1936 CE to 1947 CE

The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in 1928 by religious leader Hasan al Banna who established himself as the supreme guide leading his followers in a purified Islamic state.

The Brotherhood represents a trend in the Islamic reform movement that attributes the difficulties in Islamic society to a deviation from the ideals and practices of early Islam during the period of the first four caliphs.

The aim, therefore, is to return society to a state of purity by reforming it from within and purging it of foreign domination and influence.

The Brotherhood consists of nationwide cells, battalions, youth groups, and a secret apparatus for underground activities.
