Social Justice in Islam

Perhaps the best known work of Sayyid Qutb, who was executed by the Egyptian regime in 1966. Despite the years that have passed since his death, the imprint of Qutb’s thought on contemporary Islamic movements remains profound. This book retains its relevance in many respects: the socio-economic inequality in Muslim societies, the need for viewing Islam as a totality, and the depiction of the West as a neo-Crusading force.
