Muslim Brotherhood  

Definición

  • Founded in 1928 by Hasan al-Banna, the Muslim Brotherhood, also known as Muslim Brothers, or Muslim Brethren, is one of the most influential modern Islamic movements. Its name is derived from the verse of Qur'an stating that Muslims are nothing but brothers, and as this name suggests, the movement's major objective is to maintain unity and create a sense of brotherhood among Muslim fellows.
