	Al-Ikhwan Al-Muslimeen: the Muslim Brotherhood. - Encyclopedia.com
		The organization added a militant arm during World War II and established an Ikhwan quasi-judiciary that issued fatwas against those who were judged to have betrayed faith and country.
		Ikhwan writings show that the level of its persecution under Nasser was greater than what they endured during the monarchy.
		The Ikhwan publicly espouses that preparing a society for an Islamic government should be the first step toward Islamization.

	A History of Muslim Philosophy
		The Ikhwan al‑Safa themselves, the magnates among them, were not of this opinion; they reiterated in this connection that their sole aim was to uphold the faith and attain the bliss in the hereafter.
		The view of the Ikhwan al‑Safa was: since the mass of the universe is not of the same density, the more dense may move through the less dense, as the fish swim in water and the birds fly in air.
		Unfortunately, the Ikhwan al‑Safa sided with Ptolemy and rejected, at the same time, the view that the heavenly bodies revolve from west to east, [82] a view which seems to have had some upholders among the Pythagoreans.

	ISCA - The Islamic Supreme Council of America
		The radical Ikhwan movement preached and fought the jihad in the harsh areas of nomads and tribes, where primitive tribal law and desert warfare was a way of life.
		In an attempt to counter balance the Ikhwan's influence, sometime after 1920 the concept of "mutawa'a" was established for the purpose of religious education.
		Despite the repression of the militant Ikhwan, the Wahhabi's experience under the leadership of al-Saud family in Arabia from the 18th century until the present proved it is possible for modern-day states to be based on religion.

		The Ikhwan al-Safa themselves, the magnates among them, were not of this opinion; they reiterated in this connection that their sole aim was to uphold the faith and attain the bliss in the hereafter.
		The view of the Ikhwan al-Safa was: since the mass of the universe is not of the same density, the more dense may move through the less dense, as the fish swim in water and the birds fly in air.
		The Ikhwan al-Safa decided in favour of the brain and held that it is the brain where the processes of perception, emotion, and conception develop.

	Muslim Brotherhood Movement Page (Al-Ikhwan Al-Muslimoon)
		When one of the Ikhwan is transfered from one country to another, he is never asked to change his thoughts or understandings, but rather spend sometime learning about the new circumstances, before getting envolved in the work of the jama3ah in his new branch.
		Hence the Ikhwan believes that the problem with the current regimes is the non-application of the shari'a, and not that the regime is kafir.
		Ikhwan believe that Islamic states should unite, that is the final goal, but for Ikhwan can't change the universe all at one time, if two Islamic states are established rushing into unity may lead to a fast break up, Ikhwan believe that high level cooperation should be achived, then next step is the merging.

	Ikhwān al-Safā' [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]

	Ikhwan
		In 1919 the Ikhwan began a campaign against the Hashimid kingdom of the Hejaz on the northwestern coast of Arabia; they defeated King Husayn ibn 'Ali at Turabah (1919), then conducted border raids against his sons 'Abd Allah of Transjordan and Faysal of Iraq (1921-22).
		The Ikhwan were also instrumental in securing the provinces of Asir, just south of the Hejaz on the coast (1920), and Ha`il, in the north of the peninsula, along the borders of Transjordan and Iraq (1921).
		In retribution the Ikhwan killed his murderer, Fahd, the son of one of Ibn Sa'ud's governors, and commandeered the road between Ibn Sa'ud's capital, Riyadh, and the Persian Gulf.

		The full name of the association was Ikhwan al-Safa wa Khullan al-Wafa wa Ahl al-adl wa abna al-Hamd (i.e., "The Brethren of Purity, the Faithful Friends, the Men of Justice and the Sons deserving praiseworthy Conduct"), a name which was suggested to them by the chapter of the "Ring-Necked Dove" in Kalimah wa Dimnah.
		Tibawi rather than Goldziher was therefore closer to the truth when he observed that the name "Ikhwan as-Safa" was chosen as an imitation of the Sufi tendency to associate their name with safa (purity).
		It is said that the members of the Ikhwan as-Safa formed a sort of Masonic Lodge, who lived in the Lower Mesopotamian river port of Basra; debating on literature, religion, philosophy and science.

		One feature of the Ikhwan’s campaign was its direct and fearless call for the introduction of Islamic rule, although it is not entirely clear what it meant by this; perhaps it was happy to be vague, considering that there was not prospect of its actually coming to power.
		The Ikhwan has always been regarded as ‘moderate' by Egyptians and their rulers, because it is publicly committed to opposing violence and supporting "democratic" rule.
		If the Ikhwan has really become more radical and is determined to pursue an essentially Islamic programme, then it should go for swift change and an early departure from power of the Mubarak dynasty and the elites who prop it up.

	Muslim American Society
		Rasa’il, the Ikhwan were many and widespread; yet their organization was close-knit.
		This enthusiasm for knowledge carried the Ikhwan to a perfect Socratism where knowledge, the good, and virtue are identified with one another.
		The Ikhwan's neighborly love consisted not in charitable and altruistic sacrifices or in desiring ethical results in the persons of others, but first and foremost in educating one's neighbor, in bringing to him knowledge, man's most precious possession.

	Ikhwan al-Safa'
		The final goal of the Ikhwan is salvation; their Brotherhood is the ship of that salvation, and they foster a spirit of asceticism and good living accompanied by 'actual knowledge' as aids to that longed-for salvation.
		The Ikhwan indeed compare the soul in the body to the state of a man imprisoned inside a lavatory: the body's blemishes and sins are like the filth in the lavatory.
		It is clear that the Ikhwan were familiar with Plato's doctrine of Forms or ideai, since they quote a speaker saying that the different types of animal in the world simply mirror those in the world of the spheres and the heavens (see Plato).

	The Arabist » Backlash against the Ikhwan
		The Ikhwan version is that these buses were either carrying out-of-district voters or thugs.
		I suspect local security leadership may make a big difference in these matters, and also want to stress that Ikhwan supporters, apparently buoyed by their recent success, were more ready to escalate things in the face of police or other type of obstructions than they might have otherwise.
		I’ve read several articles suggesting that the real magic number for the ikhwan is 65, which is the threshold for endorsing an independent presidential candidate.

		Above such a fluctuating and extreme relationship at the political, religious and intellectual levels lies an important truth: it is the heavy cultural and intellectual weight of both parties that makes them inevitably and permanently attractive, interesting and challenging to one another.
		The new Ikhwan leadership is well positioned to respond to this question.
		Sheikh Nimr: I think the Ikhwan was part of a broader movement that began with the spiritual fathers [of Islamism], Muhammad Abdu, Rashid Riba and al-Afghani, who were my spiritual fathers.

	Support the lesser evil [in Saudi Arabia] - article by Daniel Pipes
		As he cracked down on the Ikhwan in the years after his conquest of Mecca, it revolted, leading to a civil war that lasted until Abdul-Aziz defeated his renegade forces in 1930.
		Seen in today's terms, the Ikhwan resembled the Taliban in their greater purity and extremism and Abdul-Aziz resembled his sons who continue to rule the less pure kingdom he founded.
		But this is mild compared to the Ikhwan version, for the monarchy does promulgate non-Koranic laws, it tacitly permits non-Islamic worship, limits the writ of the Mutawwa, and permits women to leave the house.

	Hassan al-Banna (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In the book "Letter To A Muslim Student" (FOSIS,1995) the dynamics of the Ikhwan are explained: Hassan al-Banna's greatest achievement was his ability to create a sophisticated, organisational structure aiming to translate his vision into real life.
		However what distinguishes the Ikhwan from other groups which were established in the twenties and afterwards is the former's holistic approach.
		The Ikhwan was not merely a social, political or religious association or group.

		Krishan Pal saidthat the Ikhwan are the eyes and the ears of the security forces and that they have a very important role to play in defeating the proxy war being waged on Kashmir soil.
		Later that same day, a party of Ikhwan and the 15th Rashtriya Rifles came to his house, but T. was not there at the time.
		He believes that Ikhwan told the army that he was working with the militants.

	Dismay as Egypt intensifies its crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood
		President Husni Mubarak stepped up his assault on the Ikhwan al-Muslimun in Egypt earlier this month by issuing a presidential decree transferring the cases of 20 of the movement's most senior and prominent members, who were arrested last month, from the civil court system to military courts.
		The move has alarmed even the Ikhwan's political opponents, who have condemned the moves and demanded that the prisoners be granted their full constitutional rights.
		But Abdul Hafeez also strongly criticized the Ikhwan, accusing them of resorting to unfair means to secure their grip on the professional unions, and of being opportunistic to the extent of maintaining secret ties with government officials.

		Right now, the Brotherhood has other problems, with continuous arrests taking place and PM Nazif thinking that they should not be in parliament in first place.
		As far as I can tell, the NDP does have a stated economic policy but they selectively implement it while concentrating economic reform around a handful of ministers.
		As I said, I applaude your effort but I do think the Ikhwan are being held to a unfair standard - or certainly not the same loose standard that journalists hold the NDP to….

	Rasa'il Ikhwan as-Safa
		(2) The second argument is too involved to have been stated in the EI ('Les cycles de la souverainete selon les epitres des Ikhwan al-Safa'', Studia Islamica, XXXVI, 1972, 47-69, and the corresponding chapter in L'Imam et la societe, 21 ff.).
		It reopens the issue of the prediction in the Rasa'il of an impending success for "the cause", which Casanova, inspired by de Goeje, once related to the astrologically important conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in 1047.
		If the timing of the Fatimid campaigns was astrologically inspired their calculations (de Goeje,122) must have been somewhat different from those of the Ikhwan.
