        abstract = {Sayyid Qutb (1906-1966) was an influential Egyptian writer, educator, and Islamic theorist, recognized for his significant contributions to modern Islamic thought and political ideology. A key figure in the Muslim Brotherhood, Qutb became known for his critique of contemporary Muslim societies and his call for an Islamic resurgence. His most famous work, Ma'alim fi al-Tariq (Milestones), published in 1964, outlined his vision for an Islamic state and society, emphasizing the need for a return to Quranic principles and the rejection of Western influence. This book became central to the ideology of "Qutbism," advocating for an Islamic society through struggle (jihad) and the establishment of a unique Muslim identity. Born on October 9, 1906, in Egypt, Qutb was an active writer and revolutionary. His critiques of the Egyptian government under President Gamal Abdel Nasser led to his imprisonment and eventual execution in 1966 for allegedly plotting Nasser’s assassination. Despite his controversial views, Qutb’s writings, including Fi Zilal al-Qur’an (In the Shade of the Quran), continue to influence various Islamic movements, inspiring both revivalist and militant ideologies. His legacy remains divisive, with some viewing him as a visionary Islamic thinker, while others see him as a radical who incited extremism.},
