Description: Islam stands for change. It seeks to change the individual and the society. This change covers every aspect of human life: from personal morality to business, economics and politics. It is only natural that Islam should be fought by those who want to keep the status quo. This is the way it has always been throughout history: from Adam to Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa, Isa, and Muhammad (peace be on them)ash-Shaheed (the Martyr) Sayyid Qutb. He was imprisoned, tortured and eventually executed on August 29, 1966. He was no ordinary Muslim. A man of impeccable Islamic credentials, he made an immense contribution to Islamic political thought at a time when the Muslim world was still mesmerized by such western notions as nationalism, the nation-State and fathers of nations. It was in this atmosphere that ash-shaheed Sayyid Qutb bravely raised his voice – indeed his pen – against these false ideologies and in one clean sweep denounced them as the modern-day Jahiliyyahh (the primitive savagery of pre- Islamic days). He knew that it was inevitable the forces ofJahilliyah 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 our words will suddenly spring to life and live on amongst the hearts that are dead, bringing them back to life as well.’ Many insights of ash-shaheed Sayyid Qutb have stood the test of time. His assertion that a virulent crusading spirit remains at the core of Western culture, despite a relative decline in active adherence to Christianity, has been tragically vindicated by the genocidal assaults on the Muslims of Bosnia, Chechnya, Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq, and the false imprisonment of tens of thousands of Muslim activists around the world re-enforce ash-shaheed Sayyid Qutb analysis of the Western world and their hatred of the Muslim World. Sayyid Qutb’s death earned him the ‘highest honour in Islam – Martyrdom – and his memory still provokes deep passions among millions of admirers.’ His books have been translated into virtually every language that Muslims read and remain hugelyinfluential. (His influence did not stop within "Sunni quarters"), the main translations into "Farsi "have been done by the ‘Rahbar’ of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatullah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, himself. ash-shaheed Sayyid Qutb will be remembered in history for his legacy of clearly defining the basic ideas of Tawhid (oneness of Allah) and Hakimiyyah (sovereignty of Allah), the clear distinction between pure faith and the association of partners with Allah, in worship and governance - overt and hidden, and the only hope for salvation of humanity. ash-shaheed Sayyid Qutb was smiling when he was executed, showing his conviction of the beautiful life to come in Jannah (Paradise) – a life he certainly and rightfully deserved.
