Sunni Islamist ideology of Sayyid Qutb
Qutbism (Arabic : ٱلْقُطْبِيَّةِ , romanized : al-Quṭbīyah ) is an exonym that refers to the beliefs and ideology of Sayyid Qutb ,[ 1] a leading Islamist revolutionary of the Muslim Brotherhood who was executed by the Egyptian government in 1966.[ 2] Influenced by the doctrines of earlier Islamists like Hasan al-Banna and Maududi , Qutbism advocates armed Jihad to establish Islamic government , in addition to promoting offensive Jihad .
Sayyid Qutb's treatises deeply influenced numerous Jihadist movements across the world.[ 1] [ 3] [ 4] Qutbism has gained prominence due to its influence on notable Jihadist figures of contemporary era such as Abdullah Azzam , Osama bin Laden , Ayman al-Zawahiri , and Saif al-Adel .[ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] Its ideas have also been adopted by the Salafi-jihadist Islamic State organization.[ 7] It inspired Ruhollah Khomeini to create a variety of Qutbism, Khomeinism .[ 8]
Qutbist literature has been a major source of influence on numerous Jihadist organisations that have emerged since the 1970s. These include the Egyptian Islamic Jihad , Jama'ah al-Islamiyya , al-Takfir wal Hijra , Armed Islamic Group of Algeria (GIA), LIFG , Al-Qaeda , Al-Nusra Front , Islamic State , and others that have sought to implement their strategy of waging armed Jihad .[ 9] [ 10] [ 11]
