About the author
Sayyid Qutb
163 books2,116 followersSayyid Ibrahim Husayn Shadhili Qutb (Arabic: سيد قطب) was an Egyptian political theorist and revolutionary who was a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
As the author of 24 published books, with around 30 unpublished for different reasons (mainly destruction by the state), and at least 581 articles, including novels, literary arts critique and works on education, Qutb is best known in the Muslim world for his work on what he believed to be the social and political role of Islam, particularly in his books Social Justice and Ma'alim fi al-Tariq (Milestones). His magnum opus, Fi Zilal al-Qur'an (In the Shade of the Qur'an), is a 30-volume commentary on the Quran. Even though most of his observations and criticism were leveled at the Muslim world, Qutb also intensely disapproved of the society and culture of the United States, which he saw as materialistic, and obsessed with violence and sexual pleasures. He advocated violent, offensive jihad.
During most of his life, Qutb's inner circle mainly consisted of influential politicians, intellectuals, poets and literary figures, both of his age and of the preceding generation. By the mid-1940s, many of his writings were included in the curricula of schools, colleges and universities. In 1966, he was convicted of plotting the assassination of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser and was executed by hanging.
Qutb has been described by followers as a great thinker and martyr for Islam, while many Western observers (and some Muslims) see him as a key originator of Islamist ideology, and an inspiration for violent Islamist groups such as al-Qaeda. Qutb is widely regarded as one of the most leading Islamist ideologues of the twentieth century. Strengthened by his status as a martyr, Qutb's ideas on Jahiliyya (pre-Islamic Arabia) and his close linking of implementation of sharia (Islamic Law) with Tawhid (Islamic monotheism) has highly influenced contemporary Islamist and Jihadist movements. Today, his supporters are identified by their opponents as "Qutbists" or "Qutbi".

August 14, 2010Islam bukan tentang tudung labuh, bersolat dan puasa atau mana-mana sifat luaran semata-mata. Baca buku ini dan kamu akan tahu apa sebenarnya Islam, apa yang harus seorang yang mengaku Islam lakukan. Buku yang mahu mengetuk bertalu-talu pintu hati kamu dan saya agar bangun dari lena yang panjang.
Hadiah daripada naqibah usrah untuk saya kongsi dengan seorang teman seusrah. Pernah terlihat di rak buku Abah tapi waktu itu tidak tertarik membacanya. Sebelas daripada lima belas bab adalah tulisan Sayyid Abul A'la Maududi dan yang selebihnya adalah tulisan Sayyid Qutb.
"Ini adalah perjuangan yang pahit, perjuangan yang panjang... tetapi merupakan perjuangan yang jelas... perjuangan yang tulen.
Dan Allah bersama-sama kita. Allah berkuasa untuk melaksanakan urusan-Nya, tetapi sebahagian manusia tidak mengetahuinya." [Sayyid Qutb:]

Buku ini setebal 190 muka surat sahaja, tetapi saya mengambil masa yang agak lama untuk membacanya. Mengambil masa yang lama kerana judul ini bukanlah judul yang ringan, bukan setakat untuk dibaca, tetapi juga perlu ditaddabur dan difahami dengan hati dalam membina fikrah Islamiyyah.
Dua tokoh Islam yang hebat dan masyhur- Sayyid Qutb dan Al-Maududi menulis judul ini dengan penuh teliti, dicerakinkan kepada 15 bab yang khususnya membincangkan hubungan antara kalimah tayyiba (syahadah) dengan perjalanan hidup sebagai Muslim.
Pada awal bab telah menyentuh tentang siapa orang Islam, apa ertinya menerima Islam, adakah lahir-lahir Islam menjamin akhirnya seorang Islam? Dan banyak lagi perbincangan yang diutarakan.
Saya mewajibkan diri untuk membaca judul ini dengan kefahaman dan semoga usaha penerbit dalam menerbitkan buku ini diredhai Tuhan!
