Sayyid Qutb - A Study of His Tafsir
Author: Badmas 'Lanre Yusuf
Publisher: IBT
Price: RM45.00
On August 29, 1966, Sayyid Qutb was sent to the gallows by the Nasser regime of Egypt. The specific charge against him was based on his now-celebrated book, Milestones, which denounces the existing order in Muslim societies. His other works have been translated into virtually every language that Muslims read. But it was his multi-volume tafsir (exegesis) of the Qur'an, Fi Zilal al-Qur'an (In the Shade of the Qur'an), to which he owes his fame. This work seeks to introduce both Sayyid Qutb and his tafsir, capturing his intellectual and spiritual background, and his methodology of explaining various theological, social, economic and political issues in the Qur'an.
