember now. You may ask her about it. She knows that. She knows everything. She drank from the sacred Nile and learnt all.
The god of wisdom and knowledge said to History: You are allowed to ask her about her birth and about any other matter you have no knowledge of. Dont ask me anything else. Sit down now to study this lesson, and I will listen.
Why did those ancient Egyptians hold this belief? Because they were very advanced and possessed a great civilization before any other country. Egypt was a civilized country when other peoples were living in forests. Egypt taught Greece, and Greece taught Europe.
What happened when that little boy grew up?
When he grew up, he had thrown out his nurse, his kind nurse! He struck her, trying to kill her. I am sorry. This is not a figure of speech. This is a fact. This is what has actually happened.
When we came here to appeal to England for our rights, the world helped England against the justice. When we came here to appeal against Jews, the World helped the Jews against the justice. During the war between Arabs and Jews, the world helped the Jews, too.
Oh! What an undutiful world! What an undutiful boy!
The world is divided today into two large blocs, the Communist bloc in the East and the Capitalist bloc in the West. That is what appears on the surface, what everybody is saying and thinking. But we believe that it is a superficial division and not a real one, a division based on interests and not on principles, a struggle for goods and markets and not for ideas and convictions.... We should not be deceived by the fact that we see a strong and violent struggle between the Eastern and Western blocs, for both of them have a materialistic notion of life; each is similar to the other in its thinking, and neither struggles for ideas and principles but only for influence in the world and profits in the market. The real and profound struggle is between Islam on one hand and both the Eastern and Western blocs on the other.
(Sayyid Qutb 1949)
It is crystal clear that the real struggle in the future will not be between capitalism and communism and not between the Eastern camp and the Western camp, but it will be between the materialism visible throughout the world and Islam.
(Sayyid Qutb 1949)
To the memory and the souls of my parents,
