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. Ironically, in all their rallies, they raise copies of the Qur'an, just as the Khawarij did on the days of Ali ibn Abi Taleb.

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. Likewise, a man is responsible for his household—his wife and children—their food, clothing, education, upbringing, and religious guidance. Every member of society carries their own share of responsibility as well, according to their role and position.

Musayka: When Islam Defends A Female Slave

By Hatim Hegab on March 9, 2026

She was a slave belonging to Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul. In that era, a slave was owned both in soul and body. Her master sought to force her into adultery for profit, but she refused and sought the Prophet's help. The Qur'an was then revealed, prohibiting the coercion of women, whether free or enslaved, into such sins.
