The Islamic Society (Society of Muslim Brothers)

The Islamic Society, commonly known as the Muslim Brotherhood, is a socio-political organization founded in Egypt in 1928. It aims to promote Islamic principles in society through religious, social, and charitable activities, while also advocating for political change aligned with Islamic values. The organization seeks to influence governance and society to reflect Islamic ethics, often emphasizing social justice, community welfare, and moral reform. Its approach varies across countries—sometimes engaging in political processes, other times focusing on social services—making it a significant, yet sometimes controversial, force in the Muslim world.
