Sayyid Qutb

Sayyid Qutb was an influential Egyptian Islamist thinker, writer, and activist in the mid-20th century. He is best known for his works that critique Western culture and advocate for a return to a strict interpretation of Islam. His book, "Milestones," argues for the establishment of an Islamic society, emphasizing social justice and moral values. Qutb's ideas have significantly impacted modern Islamist movements, inspiring both political and militant groups. He was arrested and executed in 1966, making him a martyr for many who seek to promote his vision of Islam and governance.
