Sayyid Qutb : «L’islam est un ordre intégré complet, un axe fixe autour duquel tourne la vie dans un ordre précis. […] Cela s’applique au mariage, à la nourriture, à l’habillement, aux contrats, à toute activité et travail, à toutes les relations sociales et commerciales, à tous les us et coutumes.»

CHAPTER 4 Jihadd in the cause of God / Archive.Today
As to persons who attempt to defend the concept of Islamic Jihaad by interpreting it in the narrow sense of the current concept of defensive war, and who do research to prove that the baules fought in Islamic Jihaad were all for the defense of the homeland of Islam – some of them considering the homeland of Islam to be just the Arabian peninsula-against the aggression of neighboring powers, they lack understanding of the nature of Islam and its primary aim. Such an attempt is nothing but a product of a mind defeated by the present difficult conditions and by the attacks of the treacherous orientalists on the Islamic Jihaad.
[…] It would be naive to assume that a call is raised to free the whole of humankind throughout the earth, and it is confined to preaching and exposition. Indeed, it strives through preaching and exposition when there is freedom of communication and when people are free from all these influences, as “There is no compulsion in religion; but when the above- mentioned obstacles and practical difficulties are put in its way, it has no recourse but to remove them by force so that when it is addressed to peoples’ hearts and minds they are free to accept or reject it with an open mind.

The chasm between Islam and Jahiliyyah [non-Muslim world] is great, and a bridge is not to be built across it so that the people on the two sides may mix with each other, but only so that the people of Jahiliyyah may come over to Islam.

– Sayyid Qutb: TAFSIR In the shade of the Qur’an (Commentary about verse 2:256)
– Sayyid Qutb (1950): Our struggle with the Jews
Sayyid Qutb: [EXCERPT] Whenever the Children of Israel reverted to evildoing in the land, punishment awaited them. The Sunna is resolute here: “If you return, then We return.”
And the Jews did indeed return to evildoing, so Allah gave the Muslims power over them. The Muslims then expelled them from the whole of the Arabian Peninsula.
… Then the Jews again returned to evildoing and consequently Allah sent against them others of his servants, until the modern period. Then Allah brought Hitler to rule over them.

À la fin de sa présentation, André Champagne a fait lire par l’animatrice de Radio-Canada cet extrait d’un livre (non identifié) sur Qutb : «En ce qui concerne le statut des femmes, l’auteur d’À l’ombre du Coran (Sayyid Qutb) juge que leur place naturelle est à la maison. Les sorties doivent être exceptionnelles. Quant à travailler, il ne saurait en être question pour la paix des ménages. Au besoin, le mari peut battre sa femme si elle cherche à séduire d’autres hommes.»

– Youssef Qaradawi (Auspices of the Ultimate Victory of Islam): Sayyid Qutb presented as one of the main influence behind the Islamic revival of the 20th century / Archive.Today
[S]ince the 1930s, grassroots Muslim revival movements put Islam onto the political agenda of almost every country within the dâr al Islâm region. Their common prototype remains the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, founded by Hassan Al-Bannâ (d. 1949), and their preachers, […] in addition to other authorities like the father of Muslim liberation theology, Sayed Qutb (d. 1966), as well as Abûl A‘lâ al Mawdûdî (d. 1979), Shaykh Kishk, and Muhammad al Ghazzâlî.

El-Banna is the founder of Islamic Relief, the most important Muslim charity worldwide. He is currently (September 2016) listed as the Chair of Islamic Relief Canada Board.
After he [Hany El-Banna] first arrived in the UK he began to read Sayed Qutb’s classic In the Shade of the Qur’an. “Qutb was hanged by the regime in 1965. But even as a young man he was a visionary.”
– Marie-Ève Martel (2006) : Entretien avec Abdelaziz Djaout
[pp.15-16] Addelaziz Djaout : Sans jamais préconiser la violence [sic], la logique de [Sayyid] Qutb permettait de considérer, il est vrai, les pouvoirs en place, ses tortionnaires en somme, comme des pouvoirs non musulmans. Les djihadistes, par une interprétation déformée et du Coran et des écrits de Qutb, déclareront plus tard la guerre à ces ennemis de l’interne et à leurs soutiens occidentaux.

[p.89] Boko Haram adhère au credo salafiste. [Son fondateur] Youssouf a déclaré : […] Chaque enseignement d’un savant doit s’appuyer sur les écrits et les enseignements d’érudits salafistes. Tous les savants islamiques qui dénigrent Ibn Taymiyya, Saïd Qutb, Hassan al-Banna et Oussama Ben Laden ne sont pas de véritables savants.

[pp.80-81] Boko Haram embraces the Salafist creed. [Its founder] Yusuf Yusuf stated in sermons before 2009 the following: […] Every teaching of a scholar must be supported by the writings and teachings of Salafists scholars. All Islamic scholars that undermine Ibn Taymiyya, Sayyid Qutb, Hassan al-Banna and Osama Bin Laden are not authentic Islamic scholars.

NYPD: [p.17] The political aspect of jihadi-Salafi ideology is heavily underpinned by the work of Sayyid Qutb, an Egyptian author, Islamist, and the leading intellectual of the Muslim Brotherhood in the1950’s and 1960’s. He believed that Islam was under attack from the West and divided the world into the Muslim and the non-Muslim. To Qutb, democracy challenged the sovereignty of God’s divine law and should be resisted. Moreover, he also contended that militant jihad had to be used to attack institutions and societies in order to overthrow non Islamic governments and to bring about a “pure” Islamic society.
– Daniel Lemay (La Presse – 2 décembre 2007) : Critique du livre de Lawrence Wright ‘La guerre cachée : la genèse de la violence islamiste’ / WebArchive
Daniel Lemay : Le tableau, fascinant, s’ouvre sur l’Égyptien Sayyid Qutb, propagateur de cette vision d’un islam «total et sans compromis». Qutb, un lettré, a étudié aux États-Unis et en est rentré convaincu que la laïcité, le matérialisme, l’individualisme, le mélange des sexes et la démocratie – qui «place entre les mains du peuple une autorité censée n’appartenir qu’à Dieu» – ont contaminé l’islam à travers le colonialisme». Son message aux musulmans: islam et modernité sont incompatibles et l’homme blanc doit être détruit «à la première occasion».
