Milestones

Maktabah's latest publication, Milestones by ash-shaheed Sayyid Qutb, is available now at an unbelievably low price - only £5. If this was for Milestones alone, it would have been a great offer but the appendices themselves are priceless. They include essays on Qutb, articles (interview with contemporaries of Qutb, fatwas on Qutb, and more), and even books such as Imam Hasan al-Banna's Kitab ul Jihad and Imam ibn Nuhaas's 'Mashari al-Ashwaq ila Masari al-Ushaaq' (the subject of the audio collection, Ibn al Akwa).

As sister Yvonne Ridley mentioned at a conference over the weekend in Blackburn, "Tony Blair does not want you to read this book so he is making it a crime to read it. He would much rather have you listen to Sami Yusuf and Hamza Yusuf".

New edition of the famous book by Syed Qutb which led to his execution Islam stands for change. It seeks to change the individual and the society. This change covers every aspect of human life: form personal morality to business economics and politics. It is only natural that Islam should be fought b those who want to keep the status quo. This is the way it has always been throughout history: Adam to Nuh, Ibrahrim, Musa, Isa, and Muahmmad (peace be upon them). It will happen to anyone who wants to stand up and proclaim the true message of Islam to the world.

In recent times we have the example of ash-shaheed Sayyid Qutb. He was imprisoned, tortured and eventually executed. He was no ordinary Muslim, a man of impeccable Islamic credentials, he made an immense contribution to Islamic and political thought at a time when the Muslim world was still mesmerised by such western notions as nationalism, the nation-state and the fathers of nations. Nationalist rhetoric laced with socialist slogans was the vogue. It was in this atmosphere that an-shaheed Sayyid Qutb bravely raised his voice – indeed his pen – against the false ideologies and in one clean sweep denounced them as a modern-day jahiliyyah (the primitive savagery of pre-Islamic days). He knew it was inevitable that the forces of jahiliyyah would seek to silence him and yet he, unlike others, courageously stood firm and was ready to sacrifice everything in the pursuit of seeking Allah’s pleasure. He writes ‘indeed our words will remain lifeless barren devoid of any passion, until we die as a result of these words, whereupon out word will suddenly spring to life and live on amongst'

‘….We heard that the death sentence….on Imam Shaheed Sayyid Qutb…..had been carried out….Such a great loss. Sayyid Qutb….a man who held fast to his religion, trusting in Allah’s victory. Read Milestones to find out why Sayyid (Qutb) was executed.’ - Zainab al-Ghazali
