Muslim Brothers, The Curse That Plagued The Ummah

Muslim Brothers, The Curse That Plagued The Ummah

By Hatim Hegab on February 25, 2026

Since the early turmoil caused by the Khawārij, no trial has afflicted the Muslim community as deeply as that posed by the group known as “the Muslim Brothers” – commonly, and in my view mistakenly, referred to as the “Muslim Brotherhood” or as they are known in Arabic, The Ikhwan.

Everyone Should Carry Their Responsibility

By Hatim Hegab on February 8, 2026

In this hadith, the Prophet (peace be upon him) teaches us the true meaning of responsibility. In Islam, every person has a specific duty that they are accountable for and must uphold. Leaders have their own responsibilities and will be questioned by God about how they fulfilled them.

Every member of society carries their own share of responsibility as well, according to their role and position.
