4.0 out of 5 starsproperty and justice
By Anne Norton on December 14, 2004
Format: Paperback
Social Justice and Islam confounds many prevalent prejudices about both Sayyid Qutb and Islam. The book, written after Qutb's sojourn in the United States, contains a sharp critique of sexual harassment and the commodification of women. The book explores the political implications of the Muslim practice of zakat. Zakat is ordinarily viewed as a form of charity, a type of alms for the poor. Qutb argues that zakat, properly understood, provides a means for rectifying the imbalances and momentary instabilities of the market while preserving private property and commerce; enables the protection and just distribution of common goods, and provides both principles and practices that secure social welfare without breeding dependency or diminishing human dignity. The most illuminating aspect of the book is the recognition of the importance of human dignity to economic justice and political order. Qutb is of interest not only to Muslims but to anyone interested in political economy.

5.0 out of 5 starsSo that you know where it comes from
By Jonathon York on April 17, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is essential reading for those who want to know the origins of contemporary Islamism as an ideology. If you want to understand the mindset of the radical Islamist, the Islamic Brotherhood, al Qaeda, the Iranian revolutionaries in 1979, or the Taliban, you must read this book, along with Milestones by the same author.

By David on February 6, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is an important document for Western people to read, It is a foundation document that has been part of the thinking by many anti-Western Muslims. It has many valid insights to help us all understand to understand the evolution of some ideas held by leaders of radical Isalm.

1.0 out of 5 starsThe description above is misleading, and misspelled.
By John Mark on July 3, 2016
Format: Paperback
The description above is misleading, specifically the phrase:
“a leading figure in the Muslim Brethen of Egypt”

He is a founding member of the Muslim Brotherhood. His brother taught Osama Ben Laden at King Abdul Aziz University in Saudi Arabia. Arguably his book “Milestones” is the guidebook of Political Islam. His writing heavily influenced Osama, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and Mohammed Atta.
