Milestones: A Call to Islamic Resurgence Martyr Sayyid Qutb’s Milestones is a groundbreaking work that ignited passionate debate and continues to shape Islamic discourse. This powerful text offers a scathing critique of contemporary society, which Qutb characterizes as engulfed in a state of "Jahiliyyah" - a pre-Islamic era of ignorance. In its place, Qutb envisions a radical transformation through a return to the pristine purity of early Islam. With unwavering conviction, he outlines a path for the Muslim world to reclaim its spiritual and political sovereignty. Milestones (Arabic: معالم في الطريق, romanized: ma‘ālim fī t-tarīq) is not merely a philosophical treatise but a clarion call to action. Qutb's prose is both incendiary and inspiring, making this book essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of modern Islamic thought. This English translation provides a vital opportunity to engage with one of the most influential and controversial works of the 20th century.
