Phenomenal book by @GiedreSaba. Essential read for anyone working on Qutb. Treats Qutb beyond the category of Islamism. Re-situates him in the literary contexts from which he emerged. A fresh and illuminating perspective

[Rabza @GiedreSaba]

@brannoningram Thank you!

Thanks! The book speaks about him from the perspective of his literary work, but touches up his religious life as well

@mayada_magdy92 @w_carruthers I loved passing through that part. Felt like in a video game

[Rabza @GiedreSaba]

@RaphaelCormack yeah, very interesting. I think Ikhwan at their early stage did not have a very clear line on many things. They just liked Tantawi Gohary a lot, he was an elderly excentric for them :)

[Rabza @GiedreSaba]

@RaphaelCormack Didn’t he also write a tafsir?

[Rabza @GiedreSaba]

@RaphaelCormack If I’m not mistaken, he was the editor in chief in the early Muslim Brotherhood press, and was writing long editorials illustrated with pictures of plants. I always thought he was drawn to biology, never suspected his interest in spiritualism.

[Slavs and Tatars @slavsandtatars]

Thread re: Belarusian Tatars and Language politics. Tatars who settled in 14th/15th c in Grand Duchy of Lithuania developed in the 16th c an Arabic script for Belarusian language (called Kitab), one of 3 scripts (w/ Cyrillic and Latin) of the Belarusian language.
