DR AHMAD FAROUK MUSA
“Mankind today is on the brink of a precipice, not because of the danger of complete annihilation which is hanging over its head – this being just a symptom and not a real disease – but because humanity is devoid of those vital values which are necessary not only for its healthy development but also for its real progress”.
These are the first few words written by Sayyid Qutb in his last book Ma’ālim fi at Tarīq (Milestones), the book that is believed by many biographers of Sayyid Qutb to be the main reason why he was sentenced to death.
