Author: Sayyid Qutb

Publisher: IIFSO

Binding: paperback 303 pages

Review

As it name suggests, this work outlines the various stages in the establishment of a true Islamic life. After describing the mission of Islam and the methodology to achieve it, the author shows how the Prophet (pbuh) prepared and trained the first Muslim community and how later Muslims lost this initiative and revolutionary spirit.

The author speaks about the unique Quranic generation, the nature of the Quranic method, the characteristics of Islamic society, and a Muslim s nationality and his belief among other things.

Qutb wrote many books, but his most famous and widely read by far is Milestones, generally considered one of, if not the most influential Islamist tract ever written. Milestones (Ma'alim 'ala Al-Tariq), was an immediate best seller and is said to have been published in close to 2,000 editions.
