Abstract
After a brief biography of Sayyid Qutb, one of the most important ideologues of the Muslim Brotherhood, delving into his ideas and his role in the Tanzim ‘65, the chapter goes on to analyse the reception of his ideas after his death in 1966. This includes the reactions of the state, the moderates and the radicals within the movement. It seems that Qutb is still highly revered, but that many deny the radical implications of his ideas.
