Bismillâhirrahmânirrahîm;
One of the "inviting" Muslims in the Islamic world is the Egyptian Hassan al-Banna. He was born in 1906. He received a good religious education. He taught Arabic in Ismailiyya for a while. He started the Muslim Brotherhood movement in 1928. He rebelled against the British exploitation of the Islamic world. The authorities were uncomfortable with him. He was martyred in 1949. But the movement he started spread throughout Egypt. It also affected other Islamic countries.
Hasan al-Banna built his ideas on a systematic foundation. It was organized to spread the sacred teaching. He determined the working principles of the plaintiff. MGV Publications published his work, “Principles of Our Case”. Hasan al-Banna gifted this work to the mujahideen of the Muslim Brotherhood, who believe in the majesty of their cause and the sanctity of their ideas.
Saying that these principles are "the teachings to be applied in our lives", he listed the principles that the litigant should abide by in 10 articles:
1. Understanding: He worked with a principle of “Islam is the name of a system that is involved in all aspects of life and encompasses all areas. Diving into matters that are not our duty are things like unnecessary burdens that are forbidden to us”. He advised the litigants to look after their own duties and not fail to represent their cases.
Hasan al-Banna explains that Islam liberates the mind and gives direction and says: “It encourages the mind to look at the universe with the eye of an example. It exalts the value of science and scholars. He welcomes anything that is true and useful. Wisdom is the lost property of the believer. He has the right to get it wherever he finds it.”
INVITATION LIVES WITH JIHAD
2. COMPLETE WORSHIP: It is the leaven of work done in the way of Allah. Worldly interests are not considered in the sacrifices made for the sake of the cause. In the work, Ikhlas is described as "demanding the pleasure of a Muslim's actions and jihad only, but only for Allah's consent". For such people, the expression "warrior of faith and opinion" is used.
3. Deed: Representatives of the right cause are men of their word. He lives as he believes. Talking and not doing what is necessary is not sick. Al-Banna defines deed as "the fruit of faith and sincerity". According to him, the owner of the case, “He must reform himself first.” This is the first condition of being successful.
4. Jihad: Removing the obstacles on the way to Allah. The aim of jihad is love and compassion for Allah's servants. It aims to eliminate oppression and injustice. Hasan al-Banna said, “No invitation can survive without jihad. Our permanent motto is Jihad is our way”.
5. Sacrifice: It is the driving force of success. Victory is not won without serious effort. The result is not achieved without sweat traces mixed with dust traces. Sacrifice is defined in the work with the phrase "Sacrificing our soul, life and everything for our purpose", and its limits are determined: "It is our highest desire to die in the way of Allah."
6. Obedience in difficulty and ease: Plan and discipline are essential to the conduct of a major cause. This is achieved by obedience to the given order. The saying “The more obedience, the more victory” has been confirmed in history. Al-Banna defines obedience as "immediately carrying out the command".
DEVOTED PEOPLE
7. Persistence: The best of things are those that are done “continuously” even if it is little. Those who persist, don't give up, stay on target, and set their watch for victory always win. al-Banna persistence; He explains it as "the continuation of the Muslim brothers to remain mujahids for their cause".
8. Devotion: We see the ideal example of this in the sacrifice, the prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael. In the book "Principles of Our Case", the subject is explained as "Getting rid of other people and doctrines for the sake of ideas and causes", and the following justification is put forward: "Your opinion is the most complete and culmination of ideas."
9. Brotherhood: We see the peak of brotherhood between Ansar and Muhajir in the migration to Medina. The Ansar shared their hearts, soups, bread and goods with the immigrants who migrated from Mecca. Al-Banna describes the brotherhood of the cause as “the inseparable bond of souls and hearts with the bond of faith”.
10. Trust: A solid organization is based on an unshakable trust established between the leader and its members. Al-Banna adopts trust as "everything" in the achievement of the cause of the cause and says: "The invitee has a deep sense of trust in his soul that will inspire a feeling of love, respect and appreciation for his leader."
