Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan al-Muslimin)

The Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan al-Muslimin) is a socio-political organization founded in Egypt in 1928, advocating for Islamic principles in governance and society. It seeks to promote Islamic values through social services, education, and political activism, aiming for a society governed by Sharia law. Originally focused on spiritual and moral reform, the group has evolved into a significant political movement, with varying degrees of influence across the Arab world. While some view it as a peaceful advocate for Islamic identity, others associate it with political activism that has led to tensions with governments.
