Sayyid Qutb is another key thinker in Muslim Brotherhood. Similar to Hassan al-Banna, Qutb strongly believes that Islam alone has had the capacity to solve all the problems in the world and leads humanity into bright future under its rules and principles because Islam, according to Qutb, is “a practical way of life and its solutions are based on the foundation of the wholesome nature of man” (155). He also thinks that the struggle for achieving the dominance of Islam “is not a temporary phase but an eternal state - an eternal state, as truth and falsehood cannot co-exist on this earth” (75).

    Loss of hair can be a reason for worry for both men and women. Baldness can occur due to various reasons such as hormonal imbalance, thyroid problems, alopecia areata, scalp infections, and skin disorders. Even though the male pattern and female pattern baldness are different, both of them have a bad effect on the self-confidence of a person, man or woman. Baldness can also cause depression since it can alter the appearance of a person, also making them look older than their actual age. Therefore, it is important to deal with the condition since early treatment can help in regaining the hair faster.…

    Osama Bin Laden

    I had heard, repeatedly, that he was a relative latecomer to the Palestinian cause, that he had essentially declared solidarity with them merely to gain popularity in the larger Islamic world. That is not borne out by this book. In his very first speech, dated to 1994, bin Laden is already sounding the notes that reverberate throughout this collection: the entire Muslim world is under seige, from Afghanistan, to Palestine, to Iraq, to Chechnya and Bosnia; the humiliation (and emasculation) of Islam by the western world is the implicit goal. Now, clearly, one can quarrel with his analysis, but such a message has broad appeal. The editor and translator are to be commended for striking just the right balance here; they provide imformation, really crucial information, without taking immediate sides and without claiming a false neutrality either.…

    Qutb Sayyad, in comparison, did not view the state as a changing variable in history because he wanted more society-centric reform to occur. Their main concern was to take up the enemy of Islamic society. He believed that Islam can free every citizen from enslavement.
