Islamic Brotherhood (Ikhwan al-Muslimun)

The Islamic Brotherhood (Ikhwan al-Muslimun) is a religious and political organization founded in Egypt in 1928, aiming to promote Islamic principles in society and governance. It seeks to foster Islamic morals, social justice, and political activism among Muslims, often emphasizing the importance of implementing Sharia law. Over time, it has evolved into one of the largest and most influential Islamist movements, operating both as a social reform group and a political entity in different countries, sometimes facing government opposition due to its aims to shape societies according to Islamic values.
