Short Description
The Muslim Brotherhood movement, which was established by Imam Hasan Al-Banna, fought many battles against colonialism, Zionism, ignorance, and dependency.
At the beginning of the twentieth century a group of political forces emerged, carrying the beacon of renaissance to Egypt, even though it was still under British occupation. The National Party carried the banner of struggle and striving against colonialism. It fought fierce battles to instill Islamic values, such as wearing Hijaab, within the Egyptian society. Al-Liwaa’, the daily Egyptian newspaper of the National Party, fought a national battle against Qaasim Ameen and the press of the Ummah Party that was supporting the British colonialism.
The National Party, which defended Islamic values and rejected Westernization and Western values, was one of the reasons behind the revolution of 1919 AD / 1337 AH.
The power of the National Party waned after its leaders, Mustafa Kaamil and Muhammad Fareed, as the party disintegrated. Therefore, the Muslim Brotherhood movement emerged in 1928 AD / 1346 AH, and the Movement of Young Egypt was founded in 1933 AD/ 1351 AH.
The Muslim Brotherhood movement, which was established by Imam Hasan Al-Banna, fought many battles against colonialism, Zionism, ignorance, and dependency. Its main concern was to side with the poor and oppressed. The Muslim Brotherhood struggled against political despotism. It adopted an educational method to build the Muslim individual, the Muslim family, the Muslim community, and the Muslim Ummah.
Meanwhile, the movement of Young Egypt, which originated at the hands of its founder Mr. Ahmed Husayn, focused on direct political activity. The movement fought colonialism and tyranny. It sided with the poor and defended the rights of the people. However, it could not compete with the Muslim Brotherhood in terms of its strength and spread all over the country.
