Qutb's Ideas as Muslim Brotherhood's Ideology
The article discussed how Sayyid Qutb's ideas about "guardianship" (hakimiyya) evolved into a central focus within the Muslim Brotherhood organization. This shift led to the spread of concepts such as Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic ignorance), blazing ideological lines (mufasala), and the notion of a faithful group (ubeat mu'min), as well as a surge in takfir (excommunication) rhetoric and confrontation. The Ministry of Awqaf (Endowments) emphasized that Qutb's ideas were not limited to his writings but became integral to awareness programs and intellectual influence within the Brotherhood. These ideas contributed to transforming religiosity into extremism and violence, resulting in the excommunication of Muslims who disagreed with the extremist interpretation of Islamic authority. The report added that the concept of guardianship (hakimiyya) developed further under Sayyid Qutb's influence, inspired by the thoughts of Abu al-A’la al-Maududi. This has led to interpretations that are unstable among scholars of the Muslim community, thereby facilitating the exploitation of religious texts for radical purposes.
