Ideological trends in Muslim Brotherhood (1945-1970)

The aim of this study is to scrutinise the ideological trends of the Society of the Muslim Brotherhood established in 1928, during the 25 years starting from the end of the Second World War until the death of Egyptian President Gamal-Abdel Nasser in 1970. For this purpose, firstly, the life of Hasan al-Banna, the founder of the Society and the only ideologue it had until he was murdered in 1949 is worked through. The political voyage of the Society in this process and al-Banna's political thought is examined. Secondly, after al-Banna's death, the life of Sayyid Qutb who is one of the leaders who stand out in the Society is taken up. Finally, another member of the Society, Abdel-Kader Ouda, who had contributed with his own works during the same period, is addressed. His life and political thought is analyzed.
