Sayyid Qutb (9 October 1906 in Musha – executed on 29 August 1966) was an important theoretician of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood.
Qutb concluded that the unity of God and His sovereignty meant that human rule – government legislates its own behavior – is illegitimate.

Sayyed Qutb was more strident in his thoughts of a worldwide Islamist movement which transcends state boundaries and ethnic distinctions.
Qutb is concerned not just with planning how a theocratic state should be led, but how to achieve one through violent confrontation (which is of course the only means once rules out electoral participation).
Qutb's failure to follow his own guidelines (as well as the failure of his model) was but the first; many more failures, in Syria and Libya and Iraq, would follow.

 The Thought of Sayyid Qutb by Luke Loboda
Qutb argues that such exploitation allowed the temporal leaders, who were in a power struggle with the papacy, to use the people against the Church: "They resorted mainly to unveiling the scandals of the clergymen, exposing their clandestine perfidy and personal debauchery, which had been disguised behind priestly robes and ecclesiastical ritual."40
Qutb argues that Islamic "has guaranteed to women a complete equality with men with regard to their sex."96 Because men and women were created from the same soul, they have no inherent inequality.
Qutb summarizes this view by stating: "The fundamental principle is that property belongs to the community in general; individual possession is a stewardship which carries with it conditions and limitations."112 His rights are reliant on fulfillment of his economic duties to society because all property is owned by God in the larger sense.
